Tine for a slice of Schadenfreude Pie: Alberta’s health minister, who likes to cut health funding during an epidemic, is completely melting down now that the public is aware that he and his wife own a company that provides private health insurance. Melting down as in “screaming and crying in a neighbour’s driveway saying his neighbour should take down a Facebook post about his potential conflict of interest.”

All the sympathy I’d normally have for a dude under intense public pressure and scrutiny has gone to the same place as most of Alberta’s public mental health funding, ie. it’s been cut by government austerity measures.
