Premier puts life of Albertans in danger

Dear Premier John Horgan:

Thank you for putting a target on the backs of my children and grandchildren due to your reckless comment on Alberta licence plates (Herald, Page A4, July 28).

I have a son and grandchildren who live in Maple Ridge. Three weeks out of the month, he works in Alberta in the gas business so you and your looney friends on the left can have affordable natural gas and his tax payments.

He has a truck with 2,000 pounds of equipment and Alberta plates that he drives home to see his children he supports, how is he supposed to take transit? If he visits me in Summerland, there is no transit.

You have placed a target on him for driving and if the girls are with him, you have a target on their backs.

Why such a reckless statement? You live in your ivory tower in Victoria supported by your union friends who you are paying off big time with your stunningly bad decisions and have done nothing during the pandemic.

You hide behind the skirt of Dr. Bonnie Henry and then make diktats and pontificate when you feel like it so that your inner circle feels good about itself.

If his truck is harmed if the girls are in it when some crazed member of your crazy band of followers attacks it. then I hold you personally responsible.

My other son and family live in Grande Prairie, and you have made them feel

unwelcome to visit me at my home in Summerland. If I visit them, you have made me and my B.C. licence plate a target.

Why?

Check the Vancouver International Airport website. You and your friend, the prime minister, are still allowing flights in from Asia ... daily. You allow flights from Europe daily. You allow flights from the U.S. and the rest of Canada.

Why do you pick on those of us with family in both provinces? The recent outbreak in Kelowna came not from Alberta, but Vancouver.

As a small businessperson, you have done nothing for me and the thousands of other businesses. As someone who sells into other provinces, you have said it’s OK for them to attack me and my business.

Please apologize and redo your statement. Words have consequences, and in this case, you have put my children and grandchildren at risk
