A better economy means a better future for all Albertans

I’m all for a fair fight. If you have an opinion, state it clearly and honestly in proper context.

The prominent tip of the spear campaign by the Alberta NDP quotes 17 words spoken by Danielle Smith months ago in a one-on-one interview discussing health spending accounts.

 The NDP must have said, “now we’ve got her” because during the interview, Smith questioned whether or not a regular checkup to your doctor should be covered  100 per cent by AHC or whether some of it could be covered by a health spending account. 17 words were grabbed from that conversation by the NDP and used  as a campaign spear by the NDP to strike fear into the hearts of all Albertans.

“Danielle Smith wants you to pay out of pocket for your healthcare.  (oh noooooo! . . .my words). 

There’s no basis in truth to the assumptions made by this party to the point where it’s a lie. Taken out of context, any excerpts from a lengthy and cogent discussion can create deception.

 How short Albertans’ memories are when Notley reigned for four years and ran this province into debt and ran this province’s economic engines into the ground. 

 It seems to me their electoral campaign is deception as in, “Look here what they are saying, you don’t want that.” Well, I don’t want them. 

A better economy is a better future for all Albertans.
