Again, Let us not brush over the shock of what just transpired. It is a betrayal at the deepest level. My neighbour is a nurse and did not want to get the experimental treatment. She even went to a few rallies. She summited in the end to keep her job. Of which she did just fine up to that point... I know other health care workers that simply left on their own accord...

 

Roughly 1,650 unvaccinated Alberta Health Services employees placed on unpaid leave

From front line heroes to that in a short span will have it's effect. I'm sure many also didn't enjoy the degree of censorship and authoritarianism in regards to treatments etc. 

 

Not to mention "unpaid leave" is illegal.

I personally know 2 nurses who were fired due to covax non compliance. Both lost their licenses to practice privately as well.

Ontario: Burned out, closing practices: Family doctors warn health-care situation will likely get worse

Ottawa Citizen, June 5.

“I never envisioned this. I always expected I would be the doctor who would retire with patients I had known for 35 years. To get to the point where I am willing to walk away, that is a really big deal. It is a huge deal.”

Who thought the post would be a good idea?

“ One commentator called it a public relations failure to post about a polarizing figure, but Brohman said the reaction to Henry “was unlike anything I’ve seen before.”
You don’t hate people for two years in a disguise of an old auntie for free…

Dismissing the reaction to “hate” and painting her a victim is ridiculous. Even without the insanity of the last two years that’s an obvious “let them eat cake” PR mistake. Give the bikes away, do another draw, donate another two bikes to make it four… so many better options that would be in touch with reality.

She makes $380,000 per year.   If she wants to donate some of that taxpayer money back, just make a standard donation or enter the draw in a family members name(s).  So stupid on the part of all parties.

Actually we don't know how much she has made since the Government has redacted her salary and expenses these past two years. Either way, this is the same as the CEO of a company winning the company raffle at the annual party. Common sense is that you don't put your name in the hat or you give the prize back. Accepting the prize and posting pictures is just dumb and reflects a sense of tone deafness.

 

Blaming the criticism on her being female is counter-productive and insulting to women.

They couldn't blame race since she is a blonde.

It’s also not much of a news story: a tweet was taken down.

^ It's still on their Facebook page.

Tone deaf indeed.

Lots of people feel she killed hundreds of British Columbians. Not a great move to highlight her.

Is this lottery really as random as it is purported to be? That’s an incredible coincidence. Statistically speaking extremely unlikely, unless Dr. Henry purchased thousands of dollars worth of entries, which she very well may have.

Like, if you’re wealthy, would you gamble with $5,000 to potentially win an $80,000 price? Quite possibly.

This.

Also I am surprised with all the money that was burned over the last two years they couldn't find $10million for some hospital equipment? This has to be raised by a raffle? Take it out of the museum budget....

No point using Government money when the public will pay.

Physician shortage limits access to abortion on Island: doctor

 

Though many abortion providers are unlisted to avoid harassment and stigma, they are often still available in rural areas — patients just need a point of contact with the health-care system to find one.

 

A recent leak of U.S. Supreme Court documents detailing plans to overturn Roe v. Wade prompted B.C. Green Party Leader Sonia Furstenau to ask the premier during question period in the B.C. legislature May 19 about improving abortion access across the province.

^Like killing fetuses is the biggest medical problem we have in BC.  Sonia needs to wake up, and I don’t mean woke.

Despite the fact that not a single leader of a major political party in Canada is advocating for more restrictions on abortions, we have an unending parade of politicians who want to score political points on the matter.
