Danielle Smith’s right hand man is calling for respectful dialogue, persuasion and the avoidance of hyperbole.

So uh…

Yeah.

Look what private schools are advertising to lure teachers away from the public system. We give them money so they can offer a select few a premium experience.

I am so lucky to have gone to school in the 80s and 90s, when the Alberta government actually cared about public education and didn't fund private schools. Which meant I had an EA all 12 years of school

Anytime she opens her mouth, it is a lie. This should surprise no one

Smith, quoted by the CBC, misleads on equalization:

"Albertans are scratching their heads saying, 'Hmm, why are we running deficits when we're sending so much money to Ottawa so that they can give it to other provinces?"

Hey @daniellesmithab.bsky.social, if you really care about public education, you would stop giving funding to private schools. #abpoli #ableg #yeg #yyc #yql
Today in Alberta: In an update on class size and complexity initiative, premier Danielle Smith says her government will spend $143-million on supports to elementary schools with the highest complexity. Her plan is to deploy 476 complexity teams, made up of one teacher and two educational assistants.

Smith is lying if she says she is not a separatist 🤬
Today’s presser in a nutshell…

- similar promises to ER docs in waiting rooms but with teachers and EA’s…

- Neither Smith nor Nicolaides have signed the separatist petition (that’s three “no”’s!)

- The Sens(N)ationalist Post truly has no dignity.

@daniellesmithab.bsky.social needs to shut the fuck up. She is turning into the female version of Donald Trump, and I hate it
For someone who utilized the notwithstanding clause to rob teachers of their Charter rights, outrage over "cancel culture" is quite the stance...

But calling Brandt one of "Canada's greatest musicians"?

He used to be good, but "greatest"?

That's a reach.

@daniellesmithab.bsky.social is the Canadian version of Trump, and she needs to go and FUCK OFF. Canada and Alberta deserve better 🤬
The UCP can’t claim to be a party of law and order when they are the ones defunding police, downloading policing costs onto municipalities, threatening to withhold funding from the justice system, and undermining the rule of law and the Constitution at every opportunity.

It's time for the @daniellesmithab.bsky.social and the UCP to condemn this kind of behaviour. I don't want to live in Alberta, which allows this to become normalized #abpoli #ableg #yeg #yyc #yql
From the DM's...

(Via the FB)

This appears to be the "Second Sons", a white nationalist group organized by Jeremy McKenzie of Diagolon fame on a bridge in Alberta.

And it should be condemned universally.

So she wants Ottawa to stay in its own lane, but she's ok with not staying in her own lane. Smith needs to go and fuck off 🤬
Smith doubled down on her attack on the judiciary yesterday...

Not only reasserting she wants her govt to control what judges get to the bench...

But saying that it's fine because it wouldn't be her managing the process...

It would be Mickey Amery.

Her Justice Minister.

With rumors swirling about Smith lowering the standards for what it takes to become a teacher...

When asked about teachers and EA's, SMith made the stunning claim she used the notwithstanding clause to SAVE teachers.

Listen to the clip.

Don't forget the money that @daniellesmithab.bsky.social is taking away from disabled Albertans #abpoli #ableg #yeg #yyc #yql #FuckTheUCP #FuckSmith
I do hope that someone smarter than me in #ableg adds up how much money the UCP has wasted
I want to be prepared for when the budget drops and Smith tells us that we can't afford healthcare or education
Never mind that rich corporations pay less tax than the lowest paid private citizen

I've always said anytime Daniel Smith opens her mouth it is a lie to make her look good or the UCP look good they all need to go fuck off 🤬 #abpoli #ableg #yeg #yyc #yql #FuckSmith
First, the UCP said there was an “election integrity crisis," which led to a voter ID law.

Then a “national unity crisis” → a sovereignty referendum.

Now a “crisis of confidence” in the courts → defunding judges.

There is no evidence of these crises.

The UCP is trying to manufacture them.
