A man votes Monday as an Alberta elections employee helps him to slide his paper into the ballot box in Calgary. A majority of Albertans have voted in favour of having more say in immigration and restricting access to health care, education and social services for non-permanent residents in the province. All four immigration-related questions on the ballot garnered more than 50 per cent of the “Yes” votes in Monday’s referendum dealing with potential Albertan independence and immigration and constitutional reform. But experts say the results, while politically charged, tell a more nuanced story about how the province views newcomers, and may change very little in practice.

A metro-area lawyer is raising the alarm about the number of sexual assault nurse examiners in the province.

Dr. William Moores says urgent action is needed with approximately 2,800 patients currently waiting up to four years for surgery. He says that number could balloon to 6,100 patients by 2030, given the province’s aging population. Moores says that’s a lot of people waiting a long time with pain and disability. He’s suggesting that, instead of accommodating patients in a system while competing with other health care needs, that the needs of patients come first.(File Photo from 2023: Divisional Head of Orthopaedics with NL Health Services, Dr. Will Moores, Former Premier Andrew Furey, and former MHA Steve Crocker.)Moores says it’s not a new concept, with similar centres up and running in eight other provinces that “have been quite successful in helping decrease wait times.”He says among patients requiring hit and knee replacements, the population is fairly homogenous, “so you can really design and help increase the efficiency by designing it specifically for the delivery of those several procedures.
