On the school board trustee front…

Hearing some “elections workers” were at advance polling stations in #yyc telling people that candidates had dropped out so there would be no trustee ballots.

When those candidates had not dropped out.

The health mandate letters are out and it’s clear the UCP cares more about privatization and Corrupt Care than you.

While the UCP are siphoning public funds to private operators and charging people for vaccines, over one million Albertans still don’t have a family doctor. #abhealth #ableg #abpoli

Imagine if abandoned oil wells could be used for this ,instead of being a polluting danger for infinity- Alberta will never make 1000s of abandoned oil wells safe,

The AB Conservatives have failed to properly manage the economy and now are facing their comeuppance. The blew out the Heritage Trust Fund, failed to diversify away from a single-industry economy, ruined the social safety net, eroded education, and destroyed any inter-provincial goodwill.
FAFO!

Just like Kenney did with 1.4Billion pipeline to US border, he knew President Biden didn’t want it.
Another #ABUCP waste of AB Taxpayer’s $$ to fill their pockets & their buddies too.
Time to put your #ElbowsUp Alberta against #UCPCorruption & support Teachers & Healthcare before it’s too late!

The Premier of Alberta is up to her perpetually confused brow in scandals; the teachers are on strike and there’s no end to that in sight, we’re still waiting on the report about the procurement scandal …

The pipeline is THEATRE. It’s not real. It’s a distraction, and it’s a cover - that’s it.

Oh, #ableg & #cdnpoli

I hope you’ve all seen this. If not, you should.

Eby is 💯 correct. This “pipeline” is more Danielle Theatre. It’s a means to eventually blame BC & Ottawa for her gov’ts failure. It’s a means to distract from the AHS scandal. It’s pandering to her base.

IT. IS. NOT. REAL.

Danielle Smith loves to pick fights but if I were her I might have thought twice about picking one with a guy who is 6’7”, spits facts, and absolutely nailed the real reason she’s shilling for a pipeline.

Danielle Smith’s “pipeline do-over” has no investors, no plan, just public money propping up a dying industry, experts warn.

Alberta’s new oil pipeline could cost billions and end up stranded as the world moves past fossil fuels.

Political Disaster: Smith calls Eby “UnCanadian,” “Parochial”

Danielle Smith embarrassed herself today. Her comments about Dave Eby were uncalled for.

BC residents will be furious.

Bye, bye pipeline.

WOW!

Alberta just got another approved referendum petition!

And this one calls for the practice of funding private schools with public money to be put to an end!

During the teachers strike!

Strap in Alberta, we’re going on a ride!

Great. I’m sick of the corrupt UCP. Banning books, trying to destroy public healthcare, blaming immigrants, taking away LGBTQ rights and trying to favouring private schools. Enough. If it looks like a duck…they’re just like the US fascists Smith keeps bowing to.
