Dear Average #Alberta #conservative voter,
Genuine question, in the interest of a common good:
Why are you choosing to ignore this "CorruptCare" scandal? Would you let it slide if it was the NDP in charge?
Truly. With all the evidence alluding to criminal corruption. Why choose to let it slide?

Health care should be focused on patients… not shareholders and UCP insiders. It’s clear that Adriana LaGrange and Danielle Smith care more about Corrupt Care than Public Health Care. Albertans deserve ethical competent government.
