Just sent an email to premieres office regarding this. A friend who used to work in federal politics said it’s the emails and phone calls that get attention. They monitor daily to see what issues are getting pushback. I’d start there.

Sadly I don't think we can count on conservative voters to oppose their party on this, and the party doesn't care what everyone else thinks. Public protest might need to be loud, disruptive and accompanied by legal action

UCP will do what they want. There's not enough people willing to push back. I was born here, but I'm turning 60, and with no health care, etc. It's too much. Sadly, will probably leave to a better part of Canada. Too many crazies here now.
