He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18

Government doesn't stop except for health care and education. Those have come to a screeching halt. Thanks UCP!

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.

1/6 🚨ALBERTANS DESERVE A PUBLIC INQUIRY INTO #CORRUPTION ALLEGATIONS🚨

As a report into Alberta's surgical contracting process is finally due, health care advocates renew their call for a full #PublicInquiry.

The current investigation is a sham.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

Total Calgary operating budget for 2026 is $4.6 billion. Sad that two current councillors (Sharp and McLean) and one former councillor (Davison) believe that the city of Calgary is spending $87 billion just on climate change.

No one is talking about the fact that TMX is up and running and has been for sale for quite a while now. How does Danielle Smith think a proponent will come to support her pipeline when there already is one up and running that no one want to buy? Am I missing something?

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.
