The Alberta Energy Regulator touts its rules for preventing financially strained companies from acquiring new licences. So why did MAGA Energy get approval to take over hundreds of sites when it was "in survival mode"? thenarwhal.ca/maga-energy-... #ableg #cdnpoli

The Alberta Energy Regulator approved MAGA Energy, already in financial distress, to acquire 170 oil and gas wells. Unpaid bills will likely fall on taxpayers

When asked to denounce separatism and affirm Alberta's place in Canada, the UCP did everything in their power to avoid going on the record.

Are they proud to be Canadian or not?

Yesterday in the Legislature, I asked Danielle Smith why health care keeps getting worse under her watch.

When she became Premier, she promised to fix it within months. However wait times are up, family doctors are harder to find, and health care workers are burning out. #abhealth #ableg #abpoli

Keeping up with the UCP government's democratic transgressions can be difficult.

But not impossible.

Here’s a running list since Danielle Smith became premier. 🧵👇

The “C” in UCP stands for “Cowards.”

The United Cowards Party.

Today Elections Alberta requested $13.5 million to be able to administer recalls and referendum.

The UCP committee in charge revised their request to just over $1 million.

And then voted it through.

The UCP just defunded recall/referendum.
