Smith and the UCP need to go and FUCK OFF 🤬

Canadian In Alberta @canadianinalberta.bsky.social · 14h

This "Eby goes off the rails" statement is wild

Smith is putting at risk billions of dollars worth of projects that he's been working on

He sounded frustrated to me
& I know how he feels

Smith is, was, and will always be, an embarrassment to Albertans

B.C. NDP premier David Eby goes off the rails, accuses Smith of bringing Trump to Canada via pipeline. An unhinged attack far beyond the earlier pipeline battle. Column. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #yyc #yeg #bcpoli #yyc #yeg

“I ain’t dead yet!” The dearly beloved Dolly Parton creates a “proof of life” video, assuring those who adore her that, even though she is dealing with some things, she is fine and still going strong 💛

Long live Dolly Parton ✨📚

The CPC can f*ck all the way off with this fascist BS

This is a slippery slope

If the CPC want to follow Trump I suggest they move to the US

Love it
I can't wait to sign

But what I love the most is that regular Albertans are using Smith's pro-separatist legislation against her

Elections Alberta has approved a citizen-initiated petition application to gather signatures in support of the proposal to end public funding to independent/private schools.

Calgary teacher Alicia Taylor says she brought it forward because it could help improve funding for public schools. #AbEd

Alberta teacher prompts petition on province's private school funding | CBC News

If high school chemistry teacher Alicia Taylor gets her wish, Albertans will vote in a referendum on whether to end public funding for independent schools.

Today, I’m off on the #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus to Wetaskiwin, Ponoka, Lacombe, Calmar and Leduc.

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

See you there!!!

Evan! 🙌

Feeling so inspired and hopeful after meeting with Evan Li. What an incredible young man.

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

Today, and every day, we stand with students and we stand with teachers.

Great NEWS for #ForeverCanadian

Court agreed that canvassers’ affidavits are not required. No one should have to pay for participating in a democratic process.

Now you can hand in your petitions without affidavits.

Thank you Elections Alberta for agreeing with this decision.

Pardon my language but this video is a fuc*ing political abortion.
Poilievre is literally stoking fear and terror for political gain.

This bill he’s talking about runs afoul of the Charter and numerous SCC rulings.

Enough is enough.
I’m sick of crap like this tearing the country apart.

If we accept the $100 admin fee then we accept another step in the privatization of healthcare in Alberta. The cost is a burden on families and other and a TAX. #AxeTheVaxTax #ABleg #ABpoli

lets slap a $100 charge on covid shots , private health care test run done.

It’s become pretty clear at this point that the Poilievre blueprint for Canada— pushed even harder by Jivani and Kuruc, is the carbon copy of “Project 2025” in the USA we’re seeing under the GOP and Trump.

That’s Canada’s future if we aren’t careful.

Watching without sound you just know everything she is saying is fake. This woman lies so easily.

The Breakdown AB @thebreakdownab.bsky.social · 5d

With no apparent public apology from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for completely fabricating a story about a child and his parents…

It seemed like a good time to re-up her philosophy on how to deal with mistakes and accountability.
