“Premier Danielle Smith has suggested foreign interference and organized unions could be behind the recall petitions against 14 of her caucus members.”

OR, hear me out, your government is doing a terrible job and grassroots Albertans want change.

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

Right.

I see.

And they said disease control was expensive.

How many buildings could we have fixed with this kind of money? Hmmm?

Smith cannot meet the criteria. Carney knows it, and now he has erased any opportunity of Alberta saying Liberals don’t engage them.

There are no private investors, Coastal First Nations say, “No” and BC won’t approve it.

So why are people acting as if construction starts tomorrow? #cdnpoli
Premier David Eby, speaking now, cites PM Carney's comments from earlier this week that pipeline would have to have agreement from B.C. and First Nations.

"This project does not have the support of Coastal First Nations," he says. Adds no proponent, no route, no money.

1. Many Canadians, including me, are questioning Carney’s commitment to #ClimateAction.
2. Max knows what he’s talking about.
3. Yes Carney should be communicating better. He may also be much more focussed on results than looking good. That’s how non-politician experts think.
4. Let’s keep watching.

In my life, there has never been a need to “renew” my publicly funded healthcare. Governments are responsible for keeping records and assuring access. This kind of policy is an attack on the most vulnerable among us: homeless, disabled, nursing home residents, poor families, etc. For shame!

“Insured services may be declined until coverage is reinstated. Emergency services are still provided, but the patient may be billed if uninsured,”

1/ Hoekstra’s statements are mind boggling and supported by Americans.

Hoekstra: Canadians shouldn’t be upset about becoming the 51st state - it’s a compliment.

Canadians: No country on 🌎 sees a foreign country seizing their country as a compliment.

It’s to take our natural resources.
US Ambassador to Canada: But let me tell you, I go around the country and people will say, “Pete, you just don’t understand why we’re so mad about the 51st state.” And it’s kind of like, “Yeah, you’re right. I don’t.

I've long been a fan & advocate of CBC News, but the increasing Americanization of 🇨🇦 news network is rivaling the bias of CTV, & this is bad news for publicly-funded & independent news media in 🇨🇦. CBC isn't respecting Canadians & one wonders if their ombudsperson is listening or has been relegated.

The UCP is trying to shield AIMCO from a $1.3+ billion lawsuit because of the UCP's own decisions.

When will the UCP understand that pension dollars are not public funds and quit fucking around with them?

I wonder how many Albertans Smith & the UCP have killed by -
Destroying healthcare
Taking away photo radar
Taking away trans-youth Charter Rights
Their anti-vax policies
Defunding social serves

IMO, every recall is justified because the price of keeping the UCP in power is too high

This is a point that needs repeating. It’s fiscally conservative to house the homeless, it’s also the right thing to do.

Answer: Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing… #HousingFirst
