Forsyth has carved up Mandel on health care a few times already. Hopefully she keeps that up as well

This reminds me of the earlier times where the pc's had a massive majority with a tiny opposition-- for the first time, and the reports were often how, to try to show democracy was working, the pc's basically introduced the concept of having their own government members question their cabinet members in public, even though they first met in caucus in private.
This was novel at the time, and if I were to dig hard enough I think I could find the references because it was a big deal at the time, but it is particular to politics in Alberta.
It was then, and is now, a complete sham. Its the equivalent of having a police officer investigate his partner in a cop shooting a member of the public, but letting them meet beforehand to discuss the nuances.
You've posted long enough here, and intelligently, that I don't think you even believe your own post.
