Pierre Poilievre, can just fuck right off.

Hear that CPC? Nobody likes him anymore.
Even you guys can't stand him. Be honest.

So far the GoA has shelled out (only what we know) $237.8 million (142.8M to Atrum and 95M to Evolve) to cover its mismanagement of the coal file
Meanwhile coal revenues for 2004/5 brought in a mere 0.4% of total resource revenues for AB or $15.5M.
And why is there no money for teachers?

The Danielle Smith government is making the Covid vaccine shot booking process as difficult as possible. I can't book for my wife and I together - it is a planned disaster that is purely ideologically driven. #ableg #abpoli

Here’s the nice neat clip you can share over and over to haunt Poilievre forever. And ever.

It's Premier Smith and @albertaucp.bsky.social

I’m so mad. Our voting line is over 2.5 hours long. People are leaving. Parents don’t have childcare during the strike. Kids can’t wait that long.

Check on your neighbours. Offer childcare. Bring an extra camping chair and toque and water for someone in line.

It’s long past time for Speaker Johnson to do his job and swear in Arizona Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva. She won on September 23rd that’s 26 days ago.

The cost-of-living crisis is hitting everyone, and while some candidates are making promises that don’t add up, I’m focused on real solutions we can deliver immediately.

As much as Smith tried today to spin the children’s medication debacle as being the result of former premiers or leadership races or byelections…

It was all her idea.

How do we know?

She said so.

Your support for my mayoral candidacy means the world.

Every public health expert - “We need to reduce barriers to entry for vaccines and increase availability!”

UCP - “So you’re saying we should open up a month and a half window to rebook vaccines for a year from now?”

Experts - *Sob uncontrollably*

In December of 2022, the Govt of Canada offered 96,000 bottles of Australian Tylenol (the real brand) to Alberta.

It wasn’t AHS that refused.

It was the govt, saying that wouldn’t be enough.

How many bottles were actually used in hospitals?

9,000.

A powerful Op Ed from Douglas Stollery who was Co-Counsel on Vriend v. Alberta.

“Just as we defended the dignity and Charter rights of gay people then, we must defend the dignity and Charter rights of trans people now.”

I helped win a landmark case for gay rights nearly 30 years ago. I fear we’re forgetting the lessons of the past
In targeting trans youth, many provinces are evoking a sinister past.
