Suggesting that infants be flown out of province to receive the care they need is a declaration of failure by this UCP government.   My heart goes out to the families of kids in the NICU who should be celebrating the birth of their child, but who are instead dealing with nightmares. Being told that the care their little one needs is not available in Alberta only adds to their tragedy.   Danielle Smith should be focused on doing what is necessary to recruit and retain critical front line workers rather than nickel and diming them at the bargaining table and then writing press releases slandering them after the fact. This is not the way to ensure we have the health-care workers that we need.   She needs to reverse her decision to cancel the new hospital in South Edmonton that would have added new NICU beds in addition to a new Stollery, just to bring us to the minimum capacity that we need for a young and expanding population.   This is the most important job that the Premier has, but instead she spends her time whining about the Prime Minister’s jurisdiction. Danielle Smith needs to understand this situation as the emergency that it is.
