Alberta This Week (Your Voice For Choice)
November 15 - November 21, 2025
This is YOUR resource - Share any links here on social media to educate others! - “Your Voice For Choice.” Welcome to your Non-Partisan Information Source of Alberta News - Mainly, we collect the news from around the province, Canada, and the world that affects Alberta!
(If you have a picture you would like to share for our newsletter, please send it to abresistance2027@gmail.com with your name. It helps differentiate it from the other newsletters. Everyone who stands up for the rights of all is dangerous in this government’s eyes. They seek to divide us, rather than unite us.
This has been a busy week at the Legislature and in the news. You make a difference. They are planning on extending the fall sitting 2 weeks, until December 11, 2025. There are rumblings that they are going to revise the Recall Legislation. They are also putting through bills that will adversely affect Albertans. You need to make your voice heard along with your fellow Albertans. Standing together, change will happen. Please know you are not alone; they just want us to think they have all the power. They don’t; the people who elected them do. Your voice matters, you matter. Let’s do this together.
**********
WE have heard there is some confusion about our purpose. We are here to help Albertans recall their MLAs if they are not acting in your best interests. Here is a slide show that outlines how recalls work. ABResistance.ca Recalls As part of our process, we started sharing information through our newsletters and research articles, as well as building community.

Upcoming Events: See our short three-page ABR Resistor for Updates about upcoming events. ABR Resistor Update - AB Resistance, November 21, 2025
************
Update on Athana - the UCP/Marlaina/Danielle are blaming Athana for lost notes on the Dynalife privatization fiasco. Truthfully, if they were there, Athana would have handed them over in a heartbeat. She wanted to do the best for Albertans, and she wasn’t implicated in the mess, but the UCP/LaGrange and Smith sure were. Are they trying to gaslight us?

Does this make sense? We think not!

Links for Health Information:
Measles Tracker - We now have the highest number of Measles Cases in the world, and to think it was almost eradicated 50 years ago. Thanks in part to Alberta, Canada has lost its Measles Eradication Status. https://www.alberta.ca/measles We are up to 1966 cases (up 5 from last week) so far in Alberta. This is the highest per capita measles count in all of North America (possibly the world). Unfortunately, we have more measles cases.
Pre-book Your COVID-19 and Flu shots here: Update: people are having difficulty getting their vaccinations - the government is running out. Last year, 700,000 Albertans were vaccinated, so the government ordered 30% less. Alberta has 450,000 doses.
2026-27 due by December 15, 2025: https://bookvaccine.alberta.ca/vaccine/s/preorder/share/p/17EnJXs8vH/?mibextid=wwXIfr
Last year, 700,000 Albertans got the COVID-19 vaccine. This year, the Alberta Government chose to order 30% less and received 430,000 vaccines, then they are charging $100/vaccine.
Drug stores are administering COVID vaccines for an Alberta government administrative fee of $100 + a dispensing fee.
Here is a map you can check for availability.

Info for flu and RSV vaccines at pharmacies.
Respiratory Dashboard - Here is a link to Alberta’s respiratory virus dashboard - including RSV, Flu, and COVID-19 cases. (Last updated Nov 15, 2025) So far, it shows 3 flu deaths and 3 COVID-19 deaths. 5 flu and 5 COVID patients in ICU.

UCP Travels: They were all back in Alberta last week. The UCP MLAs have taken 69 trips and have been out of Canada for a total of 311 days.
This year, Dani has been gone for 44 days and has taken 9 trips out of Canada.
The Legislature sits for 13 out of 52 weeks in 2025. 13 weeks x 4 days (because they have Fridays off) = 52 days they are working for you at the legislature! They are not governing for Albertans when you look at what they are cutting for citizens, and then have trips on our dime!

Miscellaneous facts and information for you:
This Week has been a flurry of bills introduced and information shared. This shows that the Government is showing its cards as it reacts to the many recalls that are in the works. They talk about a waste of taxpayer dollars on recalls, as each one if a by-election is called will cost Albertans $5 million. They have wasted more than $85 billion in the six years they have been in power - that would fund 17,000 recalls. The good news is that we need at least 5 to be successful in recalling this government.
Here is our list of money wasted to August 2025: HOW THE UCP IS COSTING ALBERTANS BILLIONS OF $$$.docx

Health Care: More Health Information: How much would you have to pay for premiums in 2025 for privatized Health Care? Here is some data:
Private Education: How much will that cost?
The rich will prosper and there will soon be no middle class, they will pit us against each other for survival. Standing up now will stop them.
***********************
MLA Pay: How much did MLAs take home in 2024? I am glad you asked - way more than Nurses or Teachers. Many MLAs have a high school diploma or at most a Bachelor’s degree.
Here is what Doctors in Alberta make after 8 years of education.
Gross Clinical Payments: These are the total payments from Alberta Health (fee-for-service, alternative payment plans, etc.) before any deductions. For 2022-2023 (the latest full-year data published in 2024), the average gross clinical payment per full-time equivalent (FTE) physician in Alberta was $458,003. This is higher than the national average of $369,000. Preliminary 2023-2024 national data shows a 6.5% increase in total payments, suggesting Alberta’s gross average likely rose to around $487,000 (applying the national growth rate conservatively, as provincial specifics for 2024 are not yet fully published).
Overhead Costs: Typically 30-40% of gross for family physicians and general practices in Alberta. Recent estimates include:
27% pre-COVID (2018-2019) for family medicine.
35-40% for urban family practices (2016 data, still widely cited).
Higher for specialties (e.g., 55% for ophthalmologists, 50% + for dermatologists).
Net Income Calculation: Using the 2022-2023 gross of $458,003 and a conservative 35% overhead rate yields an average net of $297,702. Adjusting for the estimated 6.5% gross increase to 2024 brings this to approximately $317,000. This aligns with job market data (e.g., Indeed and Glassdoor estimates of $198,000-$331,000 for physicians, likely reflecting net figures across roles). UCP MLAs make almost the same wage for 52 days of work.
This shows that the UCP MLAs make almost as much if not more than Doctors in Alberta do. They want to create divisiveness, not unify Albertans. Working together Albertans can overcome this!

A Message from ABR (Alberta Resistance)
Recalls: RecallNicolaides.ca launched in Calgary Bow on October 17, and Angela Pitt’s recall was approved on November 3rd; both are collecting signatures.
https://pitt-recall.ca/ and lately Friday, November 21st - the Recall Dyck (Grande Prairie) https://recallnolandyck.ca/ got the go-ahead to collect signatures! They are posting locations on Social Media where to sign and on OperationTotalRecall.ca (This week, several more recalls have been approved for recall and are awaiting response from MLAs before moving forward to the next step.)
We would love to hear from you if you are interested in standing up a Recall in your riding. We have resources on constituencies, a 10-step process, and support in place for you! Contact us at: abresistance2027@gmail.com We are still planning to hold more town halls.
Which area that the Alberta government is working on concerns you the most?
Health Care ( hospitals- being able to transfer hospitals to other organizations to run, siloing health care, health care staff, vaccine accessibility, paying private facilities to do public surgeries, other.) They are now talking about allowing Doctors to have private/public practices where there is a pay-to-access services. It has not worked well in other countries, but Marlaina/Danielle wants to break public health care, so that’s where Alberta is heading.
Education (building charter and providing funding to support building, funding charter and private schools while public schools are struggling, firing Support staff during COVID lockdowns and not hiring them all back, not funding complex classrooms, the funding formula, not negotiating with teachers). News Flash - Webber Academy Calgary received over $5 million last year, and they donated $3.8 million to West Aspen Holdings. Since 2018, they have donated $73 million to this entity. Webber Academy’s $70m Slush Fund - by the ATA rank and file
Oil and Gas (not capping abandoned wells, Mature Asset Strategy, Pipelines.
Environment - Coal mining in the Rockies, Water conservation, developing the Little Smoky area, hunting, Oil and Gas well shutdowns, pipelines, others? Corb Lund has filed a Citizen Initiative to stop coal mining in the Rockies.
AISH/ADAP - Clawing back $200 from the federal government’s Canadian Disability Benefit for people on AISH and ADAP. Charging those in subsidized housing more - $200/month. or that they are moving all AISH recipients to ADAP, which will lower their monthly payment, and allow them to claw back more money if they are working. Currently, AISH recipients can earn over $1000 without money being deducted from their AISH payment. If they go on ADAP, they can only make $350 more. Here is a link to the information Understanding the proposed changes to AISH, the new Alberta Disability Assistance Program (ADAP), (this may no longer be active and suggestions on how to respond to the ADAP survey.) There is a petition out that you can sign letting the government know you are against the transitioning of AISH recipients onto ADAP, which results in less money to live on.
Are there any we have missed? Let us know.
Build Community: Albertans need to work together to educate and build community. Finding your people is important. We are starting to host Zoom meetings and setting up to connect people in communities across Alberta.
Town halls will be starting up; watch for one in your area. The Separatists and the Far right, like TBA (Take Back Alberta), are well-organized and have lots of money. We need to counter that with information and community. Be a part of the change. See our ABR Resistor Update
There are several opportunities to attend rallies and protests this week.
Join our Facebook page or a group in your area that shares events, information, and ideas on how to spread the word.
The Public Funds for Public Education campaign is off and running. At the Legislature on Thursday, there were canvassers with petitions and smiles! Each one of us can make a difference. Sign up to canvass here:
https://abfundspublicschools.ca/ (cut and paste in your browser)
or sign the petition; every signature counts.
Knowledge:
Talk to your friends and share what you know. Watching the Socials, we see more outrage and anger about what is happening to Health Care, Education, Social Services, and the Environment in this province. These areas affect everyone! It’s time to speak up.
(They only win if we give up!)
Wins this week -
We are working with other groups to show up at peaceful demonstrations around the province. For details, see our ABR Resistor Update.

Alberta NDP membership link. Not the same thing as the federal NDP anymore. Hope that wasn't deliberate, just a typo on your part.
Love this perspective! It's so vital to remember that true power comes from the people, not from those trying to divide us. Your work clarifying how citizens can hold their represantatives accountable is incredibly important. Standing together realy is the only algorithm for change.
