Well personally, I'd criticize someone who posted Rebel Media just the same.

This anger didn't start with Bill 6. It started the second the NDP won the election. The WRP didn't strike the match, but they certainly threw gasoline into the flickering flames.
This I am more willing to agree with.

And yes, many people were going to be upset that people elected a far-left party with a history of antagonistic policies toward Alberta. But in terms of Bill 6 in particular, I wouldn't even say Wildrose threw gasoline on. If they did, it had only a fractional impact. That controversy got huge on its own. Part of that was unreasonable fear of adding WCB itself. Part of it because Notley utterly screwed up her own message.
