Alison Redford campaigned on a promise to conduct a judicial inquiry into political coercesion in the health care system. Now it seems she's having second thoughts. Instead she said she's going to beef up the Health Council could investigate as well as full inquiry would do.
The opposition is not happy.. ND leader Brian Mason said,
“In no way can you make the assertion that the health quality council will ever have the independence it needs in order to get to the bottom of this, and it should get to the bottom of this,” said NDP Leader Brian Mason, suggesting the council is too linked with top health officials
Wildrose leader Danielle Smith says this represents a broken promise.
Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith said Redford’s comments represent a broken promise. She said even a beefed up health quality council likely won’t be enough to convince health “I think they want to see Ms. Redford keep her promise for an independent judicial inquiry, to provide that safe environment for them to come forward knowing they’re not going to be bullied or punished for it.”professionals to come forward to testify about episodes of alleged coercion.
Newly minted Liberal leader Raj Sherman also weighed in,
“She has flip-flopped, she is ducking and hiding. Albertans need answers. Unless somebody is held accountable and ample evidence is brought forward, we’re not going to get to the truth.”Not even a month since her election as leader, she's flipped flopped on holding a fall session of the legislature, transmission lines, now waffling on the judicial inquiry. What's next? How can we trust her?
She was going to represent change. Do things differently. It looks like the same old,same old to me!
Oh, she has kept her promise re change. She was referring to her mind, and how she would change it at every opportunity. sarc off.
ReplyDeleteGee, I thought while she was campaigning that she was DETERMINED to bring in this judicial inquiry. That she thought the whole thing through in her mind, had all the i's dotted and the t's crossed.
ReplyDeleteSo what happened ? Was she lying all the time ? Maybe she didn't consider every aspect, and so is therefore incompetent. Maybe this "strong" woman caved in to the demands of her caucus, meaning she is weak.
So take your pick. Is she untrustworthy, duplicitous, incompetent, weak, or all of the above ?
It's just more of the same from these PC clowns. Stelmach absolutely infuriated me when he cancelled our Senate elections--something that many true, principled conservatives have been pushing for years.
It's all just lip service--there's no principles, no ideology, no way of knowing what they will actually DO once in power.

ReplyDeleteThat's something else Alison has committed to. She said she was going to hold senate elections. Will she backtrack on that too? Don't be surprised if she does.
If they have "Progressive" stamped on their foreheads, don't vote for them.

If Alison hadn't made a deal with the teachers' union to get extra votes, the outlook on her might be different.
