Engaged citizens need to take it seriously when UCP leaders start talking about mass purges in health care and education. #ableg #abpoli #abhealth #abed @AHS_media

No one has a clue in a carload if a list of care providers used by AHS was ever vetted, or who created it.

@Storyspell @richardzussman And yet you went along just fine with the idea that unlicensed people were not allowed to operate a motor vehicle, despite their constitutionally guaranteed mobility rights. Because it’s a reasonable limit prescribed by law that can be justified in a free and democratic society.

@AdrianaLaGrange The author of this article represents a special interest group that will benefit from this harmful legislation. It is highly misleading, makes wild claims without evidence and, at times, is simply ridiculous. What, pray, is “Albertan culture”?

@LiciaCorbella @TabathaSouthey I am a Western Canadian, born and raised. It is simply preposterous to call this Tweet or its author bigoted against people like me. I have met some of "these folk" too and, sad to say, white supremacists is exactly what some of them are.
