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.

I am heartbroken by the loss of Dr. Darren Markland, an outstanding physician and friend to so many of us. His compassion, his fierce advocacy for a better health care system, and his generosity of spirit left a lasting impact on countless lives.

Invest Alberta is a crown corporation created by the UCP.
It reports directly to Danielle Smith & is funded by taxpayers.
How much taxpayers cash did they spend on food ALONE during their retreat last year?
$10,949.83
And that's literally not even the half of the event cost.
