It's a very risky position to take in Canada, but I understand the point she was making.Danielle Smith to Fraser Institute: "You know, I wonder if an error was made in choosing physician services to be under that umbrella [publicly funded healthcare], because not every time you go to the doctor is it essential".
A really refreshing read that I think outlines what a lot of non-fanatical conservative voters have been feeling with Smith as leader. This quote especially:"...Ken Boessenkool is the ultimate insider. Some in Smith’s own government and caucus share his views.
"They just wish he’d shut up during the election campaign."
That is a pretty concise summary of what is wrong with too many politicians and too many of their respective parties.
Either principles and core beliefs matter or they don't.
If they matter, they matter particularly during an election campaign which is where they should be presented and debated and decided upon by the electorate. On the other hand, if they don't matter during an election campaign, then they don't exist and those without open principles and core beliefs don't deserve our votes.
Kudos to Ken Boessenkool and shame on those who think he should shut up.

Make sense when you see so many of the UCP candidates who are choosing not be re-elected going into this election. Definitely a party not on the same page.Boessenkool is smart, articulate, experienced and certainly conservative. I have listened to him speak on Alberta politics on several occasions.
I get there is party loyalty especially during an election, so dissent is often suppressed, but I suspect many more in the party are privately thinking or quietly muttering to each other what Boessenkool is publicly saying.
I think it is a mistake to try sell a bunch of populist clap trap as conservative, plus there is a long history of bad judgement that seems to be continuing here. I suppose it will depend on the outcome of the election, which may be close, but I wouldn't be surprised if Boossenkool will soon be vindicated.
