The UCP argues recall is being weaponized against policy, not misconduct.
By that logic, the Gondek recall was also weaponized, as it was explicitly against her policies.
The UCP's reaction to the weaponized recall on Gondek?
To make recall easier.

“My own experience prescribing puberty blockers has demonstrated enormous psycho-social benefits in youth who feel a quiet desperation watching their bodies change in ways they can’t control […] A puberty blocker provides them with a pause […] with no effects on fertility, and is 100% reversible.”
Opinion: As a physician, I see how gender-affirming care benefits youth
Alberta’s moves to restrict treatment are based in ignorance and misinformation

Of note: UCP 2023 campaign platform included 217 promises.
The terms 'parental rights', 'pronoun', 'consent', 'sexual education' and 'gender identity' appear nowhere in those pledges.
Below is the only transgender reference found in the campaign platform. #yeg #yyc #ableg

It’s hard to even know where to begin with this. Professor Falk is in his 90s and one of the world’s most prominent international legal scholars. It beggars belief that he could even remotely be considered a threat to Canada.
Falk, who has investigated Israeli abuses, says questioning reflects push to silence truth of Israel's war on Gaza.

Information for Albertans who want COVID shots but can’t get them here:
BC will offer shots to out-of-province patients starting Dec 1. Ontario already does. I got a shot at a Toronto Shopper’s last week w/o an appointment.
If you’re traveling for the holidays, drop by a pharmacist for a jab.
