Heartbreaking” stories drive Albertans to Official Opposition website
www.liepertmustgo.ca gets more response than Ask Premier Ed

Edmonton �" http://www.liepertmustgo.ca has received nearly 500 submissions from Albertans deeply concerned by what Ron Liepert has done to the health care system.


“Some of the stories we’re receiving are heartbreaking,” Taft says. “People are suffering immense personal tragedies and they’re looking for a place to share them, and to move the Premier to take action. So far they seem to feel that our website is a better alternative than Ask Premier Ed.”

Taft says that the stories he’s reviewed have moved him profoundly, making him feel deep compassion for affected patients and admiration for the health care professionals struggling to do their jobs under increasingly difficult conditions.

“Health care is the number one issue in Alberta right now, and Albertans are furious at Health Minister Ron Liepert for messing up a system Albertans treasure,” Taft continues. “Health care professionals, patients and family members have flocked to the site to share their stories, and the vast majority of people who have contacted us agree that Liepert must go.”

Given the circumstances, Taft is not surprised that only 400 people have responded to Ask Premier Ed compared to the nearly 500 and counting who have left comments at http://www.liepertmustgo.ca.
