THREAD: Let's be clear on what happened. A Minister of the Crown went to the home of a doctor to yell, scream, insult, berate, and intimidate him. A private citizen. In front of his wife… his children… and his neighbours.
This is unacceptable. #ableg

We are in the middle of a pressing public health emergency. Albertans are nervous. Many are losing their jobs or closing their businesses. Some have been given the scariest diagnosis they’ve ever received… and some are fighting for their lives in the ICU. #ableg
We need steady leadership focused solely on our response to the coronavirus pandemic and the health of Albertans.
Instead, the Health Minister is going to the home of private citizens at night and publicly threatening them. #ableg

Instead, the Health Minister is emailing Albertans who disagree with him and threatening to send protective services after them.
That is not how a Minister of the Crown serves the public.
That is NOT what we expect from the Minister in charge of a public health crisis. #ableg

No Albertan deserves to be threatened at their homes in front of their families by anyone, let alone a government MLA and the Minister overseeing their profession.
He cannot continue. #ableg

The Premier must immediately remove Tyler Shandro from his post and appoint another member of his caucus as Minister of Health. Today.
This is not partisanship. This is about making sure Albertans can have confidence in the Minister in charge of a pandemic.
He must go. #ableg
