I love this for her
“prominent separatist supporter Jeff Rath received a standing ovation from the packed crowd when he asked how many of them support independence.
Smith, who countered by saying she supports a sovereign Alberta within a united Canada, was roundly booed by delegates still standing from the ovation”

Let’s do this!
I wrote about a novel approach to tackling misinformation currently being discussed in Wales--and which some say Canada should try, too. What if we made a rule so politicians couldn't lie? www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
Is it time to make it illegal for politicians to lie to us?
That’s the question currently on the table in Wales, which has just released a draft of the “globally pioneering” sanctions for politicians.

A year after the UCP was elected in AB, Alberta Health Services was voted best integrated health service in North America and one of the top five in the world. Since then the UCP has wrecked it beyond recognition. Provinces and territories should look to the previous success to make improvements

Not just teachers, I’m AUPE and our pensions are there too. JFC
So the UCP stole teachers pensions, set up AIMCo to give jobs to retired politicians, and promptly started losing billions of pension dollars.
Now they want to legislate that they don't have to pay for their fuck up.

Note the UCP's meme 👇.
In this particular case, the government has broken commitments to preserve public healthcare.
More worrisome, they're keeping more promises than they made in their 2023 platform.

Universal Healthcare means one high-quality system for everyone, regardless of income.
Two-tier means two systems: faster care for people who can pay, slower (and less accessible) care for those who can't.
Danielle Smith effectively switched Alberta to Two-Tier yesterday.
