Ossoff: "She got her new insurance quote & it's $700 more per month than what she's paying now. She's diabetic. She had surgery a few months ago for something else. She told me she cried again bc she realized she's gonna have to cancel her insurance. She believes she might die bc of a policy choice"

Nenshi - So why were you cool with hiring 5 relatives of Mraiche (and Amery)... Didn't that raise any concerns for you?

Smith - I met with Mr Mraiche and I listened to him!

(That's kinda the concern tho)

Alberta Healthcare Universality is Clearly in Smith's Sights

Pay more taxes, get fewer public services. Not satisfied? Then pay out of your own pocket.

That's the playbook, folks. You've been warned.

NDP MLA David Shepherd held very little back as the UCP effectively fired the Auditor General in committee today…

Including highlighting that for a government under suspicion of covering up massive scandals, this only makes things look worse.

Ooooo!

Danielle Smith just issued a new set of rules for staff accepting gifts!

(Even though there’s questions about the last rules being followed)

And it has…

A notwithstanding clause!

Because UCP!

When asked if there were any conditions where he would support Smith’s pipeline dreams…

BC Premier David Eby reiterated the need to pursue real projects paid for by private investors, not taxpayers.

Guess Smith’s skybox tickets didn’t get her as far as she hoped?
