Alberta Chief Government Whip Shane Getson will be speaking at the Redneck Town Hall at Benders Shop in Bentley on September 18, but people will be banned from bringing in cellphones. Benders Shop, the location of the meeting, called for people to bring their hard questions but not their cellphones. “UCP (United Conservative Party) Party Whip MLA Shane Getson is willing to put himself on the hot seat and answer your hardest questions,” said Benders Shop in a statement. “Cellphones are not allowed and you will have to be scanned for electronic signal to enter.” While admission is free for this event, it said donations will be accepted. It added people should bring snacks. “Coffee will be provided,” it said. This ordeal comes after Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said at the UCP Bonnyville Town Hall in July an amended Alberta Bill of Rights that will include protections for medical decisions will be tabled in the fall.
