Danielle Smith wants to blame everyone but herself.

She’s the Premier, and she must take responsibility for these allegations of corruption.

The UCP is incapable of being the ethical, competent government Albertans deserve.

Mayors, reeves, councillors, school board trustees — the people who make the decisions that impact our lives every day. Electing strong local leadership only happens if we exercise our right to vote!

Monday, October 20th, is E-Day!
Research your candidates, make a plan, and get out & vote!

#Project2025 is a #Conservative movement in 🇺🇸 & 🇨🇦.

#DanielleSmith along with #TBA & #UCP are placing their people in #Alberta orgs at every level (municipal, school, police, provincial, federal, media, legal) to ensure they win.

There are two things to definitely not forget:

The #EpsteinFiles, and #Project2025

One is definitely being resisted in many, hidden ways.
The other is definitely in motion, quietly and under other guises.

As everyone is ramping up for the municipal elections in Alberta, don’t forget about your school board trustees! If you care about your schools, and you should, please vet your candidates and vote. Yes, those wacky social Conservative are running www.electionscalgary.ca/for-voters/c...

If you haven't read this yet, read it. Understand that this year's municipal elections are an existential fight - figure out who the UCP's allies are and vote against them. Democracy matters.

Alberta friends: it’s election day.

You might say municipal elections are lame BUT I tell you your school trustee vote this time is CRITICAL given how this ucp government is treating teachers.

So vote for someone who cares about kids

If you haven't voted in the municipal election yet, read this first. The UCP injected party politics and big money into these elections to appease Take Back Alberta. No one wanted it. Danielle Smith herself said she was against party politics in municipal elections. albertaviews.ca/parties-over...

Municipal Parties Over People - Alberta Views

Danielle Smith was being lobbied to legislate municipal parties. Third-party advertiser Take Back Alberta (TBA) was in fact behind the push.

Our border officers are essential to our security— keeping drugs, guns, and criminals out of our communities.

So, we’re investing in the Canada Border Services Agency to hire 1,000 new officers who will keep our borders secure and our streets safe.

Canadians already rejected Pierre Poilievre's politics of spectacle and division.

He's doubling down because it's all he has to offer.
