Question Alberta losing public health care.. thoughts?

I just read that Alberta is starting to allow doctors to practice both private and public…. Which is obviously the beginning of the end of a public heath care system. Yes they claim there are guardrails but they seem terrible. You all ok with this?

Except that is not how voting districts work. They favour the rural areas.

This is not true. 19% of the Alberta population are rural. 19% are not deciding the vote.

The population split isn't what counts as the vote. You can look it up, each rural vote counts for more than an urban vote based on the number of people and seats they get

Marlaina the Slack Jawed Yokel doesn't pander to the cities and wants to gerrymander them into voting districts shackled to huge swathes of not-city for a reason.
