You want these types to be in charge of your province ?. . . .

   David Dorward, UCP candidate for Edmonton-Gold Bar   
      
   A UCP-affiliated website shared a statement from Dorward following up on   
   comments he made suggesting that gender-inclusive bathroom policies allow   
   adult men to wander into women’s locker rooms. The former PC cabinet   
   minister said he had shared a news    
   story on Facebook just over three years ago about a man entering a women’s   
   locker room to test new Washington state rules allowing people to choose a   
   bathroom based on the gender they identify with. “I worried at the time that   
   new gender identity    
   guidelines for Alberta schools could put students in our province at risk,â€�   
   Dorward said in his statement. “While I was not alone in sharing this belief   
   at the time, I am relieved that such fears have not been validated in the   
   following three years.†

   Karri Flatla, UCP candidate for Lethbridge-West   
      
   The NDP slammed Flatla for a 2016 Facebook post where she called human-caused   
   global warming “mythology.â€� Her post appeared to criticize the creation of   
   the Alberta climate change office. Kenney said that there is a spectrum of   
   views on the issue.   
      
   Caylan Ford, former UCP candidate for Calgary-Mountain View   
      
   She wrote Facebook messages containing white nationalist rhetoric that   
   suggested white supremacist terrorists are treated unfairly. Several   
   high-profile politicians called on the star UCP candidate to resign after the   
   remarks surfaced. She quit the race,    
   saying she didn’t want to be a distraction for voters. Ford also said she   
   strongly denounces extremism and violence. She was replaced by candidate   
   Jeremy Wong.   
      
   Shane Getson, UCP candidate for Lac Ste. Anne-Parkland   
      
   He shared a “Yellow Vest Canadaâ€� Facebook post that had the headline   
   â€œmessage to Trudeau.â€� It was related to the group’s stance against the   
   UN’s Global Compact On Migration. The deal aims to improve co-operation on   
   international migration and    
   prevent suffering and chaos. It’s not legally binding, allowing its 193   
   signatory countries, including Canada, to control their own immigration rules.   
   Getson said he read the compact and it scared him. Kenney said Getson had a   
   legitimate perspective.   
      
   Grant Hunter, UCP candidate for Taber-Warner   
      
   Postmedia obtained a document tied to Hunter and fellow UCP candidate Mark   
   Smith, who argued while MLAs in September 2016 that the government has no   
   business banning conversion therapy. Conversion therapy is the harmful and   
   unfounded practice of    
   attempting to change someone’s sexual orientation. Hunter and Smith (Drayton   
   Valley-Devon) helped pen the document while part of the Wildrose Party’s   
   internal family and social values committee. It argued that conversion therapy   
   is a “psycho-social    
   and religious practiceâ€� which the government has no business banning. Both   
   Smith and Hunter wouldn’t comment on the issue.   
      
   UCP candidate Leela Aheer (Chestermere-Strathmore) was named as the editor of   
   a second version of the document, dated February 2017, when she was a Wildrose   
   MLA. In a statement sent to Postmedia Aheer said, “I was not in any way the   
   author or editor of    
   this document in question.â€� Aheer’s statement is the only response   
   provided by the UCP after multiple requests for comment on the two documents.   
      
   Jason Kenney, UCP leader and candidate for Calgary-Lougheed   
      
   Kenney has been fielding questions throughout his campaign related to   
   allegations that his team ran a co-ordinated campaign with fellow competitor   
   Jeff Callaway to sink rival Brian Jean during the 2017 UCP leadership race.   
   Callaway’s campaign has also    
   been linked to an RCMP investigation, and police have confirmed they are   
   investigating issues beyond the election commissioner’s purview. That news   
   followed allegations about financial irregularities. Kenney has denied his   
   team did anything unethical    
   or illegal. The election commissioner has handed out more than $35,000 in   
   fines related to Callaway’s campaign.   
      
   Eva Kiryakos, former UCP candidate for Calgary-South East   
      
   She resigned from the race after anti-Muslim comments she made on social media   
   came to light. She had also criticized gay-straight alliances, saying they   
   convert children instead of protecting them. Kiryakos stepped aside after   
   claiming that she received    
   threats, posting a video about the issue to her Facebook page. In it, she   
   shared her posts in which she discussed topics including “Germany’s   
   migrant rape crisisâ€� and the Alberta Teachers’ Association guidelines   
   around transgender people using    
   school washrooms. She was replaced by candidate Matt Jones.   
      
   Martin Long, UCP candidate for West Yellowhead   
      
   Long took heat for a Facebook comment he wrote in 2016 where he argued that a   
   Christian shouldn’t vote for or defend a government that supports gay   
   marriage, the minimum wage and abortion. He told Postmedia that he believes in   
   equality before the law,    
   and stands behind his party’s stance on the minimum wage and abortion.   
      
      
   Jason Nixon, UCP candidate for Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre   
      
   An Alberta woman claimed that she had an alleged altercation with Nixon in   
   2009 while he was out hunting and she was patrolling her property. The   
   altercation led to Nixon being charged with assault. The charge was later   
   dropped, but a peace bond was    
   entered. The woman, Allison Gentry, claimed Nixon was physically and verbally   
   threatening. Nixon disputed her version of events, saying that he hadn’t   
   been on her property. The peace bond mandated that Nixon stay off Gentry’s   
   property and remain on    
   good behaviour. He said signing the peace bond wasn’t an admission of guilt.   
      
   Tunde Obasan, UCP candidate for Edmonton-South West   
      
   He said a meme he shared in 2017 was “clearly a jokeâ€� after he was   
   criticized by NDP staff on social media. The meme he shared on Faceook says,   
   â€œDear Wife, If you want to bring out the best in your husband, give him   
   these 2 things: Respect and Sex (   
   in that order) (sic).â€� Obasan said it was a joke, “albeit one in poor   
   taste,â€� and called it a foolish move. He also said it wasn’t reflective of   
   his views and he treats his wife as his equal.   
      
      
   Roger Reid, UCP candidate for Livingstone-Macleod
