So Danielle Smith wants to take over policing in Alberta because she needs the police to get to Albertans on time...
But she can't even manage making sure that POLICE get an AMBULANCE on time with the EMS service she already runs?!?
This is horrifying.

Please read this commentary from the Editor of the LETHBRIDGE HERALD. Especially I hope Ryan Tanner, "Mike" and my Lethbridge East MLA, Nathan Neudorf, read the article and say something. Hopefully at least one of these people will think an iota about democracy, transparency & accountability.
