💸 Millions wasted.
❌No accountability.
The UCP spent MILLIONS on unusable PPE from a company with no medical supply history. Now, it’s costing Albertans over $5M in storage fees.
Danielle Smith and Adriana LaGrange keep deflecting blame.

The many, many tens of millions of Blue Americans who love and support Canada can help here by:
1. Buying Canadian in stores and on line (e.g., might I suggest Kaslo Sourdough Pasta, a wonderful family company in BC?)
2. Buying/vacationing Blue
3. Boycotting Red and all Red enablers

The use of the boycott has a long and powerful tradition of taking on tyranny. The grassroots Canadian boycott against Trump is having a serious effect.
And we've only just begun..

Michael Moore is right, Trump is transparent about what he was/ is going to do and Americans welcomed him and his autocracy. If you think majority of his voters regretted, you’re being delusional. I posted one question on YouTube and got over 100 responses, all say they are extremely happy with him.

I continue to laugh mirthlessly at the fact that we've been around for 250 years, been through dozens of wars big and small, segregation, civil war, racism, women's suffrage. So many things. And what takes us out will be a spray tanned game show host and a South African shitposting videogamer.
