🇨🇦 300 Stranded on Alberta Highway: Nobody in Charge

Hundreds trapped overnight on Highway 63 in a spring blizzard. Infants without resources. Medical emergencies ignored. RCMP hung up on callers. Provincial government blames severity, not incompetence. Fort McMurray residents stranded for 24 hours while bureaucrats reviewed protocols. This is what happens when institutions are gutted by diversity hiring, bloated middle management, and zero accountability. Emergency response used to mean action, now it means a spokesperson statement about reviewing contractor performance.

These are oil patch workers and northern families who know winter driving. They don't need lectures about storm severity from Edmonton desk jockeys. They needed plows, fuel trucks, and communication. Instead they got dial tones and excuses. When basic infrastructure fails this badly, ask what your tax dollars are actually funding. Spoiler: not competence.
