Bessent pushes Albertan independence from Canada: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."

Despite journalists explicitly being told they weren't allowed to ask questions about it...

One did ask about the leaked document detailing deaths and suffering due to the collapse of the system.

Matt Jones seemed to minimize it in a number of ways.

This is, in my opinion, not only the correct moral/ethical/legal position but also the correct political framing. Everyone can see the agency is out of control; everyone can see that it is constantly violating human rights. "Scrap it and start over" is the moderate position.

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

To the Premier:
1 - Declare the crisis is real.
2- Declare who will publicly lead and manage the coordinated provincial response
3 - Empower them to act on a provincial scale immediately.

Seeing more and more weighing in about how the GNH Triage nurse/ED team should be held to personal account makes me realize that the avg AB just doesn’t understand what an utter dumpster fire our major EDs have been for months/yrs.

So the UCP knew that the sole sourced contract to a company with multiple previous government employees was sketchy and questionable…

And they went ahead with it anyway.

Danielle Smith will do whatever it takes to avoid accountability for the CorruptCare scandal.

Enough is enough.

The Premier needs to call an independent public inquiry so Albertans get the answers we deserve.

A few companies have made a great deal of money under the Alberta Recovery Model and there's little to show that they have actually delivered on the outcomes Albertans expect. Are people's health outcomes better off with a two-tier, American-style healthcare? The answer is almost always NO.

Nenshi - So are you messing with recall or what's the deal?

Smith - Yeah, we're making some changes on Thursday, but what I really want to talk about is how much the NDP hurt the coal companies.

For real. That was her pivot.

It’s no surprise that over a third of the UCP caucus has recall petitions filed against them. Scandal after scandal has left people exhausted with this government.

Danielle Smith, invoking the notwithstanding clause (twice, so far), is her way of putting the blame on the feds for us having human rights.

Remember when Danielle Smith condemned the "arrogance" of a government for passing laws in a matter of days?

Now she's rammed through a law stripping teachers' charter rights in a single day.

Seems the "democratic process" no longer matters to her now that she's in power.

Where's the premier while MLAs rush through an all-night debate on stripping Albertans of their Charter rights?

An airport lounge, waiting for a flight to Saudi Arabia. She didn't even bother to show up for the vote.

I remember when conservatives turfed premiers for this level of hubris.

Seconds after proposing a "complexity cap" instead of addressing class sizes, Smith was asked what that means...

Her response?

"I don't know"

So we're back to doing complex policy via "Dani free associates words" again.

This is a must-watch message from Nenshi. He’s calm, introspective, and clearly knows how to focus on the right things. I hadn’t seen the clip of Smith’s angry diatribe before; it rattled me too. You can feel the reactive, self-centered ire in her voice, and she shows an obvious lack of leadership.
The more I think about the Premier's comments, the more shocked I am.

Public servants aren’t above criticism, and her behaviour was insensitive and unbelievably entitled.

Albertans deserve better.
The people of Jasper deserve better.
