Why are they fertilizing the forests? Isn't it enough that the spray for pine beetles is kills the broadleaf trees that are fire retardant?

Wear yellow to your No Kings event. People around the world have used color to show collective strength in the face of oppression throughout history. Our movement is no different.

How much is this costing??? Their subtle nod to sovereignty and separation is a waste of time and money and offensive to a lot of Albertans. This money could be spent on teachers or education assistants. Every day becomes more embarrassing and frustrating being an Albertan.

Nor is this meant to be a distraction from all the scandals and turmoil the UCP is at the heart of. Teachers strike, ED closures, AHS lawsuit and investigation report, etc.

Another waste of energy and money. Albertans deserve better. Instead of giving families $150 a week to help with costs related to the teachers'strike, just give the teachers want they fkn deserve and want. It's probably cheaper too.
What are the findings of those investigations???

Annalise Klingbeil @annaliseak.bsky.social · 23h

Prentice scraped a similar plan in 2014 that would have cost $15 million.

"The priority of the government should not be designing licence plates. We have other priorities that are more pressing, that matter to Albertans," Prentice said at the time.
