The Official Opposition appreciates that citizens are frustrated with Mr. Liepert, but please try to keep the comments family-friendly, everyone.

...the dis-Honourable Ron Liepert is a disgrace to public office. Every time he opens his mouth he says something stupid and oozes arrogance...and for what?...for failing Albertans at every opportunity?...for allowing taxpayers dollars to be spent on flying "experts" in from out of province?

Where exactly is the opposition in Alberta? This guy gives the Liberals so much rope they could hang him AND the whole cabinet with a well planned set of attack ads...

This is pathetic, this ahole has to be the first to go-

there are so many probs here in this province- I had to wait 6 months for an MRI- I couldn't get in because the WCB had bought up huge blocks of MRI time- always the oil business get what they want first, we are an annoyance, always whining- for food, benefits, housing, healthcare and everything else that we need.

@leppy111 Well said dude. This LOSER screwed up health care, now he's screwing up energy - and STILL stupid Ed appoints this airhead to cabinet.

@AlbertaLiberalCaucus - Sometimes that's the only way to get the message across- not namby pamby political correctness- If you're PO'd, you have to let them know unconditionally and in no uncertain terms. We are not "frustrated" we're god damned mad.

And I'm sick of listening to whining PC cabinet ministers like this JERK insisting that they deserve their 35% raise and more, while the rest of us peons should take a pay cut. Stick the 'whiners' comment up your ASS, Rotten Ron! This clown is the most incompetent and classless minister of health Alberta has ever had, and is the biggest argument for why there should be a minimum educational requirement for election to public office.

800 people a day are occupying acute care beds who should not... but this government is turning what few continuing care beds we have into assisted living spaces where the people get NO care unless they pay handsomely for it. How is that solving the problem? They just end up back in the acute care bed they vacated a month ago when they can't be cared for properly in their "home".

How dare he call me a whiner i spent months and years in the heathcare system beacause of a car accident caused by a drunk driver, the system SUCKS!!!! it can be so much better without all the red tape but to label people who are worried about our system as whiners is purely something a 6 year old would do
