FACT FOCUS: Democrats did not shut down the government to give health care to 'illegal immigrants'

This is false. Democrats say they are pushing for the inclusion of key health care provisions in the next congressional spending package.

The Premier of AB thinks that the feds have no power to act in the national interest when it comes to EIAs, GHG emissions & plastics, but that the feds have not just the power but the duty to afford AB access to BC's tidewater?
I have news for Ms Smith.
There is no such duty.

What a crazy coincidence

A screenshot of two contrasting news headlines with light blue text highlights and selection dots. Top headline says workers lost 3.7 trillion in earnings during the pandemic, with women and Gen Z seeing the biggest losses. Below, another headline says the worlds billionaires became richer by 3.9 trillion during the pandemic, emphasizing inequality.

Every journalist should have the following response prepared for every time they speak with Premier Danielle Smith:

“With respect, Premier, that did not answer my question. What you provided was a justification aligned with your predetermined position, not a direct response."
