Talk:Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta

message: I'm new to Wikipedia so I might not be using proper format in this discussion page.  Anyhow, I deleted these two sentences from the article: "In actual fact, however, Alberta is not among the provinces that run a private system parallel to the publicly-funded one. Provinces that do so include Saskatchewan and Québec."  As an Ontario resident, I can tell you that it is very easy to walk into a private clinic and pay for essential medical services.  In fact, I recently watched a CBC documentary on "The Passionate Eye" that revealed the reality of a private, for-profit healthcare tier in Canada.  It's easy to believe otherwise because for-profit clinics are very controversial and hence low-profile; nonetheless, they definitely exist in virtually all provinces, providing essential medical services to those fed-up with Medicare waiting times.  Even federal political leaders, such as Jack Layton, have acknowledged the presence of private, for-profit healthcare clinics throughout Canada.  Jack Layton in particular wants to ensure that public funds are not used to subsidise these private clinics.  Currently, private clinics operating outside Medicare are not banned under Canadian law; consequently, a for-profit healthcare market has developed across the entire nation.  I just raised the factual accuracy flag so people will read this and not revert the article to its former state. 69.198.222.59 04:50, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

message: The article claims, without citation, that the PC's are center-right. However,  claims that they are moving to the far right. Does anyone have a valid citation indicating the party is center-right? If not, I'll make a change in a few days, though I'd be more than a bit surprised if no citation could be found. --Yamla (talk) 12:47, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

message: IP address ranges reversing to Egypt keep on vandalising the article. Despite being repeatedly told that Wikipedia requires information be verifiable, they are changing Milt Harradence's "reign" from 1962-1964, to 1962-1965. There's a reliable citation for the 1964 date, though it may certainly be incorrect. There's a comment reminding editors to provide a citation for the 1965 date, if they wish to change it. If this continues, I'll semi-protect the page, as blocking the IP addresses isn't working. To be very clear, if the 1965 date is correct, it's very appropriate to make the change. But the change must be cited. --Yamla (talk) 17:12, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

message: why does this party have a different color to all other PCs Braganza (talk) 08:23, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Note that this party no longer exists. I'm not at all convinced there's any uniformity in colours across the various progressive conservative parties in Canada. Do you have evidence to the contrary? --Yamla (talk) 12:01, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

text: It's unclear why you are asking here. Why not ask there? In any case, I have no idea why the colours are different. Was it a party thing or just a Wikipedia thing? That's entirely unclear to me. --Yamla (talk) 13:04, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
