Jonah 1

The Call of Jonah

1 Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai, saying,

2 "Get up, go to Nineveh, the great city, and cry out against it,

because their wickedness has come up before Me."

3 But Jonah got up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.

He went down to Joppa and found there a ship going to Tar­shish.

He paid its fare and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish

from the presence of the Lord.

4 But the Lord hurled a great wind upon the sea, and a mighty storm

came upon the sea, so that the ship was in danger of breaking up.

5 Then the sailors were afraid, and each cried to his god.

They tossed the ship's cargo into the sea in order to lighten the load.

But Jonah had gone down into the hold of the ship, had lain down,

and was fast asleep.

6 The captain came to him and said, "What are you doing asleep?

Get up, call to your god! Perhaps your god will consider us,

so that we will not perish."

7 The sailors said to one another, "Come, let us cast lots

that we may know on whose account this disaster has come upon us."

So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.

8 Then the sailors said to Jonah, "Tell us why this disaster has come

upon us. What is your occupation? Where do you come from?

What is your country? And from what people are you?"

9 Jonah replied, "I am a Hebrew, and I fear the Lord,

the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land."

10 Then the men were very afraid and said to him,

"What is this you have done?" For the men knew that he was fleeing

from the presence of the Lord because he had told them.

11 Then they said to Jonah, "What shall we do to you, so that the sea

may quiet down for us?" For the sea was growing stormier.

12 So Jonah said to them,"Pick me up and toss me into the sea.

Then the sea will quiet down for you. For I know that it is

on my account this great storm has come upon you."

13 Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to bring the ship to land,

but they could not do it, for the sea grew more tempestuous against them.

14 Then they cried to the Lord and said, "Please, Lord, do not let us perish

for this man's life, and do not make us guilty for innocent blood,

for You, Lord, have done as it pleased You."

15So they picked up Jonah and tossed him into the sea.

Then the sea ceased from its raging.

16 Therefore the men were very afraid of the Lord,

and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows.



The Prayer and Deliverance of Jonah



17 Now the Lord appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah.

And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.



Jonah 2



1 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish.

2 He said:

"I called to the Lord out of my distress,

and He answered me.

Out of the belly of Sheol I cried,

and You heard my voice.

3 You cast me into the deep,

into the heart of the seas,

and the flood surrounded me.

All Your billows and Your waves

passed over me.

4 Then I said, 'I am cast away

from Your sight;

yet I will look again

to Your holy temple.'

5 The waters encompassed me; even to my soul

the deep surrounded me;

weeds were wrapped around my head.

6 I went down to the foundations of the mountains;

the earth with its bars was around me forever;

yet You have brought up my life from the pit,

O Lord my God.

7 "When my life was ebbing away,

I remembered the Lord;

and my prayer came to You,

into Your holy temple.

8 "Those who follow vain idols

forsake their true loyalty.

9 But I will sacrifice to You

with the voice of thanksgiving;

I will pay what I have vowed.

Salvation is of the Lord!"

10 Then the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon dry land.



Jonah 3



Jonah Preaches at Nineveh



1 The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying,

2 “Get up, go to Nineveh, the great city,

and proclaim to it the message that I tell you."

3 So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord.

Now Nineveh was an exceedingly large city, a three-day journey across.

4 Jonah began to enter the city, going a day's walk.

And he cried out, "In forty days' time, Nineveh will be overthrown!"

5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast.

And everyone, great and small, put on sackcloth.

6 When the news reached the king of Nineveh, he arose from his throne,

removed his robe, covered himself in sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

7 Then he made a proclamation in Nineveh:

"By decree of the king and his nobles:

No man or animal, no herd or flock, shall taste anything.

They shall not eat or drink water.

8 Both man and animals shall cover themselves with sackcloth

and cry mightily to God. All shall turn from their evil ways

and from the violence that is in their hands.

9 Who knows? God may relent and change His mind.

He may turn from His fierce anger, so that we will not perish."

10 When God saw their actions, that they turned from their evil ways,

He changed His mind about the disaster that He had said He would bring

upon them, and He did not do it.



Jonah 4



Jonah's Anger and the Lord's Compassion



1 Now this greatly displeased Jonah, and he became angry.

2 He prayed to the Lord and said, "O Lord! Is this not

what I said while I was still in my own land?

This is the reason that I fled before to Tarshish,

because I knew that You are a gracious God and merciful,

slow to anger, abundant in faithfulness, and ready to relent from punishment.

3 Therefore, Lord, take my life from me,

for it is better for me to die than to live."

4 Then the Lord said, "Is it right for you to be angry?"

5 So Jonah went out of the city and sat down east of the city

and made for himself a booth there. He sat under it in the shade,

waiting to see what would happen to the city.

6 Then the Lord God appointed a plant, and it grew up over Jonah to provide

shade over his head, to provide comfort from his grief.

And Jonah was very happy about the plant.

7 But at dawn the next day, God appointed a worm to attack the plant

so that it withered.

8 When the sun rose, God appointed a scorching east wind,

and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah so that he became

faint and asked that he might die.

He said, "It is better for me to die than to live."

9 Then God said to Jonah, "Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?"

And Jonah replied, "It is right for me to be angry, even to death."

10 The Lord said, "You are troubled about the plant

for which you did not labor and did not grow.

It came up in a night and perished in a night.

11 Should I not, therefore, be concerned about Nineveh,

that great city, in which there are

more than a hundred and twenty thousand people,

who do not know their right hand from their left, and also many animals?"

Matthew 6:5-13



The Lord's Prayer

Lk 11:1-4

5 "When you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites.

For they love to pray standing in the synagogues

and on the street corners that they may be seen by men.

Truly I say to you, they have their reward.

6 But you, when you pray, enter your closet, and when you have shut your door,

pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret

will reward you openly.

7 But when you pray, do not use vain repetitions, as the heathen do.

For they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.

8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you have need

of before you ask Him.

9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.



Romans 8:16



16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirits

that we are the children of God,



John Sowers in his book Fatherless Generation writes that

"No generation has seen as much voluntary father absence as this one

with 25 million kids growing up in single-parent homes." In my own experience,

if I'd bumped into my father on the street, I wouldn't have known him.

My parents were divorced when I was very young, and all the photos of my dad

were burned. So for years I felt fatherless. Then at age thirteen,

I heard the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9–13) and said to myself,

You may not have an earthly father,

but now you have God as your heavenly Father.



In Matthew 6:9 we're taught to pray, "Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name." Previously verse 7 says not to "keep on babbling"

when praying, and we may wonder how these verses are connected.

I realized that because God remembers, we don't need to repeat.

He truly understands, so we don't need to explain.

He has a compassionate heart, so we don't need to be uncertain

of His goodness. And because He knows the end from the beginning,

we know His timing is perfect.



Because God is our Father, we don't need to use "many words" (v. 7)

to move Him. Through prayer, we're talking with a Father who loves

and cares for us and made us His children through Jesus.



By: Albert Lee



Reflect & Pray



When have you tried to "move God" in prayer by using many words?

How does having a relationship with Him as your Father help you to trust Him?



Dear heavenly Father, thank You for making me Your child

and for being a Father that welcomes me into Your presence through prayer.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 3 The Kind Heart of Forgiveness



Eph 4:32



32 (2Co 2:10; Col 3:12–13; Mt 6:12)And be kind one to another,

tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you.



Don had lost his job because he sttod against his boss and refused to

comprimise his Christian principles. Certain friends in the company had

turned against him, choosing to save their own jobs at any cost,

and he felt very alone, abandoned when he most needed the support

of those who cared.

But Don showed no signs of bitterness or unforgiveness. He refused to

recite the details of his firing to those around him, saying simply and

honestly, " I beleive my boss was wrong in what he did. But God can show

him." The kindness of Don's heart ., and the tenderness with which he

extended forgiveness, became a testimony to all who knew him. Don's

boss never "saw the light", never repented, but Don lived in the freedom of

forgiving.

Comparison is a rare commodity among Christains today. We seem to be

overstocked with judgment and crammed fukk of condemnation, but we have

little space in the corners of our lives for tenderheartedness. We are quick

to assume that we know another person's heart and have the remedy for

the problem, rather then giving that person the benefit of the doubt,

the room to grow, the freedom to make a mistake and seek forgiveness.

Jesus demonstrated the king compassion necessary in forgivemess when he

looked down at the soldiers who has crucified him, gambling at his feet

for his cloak, and said, "Father , forgive them, for they do not know what

are doing."

When others hurt and betray us, they often "do not know what they are

doing." we can, in Christ, offer compassionate forgiveness to them -

not condoning their actions or excusing their wrong, but forgiving ,

in the simplicity and purity of God's love.



Application



a) What is the difference between excusing a wrong and forgiving?



b) How has God forgiven me for Christ's sake?



c) What does today's verse tell me about my attitude in forgiveness?





4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Luke 6:38



38 "Give, and it will be given to you: Good measure, pressed down,

shaken together, and running over will men give unto you.

For with the measure you use, it will be measured unto you.”



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are Burdened by Doubt



Proverbs 30:5



5 Every word of God is pure;

He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer

Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."



6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)



Where do Muslims live?



Canada is a land of immigrants. And Muslims are coming in increasing numbers

to our shores. Where do they live? How can we prayfor these areas? Use this as

your more effectively for Muslims in Canada.



Data for those population figures is extrapoled for the 2011 National

Household Survay and population growth projections by Pew Forum. These have

also been adjusted by +40% as reliable sources state that on 60% of Muslims

self-identify on government surveys and forms. These estimates are still on

the conservative end of the spectrum. Percentages represent that of the total

Canadian population, not provincial

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.



Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,

"What does this mean?"

13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."



Peter's Speech at Pentecost



14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice

and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,

let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,

since it is the third hour of the day.

16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,

'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions,

and your old men shall dream dreams.'



- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.



- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.



Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -



Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity



(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, atheists, secular humanists, ...) .

and your understanding in the sight of the nations which shall hear

all these statutes, and say, "Surely this great nation is a wise

and understanding people."



7 (2Sa 7:23; Ps 46:1) For what nation is there so great, who has a god so near

to it as the Lord our God is in all things whenever we call on Him?



Matt 5:13-16



13 (Lev 2:13; Lk 14:34-35) "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt

loses its saltiness, how shall it be made salty? It is from then on good

for nothing but to be thrown out and to be trampled underfoot by men.

14 (Jn 8:12; Pr 4:18) "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on

a hill cannot be hidden.

15 (Mk 4:21; Lk 8:16) Neither do men light a candle

and put it under a basket, but on a candlestick.

And it gives light to all who are in the house.

From Dr. David Swann



Yesterday in Red Deer I announced the most comprehensive arts and culture policy

of any party. 



Even in these most uncertain economic times support for Alberta's creative

community must continue. For every dollar invested in the arts, an estimated

$12 of economic activity is created. 



Alberta Liberals believe that arts and culture - museums and art galleries, book

publishing and live theatre, music and dance, film and television production -

are not a frill, but an essential part of living in this great province. We

would





- DOUBLE Alberta Foundation for the Arts funding from $26.5M to $53M

- Show leadership in fostering and sustaining First Nations' arts community -

$5M 

From Dr. David Swann



Yesterday in Lethbridge I released the Liberal plan to help seniors stay in

their homes, put money in their pockets, and keep them healthy and active.





Without access to quality home care and community supports many seniors turn to

hospital emergency rooms for treatment and end up staying in acute care beds

for extended periods of time.



The Liberal solution: Prevent hospitalizations and institutional care. Boost

funding for home care and community support initiatives by $75 million so more

seniors can live independently and stay in their own homes.



WE CARE ABOUT OUR ELDERLY CITIZENS



PLEASE DONATE NOW TO HELP

US PUT WORDS INTO ACTIONS



Hundreds of seniors are needlessly occupying acute care beds due to a lack of

long-term care spaces. This leads to substandard care for seniors and causes

delays in surgical, emergency and EMS wait times.



The solution: Alberta Liberals will invest $50 million to build and operate new

publicly funded and publicly delivered long-term care spaces.



The PCs eliminated the Education Property Tax Assistance Grant in 2013 -- a

program that once provided upwards of $20 million in tax relief to seniors.



The Liberal solution: Reinstate and increase the Education Property Tax

Assistance Grant to $25 million to put money back into the pockets of seniors.

Seniors need access to fitness facilities, but they are expensive. Many cannot

afford them.



Our solution: Alberta Liberals will invest $5 million in a seniors' fitness tax

credit to encourage seniors to be active and healthy.



Seniors have built this great province, and we are going to be there for them.

The Liberal plan will help couples stay together and receive the supports they

need to live their lives with dignity. When vulnerable seniors require

long-term care, our government has an obligation to provide high quality,

non-profit care. 



Many seniors cannot afford the taxes on their homes. Reinstating the Education

Property Tax Assistance Grant helps them pay the bills. Furthermore, the vast

majority of seniors live healthy, active lives, and a fitness tax credit will

help them continue to do just that.

Yesterday I announced a comprehensive K-12 education policy.



Our plan will build schools as community hubs, hire 1500 teachers and support

staff to reduce class sizes, and phase out schools fees to save parents money.

The problem: Alberta is a growing province with many young families living in

new suburbs; however, a severe shortage of new schools exists in these new

neighbourhoods.



The solution is simple: build the schools as community hubs with the input of

school boards and local municipalities where the children live. School boards

in Alberta have their priority lists, and an Alberta Liberal government would

commit to building the schools on the lists. 



The problem: Due to chronic underfunding of schools by the PC government,

schools are often forced to charge parents excessive fees that run from $300 to

$1,000 a year, including transportation costs. This is, in effect, a tax on

parents.  



The solution: With an Alberta Liberal government, school fees will be reduced

and eventually eliminated. The Alberta Liberals were the first party to demand

an end to school fees, and have repeatedly asked the PC government to ban

additional fees for almost a decade. The Alberta Liberals will invest $50

million this year to phase out school fees.



The problem: An additional 12,000 students are expected to enter Alberta's

school system this year. The Prentice government's budget calls for no new

teachers to be hired. The consequence of more students and no new teachers is

larger class sizes.



Solution: We would invest an extra $100 million to hire nearly 1500 teachers and

support staff to reduce class sizes. It is important not only to build new

schools, we must also staff them.



I believe that education is the best investment society can make, not a cost to

be cut. It's time to take the burden off families by increasing funding for

education in order to eliminate school fees.



The future of our province depends on supporting Alberta families and educating

our children.



There are seven days left in the election campaign.

 

You are a centrist like me and you despise both left and right , so you are anyone but PC, Wildrose and NDP all in one role. The Bad news is that some of the riding only have PC,WRP,NDP options. The good news is that there is a centrist option for you in many ridings. Let's get started!

Did I miss count?



Point is the Centrist vote need not park their vote with the left or right and can win big.

Where possible.



From Dr. David Swann



During Thursday night's leader's debate it was clear that only the Alberta

Liberals can offer Albertans the trustworthiness, substance and balance they

deserve. We are the strong centrist alternative this province needs. I was

proud to articulate this fact over the course of the debate and in my closing

remarks as follows:



"Elections are about choices. The choice shouldn't be just parties on the far

left or the far right. 



The choice shouldn't be a governing party that has become cynical, complacent

and too often corrupt. 



The choice is about trust!



Our plan is specifically designed for you and your family. 



We will protect jobs, educate our children, care for our sick and elderly and

build our cities and towns.



Alberta Liberals are not beholden to any special interest- just your interests.



The Alberta Liberal Party is the pragmatic and progressive alternative to this

regressive conservative government.



Alberta Liberals have always been there for you and we always will be." 



We can hold this government to account. Liberal MLAs have a strong track record

of bringing forward progressive legislation to improve the quality of life of

all Albertans.



end of Doctor Swann comments. If you want to look to the future vote Alberta Liberal.

Alberta Health Services is closing down a 20 bed unit at Alberta Hospital Edmonton ; this will impact 20 vulnerable patients with mental health issues. These patient call this unit their home. Please pray to God for Alberta Health not to clue this unit. These patient need their 24 hour care. Pass this message on to your community and to your church. Your prayers might make a difference.

13 seats to fill on council



Mayor, time for Stephen "Closed , Divisive, unfair" Mandel and

David "Ed Stelmach" Dorward to not be looked at.



Anyone with the "Ed Stelmach" , "Danielle Smith", "Jan Reimer" lables should

not be considered.



We need a Laurence Decore - ish mayor!



That leaves Daryl Bonar, Dave Dowling, Dan Dromarsky, Bob Ligertwood &

Andrew Lineker



Please get back to us. I might look at Andrew Lineker, but would like to meet the rest of you.



Ward 1 - I know Linda Sloan personally and endorse her.



Ward 2 - I unendorse Kim Krushell and Don Koziak.

That leaves Thomas Hinderks, Roxie Malone-Richards,

Ward 3 - I endorse Hatem Naboulsi



Ward 4 - unendorsements go to Dan Backs, Ed Gibbons and Scott Robb

Full endorement to Hafsa Goma .

Wasteful spending must stop





Edmonton Journal October 8, 2010







Re: "Mill Woods LRT possible by 2015, mayor says," The Journal, Oct. 6.



With our civic election less than two weeks away, there are a number of things voters in Edmonton need to be reminded of.



Within weeks of our last election, our council voted themselves a 23-per-cent pay increase, only a start to the incredible rate of largesse they have displayed in the last three years. Council has made great strides in making our city the zenith for irresponsible and wasteful spending.



We have made a bid to invite the world to visit our city, but we will be the laughing stock of the world when they see the state of our roadways.



Stephen Mandel says he will take money away from road construction to put toward the southeast LRT.



Is this really what citizens want? We don't have money to fix potholes or plow snow, but we fund every festival that makes an appeal.



We spend millions of dollars on "pie in the sky" ideas and edifices to the legacy of our council, but ignore the basic needs of our communities.



Mandel came into his mayoralty with a debt of zero dollars, and in six years has raised taxes by almost 40 per cent and has left us more than a billion dollars in debt.



Any responsible parent knows that you put the meat and potatoes on the table before you buy the dessert.



Mandel and his cohorts on council need to act more like responsible parents than banana republic tyrants.

Health cuts 'ideological choice,' crowd told



More than 500 people attend town hall session organized by Friends of Medicare



By Richard Warnica, Edmonton JournalOctober 14, 2009 6:28 AM







The Alberta government has made an "ideological choice" to blow a hole in the public health system -- a move that will raise costs and erode care, a medicare advocate warned an audience of hundreds at a town hall meeting Tuesday.



"We are trying to stop money from flowing out of the system," said David Eggen, executive director of Friends of Medicare.



"The government is completely swimming against the current."



The overflow crowd of more than 500 had organizers scrambling to lay out chairs as Eggen took to the podium.



Lining the walls on either side of the hall, people broke into applause as experts argued that planned health cuts are uninformed, ill-timed and unnecessary.



"Alberta has less excuse than anywhere in the country to cut back," said Dr. Micheal Rachlis, a family doctor turned health policy analyst who spoke after Eggen.



Rachlis called plans to delist services and shut beds a breach in the "spirit of the Canada Health Act," one that won't save any money in the long run.



If the government really wanted to reduce costs, he said, it would expand coverage to include more drug coverage and community care and reform the way doctors and other health professionals are paid, not allow more private delivery.



"I think the best argument against going private is Tony Soprano's," he said: "Fuggetaboutit--you don't need it."



Diana Gibson, research director at the University of Alberta's Parkland Institute, told the crowd that the government is trying to use public relations to make health-care problems disappear.



"It appears with a couple of press releases, we can magic away nursing shortages," she said.



The crowd appeared to be overwhelmingly supportive of the speakers' messages, with some saying they were alarmed by stories of coming cuts and closures.



"I'm concerned by what I'm hearing in the media, but I'm also concerned by what I'm seeing," said Bill Davidson, who runs a boarding house for patients who fly in for treatment from the north. "I'm seeing new places getting built, but not enough staff going into them."



Others were there to protest plans to reduce beds at Alberta Hospital, an acute psychiatric care facility.



"I think it's an outrage that they're closing that mental hospital," said Shirley Lewis.



"I just feel like it's going to spiral into an even worse situation," said Agata Nowinka, a fourth-year medical student who worked at Alberta Hospital this fall.



The government has said it won't close beds at Alberta Hospital until new spaces for treatment are opened in the community. But that doesn't mollify Nowinka.



Acute psychotic patients often need constant intensive care, she said. "That just can't happen in the community. It's like sending your car to be treated by a hairdresser."



Eggen said the government is using the economy as an excuse to do what it wants with the health-care system.



"It's a business choice and an ideological choice," he said. "You blow a hole in the middle of your public health system and private health care will enter."

Voter support plummets for PCs, Stelmach: poll

Last Updated: Tuesday, October 13, 2009 | 6:02 PM MT

CBC News



Political support for Alberta's Progressive Conservative party is dropping at a dramatic pace with a majority of respondents in a new opinion poll disapproving of Premier Ed Stelmach's leadership.



If an election were held today, the Tories would still lead with 30 per cent support, followed by the Wildrose Alliance with 22 per cent, according to the survey conducted by Return On Insight, a strategic research consulting company.



The Alberta Liberals would place third with 18 per cent support, followed by the Alberta NDP with nine per cent, and the Green Party of Alberta — which was deregistered as a provincial political party in July — with four per cent.



'Much of the disenchantment rests with the perceived lack of leadership by Premier Ed Stelmach.'—Bruce Cameron, pollster



About one in eight Albertans, or 12 per cent, said they were undecided, while five per cent mentioned other parties.



The survey of 802 Albertans was done between Oct. 2-7 by phone using a random dialing sample. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.



Among decided voters, the Tories received only 34 per cent support, compared to 64 per cent in January 2007, the poll found.



"The historic dominance of the PC party in Alberta is being threatened by a newly emerging three-way split in voter support between the PCs, the Liberals, who are holding onto their core voters, and the Wildrose Alliance, who are benefiting directly from the collapse in PC loyalty," said Bruce Cameron, the pollster behind Return On Insight.



Fifty-seven per cent — almost six in 10 Albertans — disapprove of Stelmach's performance. In comparison, Liberal Leader David Swann received a disapproval rating of 43 per cent.



Tories in freefall



"The party is in a virtual freefall in terms of public support and confidence," said Cameron, who said he is not a member of a provincial party.



"The difficult economic situation and the resulting budget deficits no doubt played a role in this decline, but much of the disenchantment rests with the perceived lack of leadership by Premier Ed Stelmach."



The Tories won 72 of 83 provincial seats in the March 2008 election, but the Wildrose Alliance captured Calgary-Glenmore — held by the Conservatives for 40 years — in a September byelection.



Paul Hinman, the Wildrose Alliance's only MLA, was sworn in on Wednesday.



Stelmach faces a mandatory party leadership review on Nov. 7, while the Wildrose Alliance chooses a new leader on Saturday.



The premier will be addressing Albertans about the recession in a televised speech on Wednesday evening, followed by a fundraising dinner for the party in Red Deer.

Liepert tweaks style





By Archie McLean, Edmonton JournalOctober 10, 2009 7:06 AM







Alberta health policy? Full steam ahead.



Minister Ron Liepert's personal style?Well, maybe that needs a little tweak. "I'm constantly being told by certain people that I need to put a more human face on things," Liepert said in an interview on Friday. "And if that's what's required, I'm quite prepared to try to do that."



Liepert has come under criticism this week as the face of health reform in the province. Former Tory cabinet minister Ernie Isley called for him to be fired, and a CBC poll suggested 54 per cent of Albertans believe he is doing a poor or very poor job.



But Liepert stressed that the government's health policies are not his alone, and said he stands by even the most controversial decisions taken since the last election, including the decision not to redevelop Alberta Hospital.



Alberta Health Services said in August they would not redevelop the hospital for the mentally ill and would close roughly one-third of the 400 acute-care beds. The news release was issued late Friday afternoon and was vague about future plans.



Stakeholders, including physicians at the hospital, were furious and said they weren't consulted. Dr. P.J. White, the physician originally promoting the plan, later expressed concern that AHS was "rushing at breakneck speed" to close the beds, which had jumped to 246.



After weeks of public outcry, the government struck a panel that will look at implementing the plan. Liepert said the problems were the result of poor communications.



"Hindsight is great. I think at the time what Alberta Health Services was doing was saying, 'Look, here's the three-year plan ... no patient is going to be moved until the appropriate care is in the community. The forensic unit is not going to be closed, there will still be an Alberta Hospital, those who need institutional treatment will still receive it at Alberta Hospital.' But those messages didn't get through."



Liepert is embarking on a six-week tour around the province to talk to people about the government's health-care reform. One notion he wants to dispel is that the changes involve more private health care.



"I don't know how much more clear I can be, how many more times I have to say it, we are clearly standing behind a publicly funded health-care system," he said.



But Liepert said that privately funded is different than privately delivered, which is already common in the province.



Liepert said he wants to talk with as many people as possible.



"When I have the opportunity to meet with groups, there's generally a much better understanding about what we're trying to do."

Wildrose Alliance vies for second place in Alberta: poll





By Trish Audette, edmontonjournal.com October 8, 2009 5:57 AM



EDMONTON — The Wildrose Alliance party could be Premier Ed Stelmach’s primary competition if an election was held today, according to a poll released Wednesday.



A telephone survey of 1,201 eligible voters conducted over the weekend shows the Alliance and Alberta Liberals in a “statistical dead heat,” vying for second place behind the governing Tories.



“You have to keep in mind the Conservatives still lead in all categories,” said political scientist Faron Ellis of the University of Lethbridge, who conducted the poll. “The barbarians are not at the gates of the legislature just yet.”



But increased media attention after former Alliance leader Paul Hinman captured Calgary-Glenmore in a byelection — and ahead of the fledgling party’s Oct. 17 leadership vote — has led to a new level of support for a party that “up until now (was) a very fringe element,” Ellis said.



Across the province, the poll suggests 38.4 per cent of Albertans would vote for Stelmach’s Tories today, compared to the 52.7 per cent who supported the party in the 2008 election.



Alliance support was at 21.5 per cent in the poll, up sharply from 6.8 per cent of the votes the party took in the last election.



The poll had the Liberals at 20.8 per cent, the NDP at 10.7 per cent and other parties at a total of 8.5 per cent. The Alberta Greens were deregistered this summer.



“The existing opposition parties don’t have a lot of good news in this poll, unless they can count on vote-splitting in Edmonton,” Ellis said.



In the capital — the only place where the Alliance falls well behind both the Liberals and NDP — the poll shows Tory support at 34.5 per cent, the Liberals at 27.5 per cent, the NDP at 17 per cent, the Wildrose Alliance at 13.1 per cent and other parties at a total of 11.1 per cent.



Edmonton’s numbers are markedly different from Calgary’s, where the Tories polled at 38.2 per cent, the Wildrose Alliance at 27 per cent, the Liberals at 20.7 per cent, and the NDP at 6.6 per cent. Other parties there polled at 7.7 per cent.



Across the province, the Alliance curried slightly more favour among men, middle-income voters, people 65 or older, and people who identify themselves as religious. University grads were least likely to favour the new party.



In analyzing the data, Ellis concluded that the governing Tories face “growing political unrest on their right flank.”



Still, much of the Alliance’s future success depends on whether the party can field candidates in ridings across the province, and the outcome of a leadership race between Mark Dyrholm and Danielle Smith.



“One of the problems this party’s going to have is, they’re going to go down the populist road,” said Ellis, who was a federal Reform party member. He said he currently holds a Wildrose Alliance membership for research purposes and works with the federal Conservative party.



“If you’re Conservative, you can look at these numbers and say, ‘Conservatives are ahead everywhere, good news,’ ” Ellis said.



Stelmach’s Tories have likely seen similar results in their own post-byelection polls, he said.



The Wildrose Alliance claims it now has 11,670 members, up from 1,800 in June.



Alliance president Jeff Callaway said Ellis’s results are not surprising, as the party has done its own internal polls in ridings across the province. “The results are consistent and in some instances even better,” he said. “I think once we get our leader crowned Oct. 17 in Edmonton, it will be one more step closer for us. It is exciting times for the party.”



Alberta Liberal Leader David Swann said it’s important to remember that polls are a snapshot and reflect what people say at the time they were surveyed.



“Of course, the focus of this time was the real upset in Calgary-Glenmore, where most of the Conservative vote went away from the Tories and to the Wildrose Alliance,” he said. “I think anyone who studies political science will also recognize that with a party without a leader, there is a strong tendency for people to give them the benefit of the doubt and to assume something about their policies which most people don’t know anything about yet. There is this strong honeymoon effect.”



Swann said he thinks the numbers will change once the Alliance has a leader and voters see where the party stands on issues such as deregulation, health care, environmental stewardship and human rights.



Tom Olsen, director of media relations for the premier’s office, said Stelmach “does not take for granted” his role as the premier of Alberta.



“To that end, he is committed to continue providing good government to the citizens of Alberta,” Olsen said in an e-mail. “The premier has also been known to say the poll that matters most is the poll that occurs on election day.”



The provincial poll, conducted by students at Lethbridge College and Athabasca University, has a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. The margin of error for the Edmonton data was five percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
