The UCP are happy to extend the contract for a private surgical company connected to the CorruptCare scandal…
…but not for the Auditor-General who’s investigating it.
Because the most power-hungry Premier & government in Canada isn’t in this for Albertans - they’re in this for themselves. #abpoli

I gotta say, if Elections #Alberta can't certify the Forever Canadian petition because the #UCP didn't provide the funding, we'll see an even greater drop in Danielle Smith's support. 456k Albertans will want a word.
And Operation Total Recall is still a go.

Tomorrow, from 9 AM to noon, St. Albert students are organizing a walk-out and a march in support of Teachers.
As a dad, former Teacher and education minister, I support this. Missing school is warranted in support of social justice and civil right.
I’ll join them.

Danielle Smith and the UCP must resign or be forced from office. Today they have spat in the face of every single Albertan, blatantly violating our rights to cover for her own incompetence. This is an attack on the charter and an attack on the democratic and legal rights of every Canadian. #ableg

Where's the premier while MLAs rush through an all-night debate on stripping Albertans of their Charter rights?
An airport lounge, waiting for a flight to Saudi Arabia. She didn't even bother to show up for the vote.
I remember when conservatives turfed premiers for this level of hubris.

Danielle Smith is the least freedom-loving politician in Canada. She has used the notwithstanding clause against workers for the first time in our history. This is horrifying evidence of the UCP’s willingness to suppress Albertans’ fundamental Charter rights. It’s unconscionable and it’s dangerous.

Bitter sweet… There are no more #ForeverCanadian petition signing locations. We are now gathering all petitions and tabulating the results.
Tomorrow, at Elections Alberta, we will announce the number. But it’s not only about the number. We built a movement, a community of hope.
