A friendly reminder: Kenney's grassrootsguarantee.ca website has now been offline for over nine months. Back in May 2018, Kenney blatantly lied by calling the site's disappearance from the web "an IT issue". That's some terrible tech support you've got there, Jason! He has absolutely no credibility when it comes to "guarantees". |
Maybe so but here's some food for thought on the issue.

But it would be unwise to assume this is just political talk. Apart from the policy issues, Kenney has a deeply personal reason for reforming the system.
At an Edmonton news conference, he revealed publicly for the first time that his father died in 2010 after a 14-hour wait at Rockyview General Hospital’s emergency room without treatment.
Kenney said his dad sat in a waiting room chair for many hours without being seen, diagnosed or tested.
A relative arrived and managed to get him into a hallway bed. The next day, his father was admitted but suddenly died — “and the tests hadn’t even come back yet.”
Kenney said his family has never understood why the most expensive system in Canada could let that happen to a person. He refuses to be “shouted down by interest groups” that defend the status quo.
He says the system is good but far from perfect, and nobody should suffer in pain without help.
