Last night, Bruce McAllister, the voice of this government, suggested a young student be beaten after daring to ask about education funding and the teachers strike. This is disgusting behaviour and a tweeted apology is not enough. This is not a one-off — all summer he’s been silencing, belittling, and insulting Albertans he disagrees with. Danielle Smith must make things right with the young student, starting with an apology of her own, and she needs to fire her second most senior official for his reprehensible conduct and relieve tax payers of his cushy $825K contract. Alberta’s New Democrats have also been hosting large town halls this summer. We never cut off the microphone, and we welcomed everyone because we genuinely want to hear from citizens. That’s what governments do.

And here's the thing. The UCP has staked its moral high ground on doing what's in the best interest of Alberta children during teachers' talks. Bruce McAllister saying they deserved to be spanked for expressing an opinion kinda sorta undercuts that narrative.

Thank you Costa Rican firefighters helping to fight our wildfires in Canada!🇨🇦🙏
