Watching the vast majority of hardcore #PierrePolyester supporters of the Conservative Party melt down over another MP crossing the floor & accusing anyone/everyone of betrayal rather than examining their message & what their party has become is both amusing & sad.

No!!!! PP should stay where he is! He’s the best Liberal asset ever! #cdnpoli
PP should resign immediately if he knows what's good for the Conservative Party. The longer he stays the more likely the Liberals with get a Majority in parliament.

Is it up to Provinces to save Canada?

With a growing number of Canadians losing faith in federal institutions, Blendr News wonders if the only way forward is to "start from scratch."

Tamara Lich gives her thoughts, pointing to Liberals ideological anti-gun laws as one example. #cdnpoli

It says a lot when another CPC jumps party lines to join the liberal caucus. This is the second in a month.

Congratulations on making the sane choice, Michael Ma!

Poilievre’s CPC is an extreme-right cult with an aging frat boy as leader. And now some newer Conservative MPs are figuring it out. There will be more. #cdnpoli

The UCP is hiding privatization behind “medically necessary” care and hoping no one asks if Albertans will still have universal coverage for “timely” care.

The policy hits you hard when you need surgery. You face tens of thousands or wait even longer.

They're all welcome in my UCP!

And if you're anti-union, anti-science, anti-abortion, pro-gun, intolerant towards the LGBTQ+, or an Alberta separatist, you're welcome too! Just turn a blind eye every time we strip away charter rights and freedoms.

This Fall, the UCP government stripped away Albertans' rights to bargain a fair agreement using the notwithstanding clause in a single day.

Class sizes didn’t improve. Student complexity wasn’t addressed.

So I asked: Was trampling on Albertans' rights worth it?

Health care is a right, not a privilege; this bill would have health care be a privilege — but only for those that can afford it

Bill 11 moves AB toward American-style health care — where your bank account decides how fast you’re treated

That’s not 🇨🇦
AB’s deserve better 🧡

Final QP for the year!

I ran the numbers on the CorruptCare scandal & they don’t look good.

We’re past a smoking gun - we’ve got a body, crime scene footage and fingerprints on the weapon.

Albertans deserve a public inquiry.

Why is the UCP pushing open-pit mines in the Rockies, threatening water and agriculture in rural and southern Albertans?

Businesses are innovating with technology, allowing steel to be made without coal, and coal royalties are among the lowest in Alberta.

This makes no sense #ableg
The UCP is pushing through a coal mining project that no one wants.

We'd like to know: who is this project serving? Because it sure isn't serving Albertans.
The UCP would rather protect coal companies than our pristine Rocky Mountains.
