Danielle Smith’s “pipeline do-over” has no investors, no plan, just public money propping up a dying industry, experts warn.

Alberta’s new oil pipeline could cost billions and end up stranded as the world moves past fossil fuels.

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.

Bye, bye pipeline.

WOW!

Alberta just got another approved referendum petition!

And this one calls for the practice of funding private schools with public money to be put to an end!

During the teachers strike!

Strap in Alberta, we’re going on a ride!

Great. I’m sick of the corrupt UCP. Banning books, trying to destroy public healthcare, blaming immigrants, taking away LGBTQ rights and trying to favouring private schools. Enough. If it looks like a duck…they’re just like the US fascists Smith keeps bowing to.

There will be more demand on our health care system because the AB Government has put up roadblocks to getting a Covid Vaccine. More demand on the system from more sick people that ripples and affects all areas of acute care. #AxeTheVaxTax #ABleg #ABpoli The admin fee is a burden on families.

Poilievre launches an attack on the PM on the eve of a high-stakes meeting with a regime that wants to break our nation.
MAGA Pierre claims he will be open to talking with MAGA America.
His only other job experience was working at Dairy Queen (apparently).
Put a sock in it Pierre.

Yes when I heard they were providing lesson plans I was sure it would be some garbage from their American friends that did not align with our standards. UCP stupidity just never ends. Meanwhile death cult Dani is giving speeches in Montreal rather than working to solve the crisis at home.

The reviews are coming in on the UCP's American lesson plans they're offering parents while teachers are on strike...

From this Grade 1 teacher, not only do they not align with the UCP's curriculum...

They aren't even based in what most Grade 1 kids can do.

Nobody has ever claimed AHS was perfect...

But Smith's approach to healthcare has been to take a slightly injured patient (AHS) & dismember it.

We asked ER physician Dr. Paul Parks (@PfParks) if that's accurate.

Turns out it is, and some folks are getting very well paid!

When schools have stages with Grand Pianos they don’t need Public School Funds.

AB Public schools classes are over populated & some held in halls🤬

Why do these Private Schools need Public Funding.

When Webber Acadamy can pay to advertise on CTV Calgary they don’t need Public Funding.

No school with this much money needs Public Funding.
