Ucp wasted millions…..so now hard working citizens pay for chaos.
When asked about the budget today...

Smith was pretty direct.

"We're wanting people to brace themselves"

FOM's Chris Gallaway sat down with Alberta Primetime to talk about Bill 11 & the threat it poses to our health care.

The AB government isn't just undermining our equitable access to health care, it's also putting our international trade agreements in jeopardy.

A Valentine for Canada: The Case For Alberta to Stay

@DuaneBratt argues that there are many, many reasons for Alberta to stay in Canada, and none that justify leaving.

Do you agree or disagree?

I read somewhere that Smith was "ungoverning"
In other words failing to govern, take control or do anything to fix our problems
It's neglect
This is a prime example
IMO, Smith & the UCP are neglecting to act on purpose
They want to destroy our healthcare
That's the plan

Let me be very clear: there are NO NEW Emerg docs to “recruit”. If govt can get their act together, the role would be existing EM docs doing extra shifts.

Even though we were blocked from parking in the empty parking lot, twenty five of us gathered to show our disapproval of Denial Smith and the right wing UCP’s policies. Besides myself @katfromthehat.bsky.social & @ofmanyfandoms.bsky.social also attended.

This is unacceptable. Nearly a month after promising "immediate" action, the UCP has delivered only silence. They are ghosting the AMA while preventable ER deaths continue. 📉 No meeting. No accountability. No response. 💔🩹 A heartless communications exercise.
