A young Tory MP's name gets mentioned as someone ready to cross the floor. He goes to ground and then suddenly announces he is stepping down.
Young MPs just don't quit politics unless someone dumped a political horse head in the bed.

Privatized, for-profit healthcare that Canadian Conservatives & PC Premier Doug Ford want you to have instead of universal access healthcare. Big premiums, high deductibles and denial of medically recommended treatment. Don’t kid yourself, it would be exactly the same in 🇨🇦
When John Karadell was admitted to the hospital after a stroke, his doctors quickly pushed for him to begin an intensive form of rehabilitation — the sooner the better. But after 11 days in a hospital bed, Karadell said he learned his health insurer had denied coverage.

I feel for people impacted by these wildfires. And Scott Moe isn’t wrong; we need to invest in more firefighting resources to meet this new climate reality. But we also need to do much, much more to transition away from producing and burning fossil fuels. Our health and pocketbooks require it.

Con’s, helping wealth transfer to CEO’s while blaming Ottawa Lib’s.

The Con sale of Petro-Can didn’t benefit Ab tax payers, or any tax payer - neither do low royalty rates.

Meanwhile Premiers want HC transfers without strings

bsky.app/profile/shan...
The propaganda that Ottawa is root of all evil hurts AB.

Con’s sold off Petro Canada hurting the average tax payer and helped the CEO’s.

Tax payers were getting the profits.

Where would our country be if we didn’t sell Petro-Can to benefit CEO’s?

I remember election night 2015 and the overwhelming relief- like a boot taken off my chest- when Harper and the CPC were sent packing.

Get out and vote folks.

I wouldn’t wish the lost Harper years on anyone. That was a true dystopia. We’re still repairing.
