Why yes, I am extremely cynical. But hey, morons voted for this, so yay us.

Apparently they are listing naturopaths to take up the slack.

Hospitals are understaffed so let’s let nurses go.

What’s next? Teachers? Have to love this government.

I won't be seeing a naturopath when I need medical attention, I will seek the services of a real doctor. However, I'm totally okay if all UCP party members go see naturopaths, have at 'er. Good luck too!

[Captain Otto]

UCP voters should be required to see a naturopath before clogging up the real medical system.

What a world we live in.

Oh look, she's doing exactly what she said she would do. Big ####ing surprise.



Thanks, #######s. That means you, UCP voters, if there was any confusion.

Also, that dude in the picture with Lagrange looks like the slimiest seller of snake oil I ever did see.

The fact you are angry about it probably makes them think it's a win.

Hopefully they remember their vote when they or their loved one is dying in a hospital hallway because the naturopath they were forced to see poisoned them. Ah well, the cancer was their fault, anyway.

Don't knock lavender extract, butthole tanning and Chakra stones until you've tried it.

I have a sister-in-law who travels three hours to Calgary to see a naturopath her friend uses. The naturopath has her eliminating several foods from her diet but the woman is as sick as ever. She won’t listen to reason and isn’t the smartest person.

[Bring_Back_Shantz]

What's the difference between a naturopath and a doctor?

Doctors don't pretend to be naturopaths.

Residents to vote on bylaw that would force Alberta town to remove its Pride crosswalk
Westlock could be 1st town in province to lose rainbow crossing, acting mayor says

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmon...ylaw-1.7049801

Town council voted unanimously Nov. 27 to hold a municipal plebiscite on a proposed "crosswalk and flagpole" bylaw which would ban crosswalks or flags that support "political, social, or religious movements or commercial entities."

In May, Westlock councillors voted unanimously to paint the town's first rainbow crosswalk on 106th Street, between town hall and the Royal Canadian Legion. The crosswalk was painted June 27.

Stephanie Bakker, who later launched the door-to-door petition for a bylaw, "I just wanted to have my say," Bakker said in an interview Saturday.
Bakker said neutrality, especially within government, is important for everyone to "get along."

She's full of crap. we all know what she's really saying.

Residents who signed the petition aren't against anybody (lol right)and are just asking the town to remain politically neutral, she said.

But Jamaly, the acting mayor, said he believes the town needs to govern from a place that "represents and promotes" safety and inclusion.
"Our response has continued to be that what is equal isn't always fair," he said.

The rainbow crosswalk is the only piece of town infrastructure that would violate the proposed bylaw, he said. If the bylaw passes, the town would be required to remove it.

"It is a direct response to the rainbow crosswalk," he said. "These two matters are not isolated; they are connected."

Councillors said Bakker's petition targets a minority group.

"In my opinion, this is lipstick on bigotry," Coun. Laura Morie said at the Nov. 27 meeting.

Man - the right talks about "virtue signalling". Meanwhile look at all the pins on Lagrange's lapel and all the icons on her wardrobe.

They should’ve called their bluff and made the plebiscite about removing all political, religious, cultural, etc. symbols from any government property.

Bet these same people would raise a stink if someone tried to ban nativity scenes.

Teachers will be next term, when they move to fully privatize education.

You can discern what those are? I can make sense of them, but I guess if you already know what they are it's easier.

Wait, Is that all at the same time or different treatments... who cares... I'm in
