Hey Alberta!

There seems to be a lot of misconceptions on where me and my UCP party stands on "Team Canada" 🇨🇦

So here's a thread to show Albertans exactly who you voted for and how much we are on "Team Canada"!

Great news Alberta!

Anyone wanting a COVID-19 booster, can now get them at their local pharmacy for the low price of $100!

Pharmacists will receive 5 shots/day and Albertans will be charged an extra $50 to get them at their pharmacy.

In Alberta, we're incentivizing construction of new homes, not rental units. Industry response has been remarkable!

These statistics reflect a framework that accelerates housing development while ignoring the rental market.

It’s clear: UCP policy is the cause, not rent control.

An Alberta government poster comparing Calgary's rental prices to Edmonton. Calgary has a +4.6% increase year over year from 2019 to 2025. Edmonton has a +3.9% increase. The headline reads: UCP Policy equals unaffordable rent.

Hey Alberta Teachers! 📢

We're listening! Teachers are saying there isn't enough space and desks for students, so the UCP is investing an additional $1.8B to upgrade student desks!

This solution means there will be more than enough room for every student!

We need to attack and lock out Alberta teachers to try and hide the fact that my UCP gov't has spent so much taxpayer money on private for-profit independent charter schools that most people can't afford.

This is NOT how the new referendum process is to be used!

It is supposed to be for book bans, anti-abortion/immigration/LGBTQ+ policies, and every other ignorant hate-filled christo-fascist pro-conservative petition they can think of!

WOW!

Alberta just got another approved referendum petition!

And this one calls for the practice of funding private schools with public money to be put to an end!

During the teachers strike!

Strap in Alberta, we’re going on a ride!

As premier, I am often forced to make some really difficult decisions. Decisions that will affect people for generations. Decisions that affect me, my party, my friends, and our pocketbooks.

I stand by my decisions.

I'd really like to help teachers with class sized and funding issues, but we are flat broke since allocating over $400 MILLION to private for-profit charter schools. There's nothing we can do.

I 💯 support this petition!

We need to stop every single radical, woke, science believing, Liberal leftist from spreading lies and disinformation. We need a government filled with conservatives where people believe anything we tell them.

There is currently a petition to the House of Commons asking the government to draft legislation that would make it so MP's could not lie and spread misinformation/disinformation.

Sounds like a good idea to me 👍

His mother wants me to apologize.

Maybe I'll get Spanky McAllister to apologize for me. He's good at it.

We conservatives need to stick together to protect the children from these radical woke leftist teachers and those in the LGBTQIA+ community.

They are the REAL dangers to children today!

ALBERTA LEADS AGAIN!

When we first raised the minimum wage in 2018, we didn't stop there. We kept making it bigger and bigger to help make life more affordable for Albertans!

Year after year our province has the highest minimum wage in all of Alberta!

Health workers with HSAA are rallying for a “better deal” and showing signs like this.

These radical leftists need to stop the divisive rhetoric and show some respect if they expect to be heard by my UCP government.

This is abhorrent. She needs to be taught a lesson.

Friendly reminder:

The last time the UCP tried building a pipeline, it cost Alberta taxpayers $1.3 billion and the pipeline never got built!

But don't worry, we won't let that happen again. We've got new plans on how to waste tax money this time around.

It’s not just Bruce McAllister who has disdain for people that question my UCP government.

It’s also me and Rob Anderson.

In fact, it’s the entire UCP party and many of our members!

You see Alberta?!

Even though he doesn't specifically apologize for his behaviour, Spanky . . . I mean, Brucey is really sorry for his public display of ridicule.

I mean, really sorry.

We're talking big strong man, tears rolling down his face.

Keep the comments off, Bruce.

A social media post by Bruce McAllister, Executive Director to the Premier of Alberta, Danielle Smith, posted on September 30, 2025 at 9:42 am. It reads: Last night, while moderating the Alberta Next panel, I made an inappropriate remark to a participant. I regret saying it and I apologize. I'm committed to ensuring these conversations remain respectful and constructive.

10 years ago the NDP raised minimum wage, which is something conservatives would never do.

We'd rather businesses hire TFWs because they're easy to underpay and exploit. But since we don't like immigrants now, we have to find new ways to screw over young Albertans.
