While this issue is surrounded with sensitivity. I don't see how the WRP will be better for LTC, they have no plan for funding but make all the promises they can. Of course I would love to have a LTC facility downtown or anywhere in Fort McMurray but I don't see that getting done with the WR's lack of a budget and plan to not raise any taxes.

I didn't see this until late last night and debated on the value of continuing it but in the end decided I value the friendship of the Kirschners far to much to stay silent.
It's disappointing that the anonymity of the internet creates a platform for such individuals who clearly have not taken the time or effort to recognize the integrity and contributions of the Kirschners. Timberlea Type crossed a line and I'd like to apologize on behalf of the rest of us who recognize the the lifetime of involvement and dedication you've given our community.
On another note - congratulations to the Barons for an amazing performance last night. What a game!

The Provincial Conservative government as well as their Wildrose Party cousin (who in Fort McMurray are closely affiliated with the Federal Conservative Part of Canada) shoulder differing degrees of blame for the Long-term Care mess in Fort McMurray. The only party not tainted is the Alberta's NDP party led by Rachel Notley. On May 5 vote for the only party you can trust to do what's right for Albertans and bring Long-term Care to our region, vote for a better Alberta, vote NDP.

Timberlea Type, stop being ignorant to a family who have done so much for our city. Rather than attempting to belittle them, you should be praising them for their commitment to our community.

In other words, grow up!

Dave Kirschner was virtually the only Municipal Councillor to take a stand against the corrupt administration practices in the Municipality a short time ago - He gained a lot of credibility through that action, and therefore his support of the WR party also has extra credibility in my estimation.

You are on a fixed income Iris? That is a laugh!!! You and your family own half of downtown with the Jeans owning the other half. Digging for a dollar you are not.

Dave & I worked hard at trucking and are thankful for the money we earned by hard work. Other people in long term care are not so blessed and rely on those of us who can speak out , to do so. The people in long term care are extremely vulnerable and most are on fixed incomes with no earning capacity. I will always champion for those less fortunate. I have never relied on political favours Or lacked the courage to put my name on
my comments.

Nothing but sour grapes Iris. If you little friend Miss McKinnon had won the riding nomination in Wood Buffalo instead of Mike Allen you would be trumpeting the government. You are out, good to hear and please don't let the door hit you on the way out.

This sort of personal attack doesn't represent the PC Party in a good light, if that is what you are trying to do.

I am glad there are hard working nameless people like you still working in the PC Party & as a past president it can be demanding. Unlike you , Tracy & I both have courage to put our names out there and stand by our actions and words. If Tracy had won she would have been an awesome PC Candidate in your riding but the Conklin riding would still have a WildRose MLA in Brian Jean. My home is still in Conklin. Since Tracy did not win I will not be put to the test. Enjoy living in the city we helped build. When you walk in the Foodbank think of Dave. Or into the homeless shelter & think of me. Dave was also instrumental in getting the land & building for our newly opened Recovery Center. In fact take a picture for Dave as he will never see the fruits of his labours there. We rolled up our sleeves and helped fill the gaps and were blessed to work with so many good hearted selfless people like Tracy. Bless your day as you have reminded me of the blessings we have experienced by giving back to our community in deed and time. Have a good one.
