RURAL ED CLOSURES - REAL AB Case #1
- ABs are not aware of how frequently rural EDs are closed, and the impact on the people in these communities.
- the ever-worsening stats are meaningless
- it's important to put a human face on what's happening.

Anonymized Actual Case #1:

How much money did the Alberta government waste on the Alberta next survey and town halls that could have gone to paying teachers what they deserve 🤬 The UCP and Danielle Smith need to go and FUCK OFF

Two days left to answer the surveys. A new alternative email address can work for the surveys that changed. Mute the useless videos. #AlbertaNext #ABleg #ABpoli

#DanielleSmith doesn't like it when we talk about the Alberta Prosperity Project ( #APP ) being the same as the #UCP. Same people, same policies, same goal on separation. So let's talk about it more. #ABleg #Abpoli

APP turns on the fan and Dani starts dancing.

This couple does not want to separate from each other just from Canada.

Political Disaster: Smith calls Eby “UnCanadian,” “Parochial”

Danielle Smith embarrassed herself today. Her comments about Dave Eby were uncalled for.

BC residents will be furious.

This is dangerous rhetoric. Attempts to delegitimize opponents' right to take part in a conversation inevitably undermine respect on both sides.

It polarizes our politics, undermining trust in democracy, which depends on expressing disagreement.

Thank you for using your voice, Evan, and thank you for encouraging so many others to do the same.

"This also suggests the UCP may want to look closely at their widely suspected plan to call an early election, because the kind of generalized anger evident at the Edmonton and Calgary rallies hints at wider dissatisfaction with a while range of unpopular policies pushed by the UCP.

It is important to me that all Albertans have an opportunity to show their support for Canada by signing the petition.

The Alberta Next panel was like a Springfield town hall run by #SpankyMcAllister —only instead of jokes, we got open hostility toward immigrants. The panelists weren’t just silent; they were complicit, grinning like they’d just been promised a cushy job at the Nuclear Plant. #AlbertaNext #Abpoli
