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.

I’ve been looking for a new TWSBI, my favourite colour is blue, and my birthday is in May (making me a Gemini). Coincidence? I think not. #fountainpen

Hope this bites the UCP in the ass :).
Changes are also coming to the Recall Act, with a number of changes making the process faster, allowing MLAs to respond, and changing the formula from 40% of electors, to 60% of the number of voters who cast ballots in the most recent election.

Kenney calling Polievre the “most effective leader in our lifetime” AS HE LOSES HIS SEAT. Truly, WHY is he there??

Can we start fundraising to send a U-haul to Pierre’s overnight? I’ll throw in an extra 20 if you promise to start honking at 7 a.m. #packyourshit

Jason Kenney being allowed to speak on his great relationship with “pro-resource First Nations” during his time as premiere is an absolute joke. Absolute shame on CBC for giving him a seat.

The UCP broke their promise to Albertans.
In December, they pledged to protect Eastern Slopes w/ new coal policy. Yesterday, they opened them to #coalmining before policy developed.
This shows why we can’t trust them w/ our public lands.

Turns out my true self eats like a shrew (6 x my body weight per day in handfuls of nuts, every time I pass the pantry), wearing sweatpants and routinely muttering “who created this rubric? . . . oh, shit, that was me.”
It’s in the doldrums of grading you meet your true self.
