More doctors across Alberta are speaking out, saying their emergency rooms are under intense strain, despite political messaging to the contrary.
On Wednesday, nearly 200 Calgary physicians published an open letter describing “collapsing” ERs and calling for Albertans to think about health care when they vote in Monday’s provincial election.

If trends continue, we will drop to 64th in the world in life expectancy by 2040, though we will continue to spend significantly more per capita than nearly any other nation.
Diagnosing this failure is not difficult. Nearly…
