elect for Livingstone-Macleod, made waves in April when comments she made about heart attack victims needing to take responsibility for their condition started circling the internet.

Petrovic said her comments, which were made during a February podcast interview, were taken out of context, as she was speaking to the greater health care problem in the province.

As a nurse, she said she has seen people suffer from heart attacks and not take responsibility for their health. “This might be political suicide here, what I’m about to say,” she began. “We can look at this, and I see it in health care, I’m going to say it: maybe the reason you had a heart attack was because you haven’t taken care of yourself; you’re extremely overweight, you haven’t managed your congestive heart failure, you haven’t managed your diabetes and there’s no personal accountability.”

Straight up facts, but the pArTy oF sCiEiNce objects lmao
