Y'know, I've seen more swastikas in the last 2 years than I feel I've seen in the entirety of my life.
But sure, we don't have a Nazi problem...uh huh...
This is the UCP. If you're a UCP voter, you support this. You don't get to hide your head in the sand about what this party stands for and what it represents.

I'm continuing to play one long game in tandem with a shorter game. The shorter games make me feel like I'm accomplishing something, as well as clearing storage!
Currently:
Long Game - Outer Worlds 2
Short Game - Layers of Fear (Remake). I played the originals, and enjoy Bloober's games!

I Love this for her. She's pissed off Albertans while trying to keep her base happy, and they won't be happy with anything less than separation.
Guess we all hate Danielle Smith!
Anyone know if there's a leadership review as a part of this AGM?

Plenty of boobirds as Danielle Smith continues to make the pitch that Alberta and the feds are making progress on their partnership.

Well well well. Me thinks Dani made another massive miscalculation. Play with fire, you're bound to get burned eventually.
“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”

This, right here!
“A government does not reach for the notwithstanding clause four times in a month unless something is deeply wrong. This isn’t normal. It isn’t safe. And it isn’t democracy. Each time rights are pushed aside, a warning siren is blaring: Power is being placed above people.”

During the same week that the UCP is expanding privatization, the auditor general finds that government interference cost taxpayers over $100 million.

How can anyone deny it’s the government that’s the problem?

Maybe tie any energy deal to removal of notwithstanding clause, a commitment to using Health and education transfers for Public systems, and build in real consequences for violating these items.
We need federal help against this rogue Provincial gov!

I feel like Alberta is trying to win a "taking away Canadians Rights and Freedoms" contest, invoking the clause on 4 laws now before a court has even had the chance to rule it unconstitutional.
Help! Albertans are under attack!
This is why operation full recall is needed. Accountability

He corrected the reporter without calling names, saying fake news or calling the media biased.
This is a true world leader in the media. So unlike the Maple Maga opposition leader.

Sounds like we have all the aluminum the US needs but tarrifs are making it very expensive. Maybe the plants should move to Canada to avoid tarrifs?

We should also be holding our to higher ethical and moral standards.
I think a fine for spreading disinformation and lies. $10,000 per offence? Maybe that would be insentive to verify info before spreading it? Start restoring trust in our representatives?
