Well, too fn bad. She signed an OATH, like every MP does, and swears to uphold our democratic platform, and work for the BEST interest of the country! She forgets, that she is a "Public Servant" to SERVE Canadians. Otherwise #Resign because Canada 🚫 Prov Owners

Albertans did NOT vote for this, she in fact told us the opposite when she campaigned, ...we never made her the authoritarian to dictate her views to us...we built the public services so that ALL Albertans would be well served, not according to religious doctrine nor for profit! #FiretheUCP😡

Smith and this UCP government have made me hate living in my home province, where I have worked, raised a family and now retired. I loathe this government for continually making life here so unbearable that I now feel I have no choice but to leave. At some point, enough is just enough.

Here is a transcript of what the premier said.
When I came in, I thought, why is $40 billion of our budget in an Alberta Health Services agency we have no oversight over and then when you look at schools, we have $10 billion of our budget that we've delegated authority to 61 school authorities that we have no oversight over. We have another huge chunk that we give to universities that we have no oversight over, and on and on and on it goes. So I think you need to have a conservative vision for what you're going to do with the government’s spending. And our conservative vision is very different than the progressive vision. Our conservative vision is to partner with private entities, whether in the private sector, whether in the nonprofit sector, or whether it's charities, to deliver on the services that people care about. When you think about historically, where did all of the supports for widows and orphans come from? Where did the supports for the vulnerable sector come from? It started with faith-based communities. And government said, ‘Wait a minute, we've got a patchwork here. Why don't we step in to help?’ But in doing so, they have often crowded out some of that incredibly important nonprofit work. And so we're restoring that. We're finding a way to create a structure in government where you do have competition and choice and funding following patients or students or clients, so that you can create an internal market. So that is what I want to do, is I want to apply principles that I know work in the private sector to how we deliver government services, and we're making great strides in a lot of different areas. I think education is probably the greatest example in Alberta of how we do that. You have a choice of sending your kids to a public school or a Catholic school or a charter school or an independent school, or even home school if you want. We have different funding models for each of those. But in Alberta, we have parents willing to pay a portion of their own money to homeschool thei…

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.

The Federal govt sends transfers to the Provinces for Public Healthcare and Public Education, but the Premiers are dispersing it to Private facilities lately and this is a huge problem. The Premiers do not spend the taxpayers money wisely. #Alberta

Danielle Smith is a corrupt fascist and the UCP caucus is attacking democracy and shredding our charter rights at a frankly insane pace. We are being governed by a right wing radical party intent on never giving up power. #ableg

There is consensus among 🇨🇦 experts that this forced legislation will cause devastating levels of harm.

Any elected official who doesn’t support our charter rights, public education & public healthcare should lose their job. Quit voting conservative!

They should call an election. They don't have a mandate to do most of the stuff they have pushed through and plan to push through. They did not campaign on most of this fuckery, especially the use of the NWC to take away rights from citizens and the overt desire to take AB out of confederation.

Fascism is growing globally. The IDU (Harper/Poilievre), JCCF (John Carpay), ARC (Jordan Peterson), Heritage Fdn, Atlas Network, Koch Network, Federalist Society & Evangelical orgs in 🇨🇦 have been funding #Conservative for many years.

The IDU is an International organization of right wing leaders who are infiltrating Conservative parties worldwide. Stephen Harper is their global chairman. The Canadian IDU chairman is Pierre Poilievre. They've helped elect fascist authoritarian leaders like Trump, Orban, Netanyahu, Bolsonaro, Erdogan, etc.
