This must absolutely be corrected. The idea that "this whole thing started with a lunatic making false claims on Twitter." This is a reference to @karliwithakay's tweet last week, which @shandro and @jkenney used to incite a poor-us pile-on. 1/? #ableg

Read @karliwithakay's tweet for yourself. This is a citizen expressing concern about potential conflict of interest, which is her right—an obligation, even. But UCP types have repeatedly portrayed dissident women as unhinged, crazy, etc. A pattern. #ableg

Shandro has noted that Vital Partners is a brokerage, rather than a health insurance corporation. Okay, fair. But the tweet was not offside and certainly not "lunatic." Frankly we don't know right now how the Shandros will or won't benefit from the minister's decisions. #ableg

Here is @shandro 's incendiary thread ("malicious attack," etc) if you missed it. And I don't say that to diminish actual threats his family received. But pinning these threats on @karliwithakay was egregious and irresponsible in the extreme. #ableg

Here was @jkenney cunningly adding to the pile on, as he does. He and his people know exactly what they're doing. It's how he got to be premier in the first place, remember. Deceit and performative obtuseness.

In retrospect I shoulda made this an article. And still might. Anyway you can consider this some bonus @sprawlcalgary content.
