@McAllisterBruce Thank you for acknowledging that, Bruce. It takes courage to own mistakes publicly. How do you plan to foster even more respectful dialogue in future panels?

@McAllisterBruce I’ve been a Conservative supporter since I was able to vote. 40 years. I’ve supported the UCP through the leadership battles. We expect better. It’s hard to support the UCP when you act like you do. How many incidents are we to endure till your fired or resign.

@McAllisterBruce I just saw the video. Wowsers. Good on you for taking responsibility. Let’s do better.

@McAllisterBruce It was more than inappropriate- your behavior was reprehensible. Silencing several citizens during the AB Next Panel last night and in particular silencing a child by using violent and threatening language is unbecoming of an elected official.

@McAllisterBruce The one clip most Albertans will see of the ‘AB next’ panels is you cutting off and berating a kid who mustered the courage to ask a question Whatever the output of this exercise is now dead on arrival as it’s clear the intent was never to listen to Albertans. Congrats. #ableg

@McAllisterBruce Resign. You publicly berated a child exercising his free speech and told him his parents should spank him more. The UCP is not supposed to tell us what to say or how to parent. You did both yesterday. You are a disgrace to the office of the Premier. @ABDanielleSmith do something.

@McAllisterBruce Non-Apology not accepted. You stifled a legitimate concern of a student before he could even ask his question. You expressly told him he was intentionally creating 'chaos' and told him his parents should beat him. This, in no way, was 'respectful and constructive' but the reverse

@McAllisterBruce Publically and shamelessly made the comment at the stand of a mic in room full of people, but cowers his "apology" through a keyboard we don't even know McAllister even touched. Screams PR damage control. Who raised YOU, @McAllisterBruce ??

@McAllisterBruce Did you write that all by yourself?

@McAllisterBruce These conversations have never been respectful and constructive, and I simply don't believe you regret this. You regret being caught on camera and amplified on social media, and that's all. We see you and the UCP propaganda for what you are.

@McAllisterBruce Not good enough you’re a fully grown adult to talk down to a teenager at a public forum engaging in politics that affects their future is deplorable those are future voters. That kid is going to remember that when he gets to the polls.

@McAllisterBruce “Inappropriate”? That would put it mildly. Advocating parents beat their kids into not being engaged in public discourse, challenging public officials on matters of public interest, is actually the stuff of tyrants. Of course, you remaining employed says enough of this Govt.

@McAllisterBruce You exposed yourself, Bruce. You think that children should be beaten if they ask questions you don't like

@McAllisterBruce Suggesting a child be beaten for expressing an opinion is not just an “inappropriate remark.” It reveals everything about your party’s belief in open dialogue and democracy and the voice of young people. Absolutely disgusting display.

@McAllisterBruce Let's be clear. You regret saying it because it got you some flack, not because it doesn't accurately represent your values, tempermant, or character. The UCP wouldn't know how to have a constructive conversation if their life depended on it

@McAllisterBruce A teen expressed an opinion & tried to ask a question. Your response was to suggest their parents beat them & you turned off the microphone so the teen was silenced. Resign!

@McAllisterBruce You need to be subjected to a public spanking by the kid or smith. Bare bottom. Or resign. You should be ashamed of yourself, but we know the UCP doesn’t even consider that an emotion.

@McAllisterBruce If you were committed to that, you wouldn’t have said it in the first place. “By their fruits shall ye know them.” We see you. We know you.

@McAllisterBruce Didn’t realize “child intimidation” was on your media tour checklist, Bruce. Thanks for the apology - it really ties the gaslighting together.

@McAllisterBruce Really? You’ve been acting like this - like you don’t give a shit- through all panel meetings! While I understand you need to keep people on topic, you don’t have to be such a fucking prick about it. Mind you, you do reflect the current government….

@McAllisterBruce You were SO disrespectful to that young man. This "apology" is insufficient. You reigned over these UCP antidemocratic dog and pony shows like a fanatical cultist, gleefully shutting down any countering opinions and questions. This is all a disingenuous and dishonest joke.

@McAllisterBruce What about Red Deer? And all the other instances? You've disrespected the public office you are paid handsomely ($825k, to be specific) to hold.

@McAllisterBruce You're a real piece of work. What a shallow apology, don't even have the guts to apologize directly to the student. Weak. If you're a representative of your party then there's no way I'm voting for the UCP.

@McAllisterBruce You are a joke, can’t handle some hard questions and this apology to help soothe the PR shitstorm you created - your contempt for current and future voters is clear

@McAllisterBruce Last night, while moderating the AB Next panel, I verbally assaulted a teenager because I’m a dirt stain of a human being. I’m only posting a message because I’m too incompetent to find a new job. I’m committed to working for a MAGA government and silencing the voices of youth.

@McAllisterBruce Too late. You said it , and there’s no taking it back. This is not a catholic confession booth. You showed your true character.

@McAllisterBruce You tried to suggest a teenager be beaten for daring to express an opinion (and you even managed to mangle that). That was your reflexive response. That's beyond "inappropriate" and a real red flag.

@McAllisterBruce You & @ABDanielleSmith are clearly counting on ABs blindly accepting this tweet as anything more than a check box. You show who you are daily, and it’s shameful. You both need to resign. There’s no coming back from this.

@McAllisterBruce You put more effort and emotion in your rebuke of this young man than you did in your apology. I teach my kids that the apology needs to match the damage done if not larger than. What did you teach your kids through this?

@McAllisterBruce @DuaneBratt You berated a kid and said he should be spanked for aaking a question about his education. How does any part of you think that's okay when you're in the moment? It isn't.

@McAllisterBruce That was incredibly rude and insulting. Not just your comment, but cutting off the microphone when you don’t like the question. What kind of message does your behaviour send to young people? Do you think this will win over voters?

@McAllisterBruce Step. The. Fuck. Down. “Oops my bad” isn’t enough. Threatened by a teenager asking a question? You are a fucking embarrassment

@McAllisterBruce Speaking as a Mom, RESIGN. You have never committed to being respectful or constructive yourself. You had zero right to suggest physical punishment of someone else's child over a simple question!

@McAllisterBruce I am generally okay when people who make mistakes apologize. I am not sure I feel that way about the remarks I saw on a video clip. IMO, the reaction to a student’s question was well beyond inappropriate. It was offensive to the student, to those in the room, and to Albertans.

@McAllisterBruce You don’t regret saying it. You regret it going viral and the massive blowback you are getting because of it. In more principled times this would have been a career ending move, but we all know you aren’t going anywhere. Look who you are working for.

@McAllisterBruce Can you explain why you cut the mic?
