~From 2012: Danielle Smith's 'feed tainted meat to the hungry' tweet.

It makes me wonder if she'd serve it in her restaurant?

Just a reminder…

The initial shipment was sent to hospitals because it lacked the safety requirements to be on public shelves.

But it’s cool to ship to a war ravaged country?

This isn’t the PR win they think it is…

So Alberta only ever used 13,700 of the 1.5 million bottles that we ordered and paid $20.4 million for...

And then we wrote it all off?

And we're looking to offload it to the Ukraine?

Trump used a large military plane to deport 9 immigrants at a cost of well over $209,000. This is a ridiculous waste of money that Elon must have missed when he was busy pillaging the government.

This shouldn’t surprise us, as few years ago Danielle Smith wanted to donate tainted meat to food banks.

Danielle Smith, Ukraine is not a dumping ground for your mistakes and dangerous fake Tylenol!

Just considering dumping this unsafe product on already victimized Ukrainian children is abhorrent!

Smith when asked about the RCMP investigation into the corrupt care scandal...

"The main dispute is about whether or not we should have alternative service providers giving services to Albertans or not"

No Dani.

It's about concerns of corruption.

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit.

The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

One reason why I think respectability is stupid is because it's often used as a mask. Such judgements are rarely about the clothes themselves, but more often about the bodies beneath them. To wit, no one raised an issue when Elon wore a graphic t-shirt and ball cap to meet the Trump cabinet.

Political opponents in Ukraine, and those abroad, will be exerting pressure on president Zelenskyy to step down.

Doing so, would be a win for Putin and an ego boost for Trump.

Zelenskyy is still best positioned to lead #Ukraine.
