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

Last night the UCP used their power as gov’t to limit debate on multiple bills to one hour.
They’ve done it > 80 times in six years.
I had a few choice words in response and in defence of Albertans who deserve a government that respects democracy.
Better is possible. Just not with UCP. #abpoli

Dwight is a rural landowner in Two Hills, #Alberta.
12 years ago, he was forced to host a gas well on his land, on the condition that the industry fully close and clean it up when the well stopped producing.
That never happened.
