This is hard to believe-Who voted for this?

Albertans are the test animals in a half assed experiment that will destroy all that was great about Alberta. Let's live in the 1830's again

Where did these dimwit people and their supporters come from?

Smith finally said it out loud...

She doesn't believe that government should be providing any services to Albertans, she believes that private companies should be used universally to provide services.

Faith groups should take care of the vulnerable.

So my question is why did she choose to become a Provincial leader of such a system she despises?
To change our ways???
Nobody asked for that. Did they?

Another question: Did she campaign to get elected telling people this is her ideals? And her goal?
Probably not.

Perhaps because we are fighting on too many fronts to summon the energy. Maybe we need to redirect those energies to the long game, ultimately the intergenerational game - but that doesn't fit well with election cycles.

I said enough for now, but there is an interesting dichotomy in this speech. On the one hand (& at the outset) there is this lamentation of the loss of (delegation of) power (a claim to centralize power) & then there is the appeal to markets & choice (real or not). Which does she really want?

This interview, actually a speech, sets up the ideological challenge for the next election in Alberta.
Let's leave it at that for now, but unless progressives want to keep reacting they/we need to articulate a clear progressive vision for education, health care & the environment.

Treaty 8 Grand Chief Trevor Mercredi had some strong words for Canada & Alberta...

He made it clear that Treaty 8 will not just not support, they will actively oppose any new pipelines in the north without consultation & called for an immediate pause.

“Alberta is now governed by an administration whose treatment of disabled citizens would, in previous eras, have been regarded as a lamentable stain on public conscience.” Cam Tait hits the nail squarely on the head. #ABleg #Alberta edmontonsun.com/opinion/tait...
Tait: Alberta's Bill 12 does disservice to disabled Albertans
AISH becomes a rarified category reserved only for those deemed permanently unemployable.

Alberta’s Bill 11 threatens universal public healthcare across Canada. It replaces universal care with a two-tier system. This means longer waits, higher costs for everyone, and weaker public healthcare.

The federal government must act. notwotier.ca/canadahealth...

URGENT: Stop Two Tier Care. Prime Minister Mark Carney Must Act Now.
We have to defend and promote Universal Public Healthcare before it's too late.

We Albertans don't want private services. We want the public services we are supposed to have as Canadians!

I honestly don’t understand how this clip isn’t leading every news program in the country. Even ten years ago this would be an era defining political statement

How can anyone be a journalist and not be compelled to pounce on this? It should be like an involuntary muscle spasm

She and Kenney have been working to dismantle it the whole time the UCP has been in operation.

This is one I could really get behind. An Attorney General who clearly doesn't believe that it is his responsibility to stand up for the rule of law.
