Name ONE THING the UCP has done that will improve the lives of Albertans.

Whether it's Tylenol causing autism or puberty blockers leading to permanent sterilization, populist leaders like Trump and Smith have zero qualms about spreading medical disinformation.

The lack of humility is only surpassed by the lack of compassion for those in need of proven treatments.
