Unsurprisingly, I note the distinct absence of Danielle Smith, Doug Ford and Scott Moe. The three Premiers most committed to the total destruction of public healthcare.

The town of Jasper’s Mayor was constantly begging for help from The UCP government, and he was told , he was exaggerating and didn’t know what he was talking about. The result, one of the most failed provincial government acts in Canadian History. They completely failed Jasper.
