And late yesterday the CIO for AHS along with 19 others was booted. She was good and made our Digital health system the envy of Canada and quite a few other countries.
The dismantling of AHS is reminiscent of DOGE in the states. Absolutely directionless, hopelessly uninformed, politically-motivated firings that will immediately lower service quality and government capability.

AHS certainly needed a rework, but every change is making it worse.

Who the hell is left to run or board for AHS? They’ve all been fired or forced to quit…..Ol’ Smitty’s grand scheme to dismantle it.

The primary difference is that DOGE is in the hands of that billionaire buffoon known as Elon Musk whereas the dismantling of AHS is likely being done by some middle management bureaucrat.
 
I saw last night that AHS payouts for those fired was somewhere around 16mill

And I would love to know which Canadian official said to the Trump group that AB and Sask would be willing to become 51st.
 
At this point, if you're a person of talent and skill, why in the hell would you want to be a top ranking public servant? Every single time there's a political decision that goes bust or you want a scapegoat, you just blame a bureaucrat for it and the public eats it up because "bureaucrat bad". At this rate we're going to be bleeding top rate talent to the private sector which offers better pay, and I don't blame them at all. Wage freezes, public scrutiny and constantly being thrown under the bus for doing your job? A job where your directives and actions are coming directly from elected officials? I don't think people realize that bureaucrats don't have as much autonomy as people would think when it comes to implementing public policy on a provincial level.

I know that the provincial bureaucracy has always had issues attracting skilled managerial/higher talent due to the pay differential when it comes to working for the public service and it's been a challenge to get that in other government services, but shit like this isn't helping at all.
