Blamed for a heart attack? The ‘magical thinking’ of Danielle Smith and some conservatives

about cancer patients and how mainstream medicine deals with them. Smith agrees with her guest that medical practitioners don’t do enough to promote disease prevention and she says that when a person shows up at a hospital with Stage 4 cancer, they must consider “everything that built up before you got to Stage 4” because “that’s completely within your control.”

It’s a shift some worry could have implications if Smith and the UCP win Alberta’s election next month, and are given a mandate to enact significant changes to the provincial health-care system. It could also fly in the face of Smith’s stated goal of fixing that system.Long before entering politics, Smith promoted controversial positions related to health.

It’s part of a recent phenomenon on the political right, said Tim Caulfield, a health misinformation expert at the University of Alberta. Recently, Chelsae Petrovic, the UCP election candidate for Livingstone-Macleod, prefaced a comment that would land her in trouble by saying “this might be political suicide” and then went on to suggest that people who have heart attacks need to be more accountable.

Fake bs from Toronto Star who should be a high school newspaper not national one !

Magical thinking? Apparently to rabid socialists like Red Star & your master Trudeau, it's perfectly ok to invade someone's home & rob them of their most valuable resources. You're working hard for that $120,000 plus a WEEK Trudeau pays you from that $600 million tax $ 'subsidy'

Torontoredpatheticstar doing what it does best. Being pathetic.

“Critics see magical thinking as a form of magical thinking”…who the hell decided to write that?

Her days are numbered... much like Peepee's

Shes not SS so all are freaking out

She’s over the target if CBC and TorStar hate her. I’ve never seen so much hate for a premier. This will probably help her election bid.

How about the magical thinking of the law enforcement hating New DEMORATS ? KeepAlbertaRatFree

Here’s hoping Danielle stays safe and does not get any illness that might suggest she has neglected her health. Wonder how she would handle it?

Here’s an example of magical thinking by liberals - men can get pregnant.

So glad this bullshit story is paywalled. Goofs..
