Response to Social Media Post

Travis Keisig: — Mr. Speaker, Neil Ottenbreit is the former mayor of Grayson, one of the owners of Grayson meats and a well-respected member of his community. The other day he posted a comment, very positive comment, in response to some of the things the NDP has been saying about schools in Saskatchewan. He said, and I quote:

Our school is well maintained and provides a fabulous learning environment for our kids. We have a new daycare, brand new playground, well-equipped gymnasium, modern technology, amazing teachers, and our children have an incredible environment to learn in.

Neil Ottenbreit is obviously very proud of his community and very proud of Grayson School. And how did the NDP member for Rochdale respond? She called him a troll, Mr. Speaker. She said in a post directly responding to him, and I quote, “Quoting trolls in the House is risky business.”

Mr. Speaker, this is beyond disgusting. The NDP is now expanding its personal attack campaign beyond the House and attacking a former mayor and a well-respected member of his community for simply saying Grayson has a nice school. The NDP call him a troll. Mr. Speaker, this isn’t an accident. It’s a pattern. It’s a strategy to personally attack anyone the NDP disagrees with.

Is that acceptable to the Leader of the Opposition? Does she think it’s okay for her member to call Neil Ottenbreit a troll?
