I also want to know the truth about bullying in health care but have doubts we will see a serious investigation.

I'm also tired of the PC hypocrisy. How can you tell public sector workers to tighten thier belts as to pay raises when you as a party vote yourselves 30% pay raises
If you think Albertans thought that the no-meet committees and the MLA pay are the primary challenges facing them over the coming years, hopefully this election has proven how out of touch that tought really was.

I believe Albertans recognized that Education and Healthcare are issues worth fighting for, not "conscience rights". When Redford announced the initiative to open 140 new family care centres, a program that is proven in other provinces to lessen the load on frontline doctors and ER's, the first thing that Dave Rutherford said on 630 CHED was "where are we going to find the patients to fill them?". I shook my head and realized how out of touch right wing Alberta is with the Progressive wave sweeping the province.
