Armed man enters WCB Edmonton
The Alberta WCB is just plain bad Karma. And you know what they say about bad Karma, what goes around comes around. Fortunately no one was injured in the standoff. Do I now believe that the Hellberta Government is going to take action and actually make the WCB compensate seriously injured workers? The answer is NO, I do not! We have been lied to before by TORY Corp. Never happen this is a pro-business government and why would a conservative government put and end to what amounts to a hidden TAX on Albertans and Canadians. When the WCB does not pay, the taxpayers across Canada end up paying for the health care and living expenses of seriously injured workers from Alberta. Why are the taxpayers on the hook for my care, and some of it is very expensive. The Alberta WCB obviously has no clue as to what the word "fiduciary" means. More importantly, they do not care either. Who gave these guys an Insurance License anyways. My doctor and all the non WCB health care workers I have encountered in this entire experience have been professional. The only people I have encountered who are 100% non professional, and have not treated me with respect and dignity is the Workers Compensation Board staff, right from day 1. I have been asking for a bed for over 3 1/2 years now. My doctor has prescribed it. If you worked for the WCB what would be the very first item you would buy for a person who fell and broke his back? Good guess, a bed. I sleep on a futon mattress on the floor. I know my government and their pals all sleep on cushy pocket coils. Thanks ED, good job. Now cancel my rent subsidy. Oops, too late Capital Region Housing already did that, who would want to help a disabled person? How is this ending homelessness in Alberta? We now know that Conservative MLA's are impotent against the WCB Alberta, or are they? They are probably given a TORY script. Finally, will seriously injured workers across Canada every get to appear before the Standing Committee on Human Rights, not likely. The (JUST) committee will quickly sweep past us, remember this is a conservative government. Human rights for Canadians, what are you out of your mind. It is all here in my Blog, including live links to my documents, and a good portion of my documents at the bottom of my blog page.

I was surprised while on the twitter feed to see people were worried it was you. I was even more surprised when people thought it was a relative of mine....I used to write about WCB but can't anymore. Too hard.
ReplyDeleteMy comments as an injured worker in Ontario are simple: The WSIB is very cruel and is there to work against the worker. I have waited for almost 10 ywars now for a Tribunal decision and so far, none. The WSIB washed their hands of our case due to an abindance of clear evidence and mopre than 20 doctors and professionals have supported our case. We have still been denied and our families have suffered as a result. I have tremendous proof of WSIB wrong-doings in our case, but, who will ever listen to us? I hope one day that someone will so we could get on with our lives.
ReplyDeleteThe government announced it was going to get tough on white collar crime. Well here is their chance to make good on their promise. On Friday there was a poor fellow crying on the steps of the courthouse. This is what our government advocates, torturing our own people? If the federal government cannot see the stimulus potential in cracking the WCB's across this nation wide open, then they are to dumb to rule. And as a bonus, it does not cost taxpayers a cent. As a matter of fact it could be just the kind of juice injection that the RCMP need to kick start their war on white collar criminals. We are about to see what side their bread is buttered on!!
