1... #IdentifyYourself Steve has noted that I am a doctor, and has declared me a lobbyist for it. I want people to think about that. First, lets identify the key individuals. There is me, a family doctor in Red Deer who only started...2

2...being “politically aware” after Darth Shady declared his and the Emperor’s plan for destruction and privatization of Albertans’ healthcare system in November. I wrote Shady a letter which he never responded to, but then again it was 11 pages long...3
3...I only started being “publicly vocal” after Shady used ministerial overreach to gain my confidential cell # and call me at home in the middle of the night. And, I do this side gig of calling out the govt because my patients need someone fighting for their healthcare...4
4...Now, the other individual in this immediate conflict is @SteveBuick2, UCP-paid “issues manager” who’s job it is to tweet all day (about $24/tweet by the way). Now, Steve, in his official capacity as a UCP tweet manager, has labelled me a “lobbyist”...5
5...You know in this context that it is used as a derogatory term. Let analyze that shall we? Lobbyist means “someone who takes part in organized attempts to influence legislators”...6
6...The derogative meaning here is “someone who is misusing influence to further an illegitimate cause”. There is the crux. What is my cause? Preserving the quality and access of Albertans to world class healthcare. Now, during a pandemic no less...7
7...So, a UCP official has declared an Albertan doctor of partisan politics and lobbyism when he has ramped up his fight for Albertan’s healthcare. The UCP has become so partisanly ideological that they...8
8...have identified the preservation of Albertan’s healthcare (during a pandemic) to be illegitimate and worthy of scorn and backlash. That is how unworthy all of you Albertans are. Your access to quality healthcare is now partisan and illegitimate...9
9...More than ever, they have just proven to you how much you Albertans need to remove them from power. This level of open contempt for the public cannot be allowed to settle into the norm. Albertans, write your MLAs and tell them to put their house in order...10
10...or the public will do it for them. No UCP MLA should be allowed to feel comfortable to sit in their offices, taking their marching orders from Kenney. Any MLA who wants to keep their seat needs to go into career damage control...11
11...and reach out to their constituents and find out what they must do to appease the public. If your MLA is not knocking on doors and asking you how they can make this better, then you need to go to them to TELL them what their real marching orders are...12
12...and if you are a UCP MLA reading this, you need to heed this. I will whip these people into a fury and you will either be with the people, or you will be on the wrong side. URBAN MLAs/RURAL MLAs, prove your duty to your people, not your subservience to your Tyrant.
