Alberta - “We provide the lowest funding per student in Canada!”

Spanky - “It’s the Feds! Mass immigration! Inclusion is terrible! Uhhh Provincial Police force! Alberta Pension! We would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for those darn kids!”

Or something.

Please educate yourself and carefully read the paragraph on Alberta Public Education in the referenced article. Then, give your head a vigorous shake and loudly question why the current UCP Gov't has veered so badly from these ideals? #ABpoli, #ABedu albertaviews.ca/the-lesson-o...
The Lesson of Lougheed - Alberta Views
Lougheed bounded onto to the University campus to recruit students, and I quickly became a supporter. He had youth, energy and enthusiasm.

Sincerely hope (and expect) that the campaign is significantly past the 300,000 mark so that no refusal by Smith et al will be possible. Quite certain attempts will be made to ignore or throw out the process, but under current and past laws, the Gov't is bound to deal with it.

Forever Canadian has apparently reached their goal of 300,000 signatures.

What about the 3 strike rule for a Prov. Gov't? Three cock ups this week for the UCP! Covid vaccine roll-out/availability, forced civic election complications, and ham-fisted unveiling of the Wyant Report (which DID NOT absolve Smith). This is NO serious Gov't and it should be turfed from office.
Trouble is, Danielle Smith & Co. will NEVER willingly call a full public inquiry, particularly if she feels her administration might be tarnished by the outcome. After all, she refuses any sort of public accountability at all. Political opposition must to find a way to leverage this refusal. #ABpoli
Will this dovetail with their plan to have Citizenship indicators on Driver's Licences and I.D. cards?
Most Albertans DO NOT want, an APP, Prov. Police, sovereignty, privatized education, privatized medicine or fights with Canada/other provinces. Why then does Danielle Smith insist on working towards implementing these things? Quit trying to pull the wool over our eyes or just find a new job! #ABpoli
Danielle Smith and the UCP gang are hapless administrators. They're attempting to govern AB out of blind allegiance to their quest for sovereignty & meeting ideological goals. There's no listening to what citizens actually want or need, & no "neutral" civil service with advice they follow. #ABpoli

A Provincial Gov't is bound to look out for the best interests of all of the citizens of its Province. Clearly, the UCP Gov't and Danielle Smith have no interest in fulfilling their mandate. Past the time to find someone else who will! Turf the lot of 'em! #ABpoli
Maybe he'd go if he got word that Justin Trudeau had just purchased a property in Battle River/Crowfoot?
We all knew she'd do that from the outset, the way the terms of reference were rigged from the start. Smith's performative investigation and report were all a sham. She's certainly not off the hook yet!
RCMP Investigation needed now! There are 10's of $millions still missing in this sham purchase of Turkish Parol. These funds belong to the people of Alberta, yet we have no assurance that either the balance will ever be recovered or that transactional value was ever received. #ABpoli
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.

Smith's "fight" is all about keeping enough rabid secessionists and social conservatives in line as supporters to stay in power. This enables the "get rich" scheme by doling out pieces of the once wealthy and prosperous Province of Alberta to friends and party members. Let the fleecing continue!
Now that's truly a terrifying sight! Two of Canada's fiercest defenders of family and territory teamed up. Underestimate a moose and/or a goose at your own peril.
"Smith has repeatedly benefited from separatist energy - using it to justify her "sovereignty” policies, while distancing herself from the people and tactics that fuel it. The Result? She gets the outrage without the fingerprints." Sums it up nicely! #ABpoli
There are SO many issues to take up against the directions Smith and the UCP are heading in. Civil rights violation is certainly one of them. Decimation of Public Education and Healthcare are two other biggies. Why stop at criticizing dual standards for a Drivers Licence I.D.? Like the corruption?
We conservatives need to take a stand against one of our own
Conservatives have taken the lead on equality many times before. They need to do so again.

Trump claimed today "I am not a King". Well, I say that if it walks like a duck and if it quacks like a duck, I'm pretty suspicious that if it's not actually a duck, at least it wants you to think it might be. Please explain the gold trappings, continual decrees and demands of fealty then.
This is why political parties like the UCP or the CPC will never win over a majority of voters. Decent people of the land see right through this lack of humility and don't like what they see at all. So politicians of that ilk resort to tricks and illusions (and lies) to attract voters.
Yup! They will have to face an angry Opposition, angry teachers and an angry public. All they can do is write an "letter" asking the teachers to go back to work without acknowledging the big issue of class sizes. The UCP is a pathetic excuse for responsible Government. #ABpoli
Danielle Smith is the Great Pretender! She pretends to be perfect and incapable of errors or terrible judgement. She pretends to represent the views and the needs of most Albertans. She pretends to be the smartest voice in the room. She pretends to be worthy of being the Premier of a great Province.
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.
