Sorry for the cross posting this however we have a crisis under way over attempts to privatize health care. Mass spontaneous demonstrations have broken out. The Alberta Government in Canada is trying to pass a bill (Bill 11) that would privatize health services in the province. This is a threat to the national Medicare system that we have. Mass protests have erupted in the province as the arrogant government attempts to push through the bill using closure of debate in the legislature. On Saturday April 15 over 4000 people rallied in Calgary Alberta to protest Bill 11, 8000-9000 rallied in Edmonton Alberta on Sunday April 16. As the bill has entered third and final reading the government has said it wants it passed by easter. As the house sits each night since Monday mass demonstrations have occured including occupations of the legislature. Your support and voice is needed to show solidarity and help stop this bill. If you have a web site you can link to my healthcare web site www.labournet.ca/abhealth.html which has links to the governments page which I would encourage you to email/phone/fax protest letters too. Send copies of your lettersto the opposition parties, and meida links on the site. As well links are there for the Friends of Medicare and Save Our Health Care. Also I have posted the latest news, and will continue to do so, as this confrontation continues. Kill Bill 11 Yours in Solidarity, Eugene Plawiuk
