What’s happening inside the Conservative Party under Pierre Poilievre isn’t normal turbulence. It’s institutional decay disguised as discipline. It's a flashing red light signaling rot, with a party on the brink of combustion.

This isn't a political party; it's a cult. #cdnpoli

IMO
Danielle Smith's power comes from convincing Albertans that they have an enemy in Ottawa
If she didn't distract Albertans with her Ottawa-is-to-blame schtick she'd actually have to fix our problems
& fixing our problems would get in the way of her corruption

When conservatives are in government, both federal and provincial, they never have money for healthcare or education
But...
They have all sorts of money for corporate welfare

If you don't believe me look at Smith and the UCP

Axe the Vax Tax: Health Shouldn’t Come With a Price Tag
Charging for vaccines means fewer people get protected. Families living paycheck to paycheck will skip vaccines. Workers will get sick, especially health care and education workers.

“5 nuggets buried in Tuesday's budget

These measures could impact the lives of many Canadians”

1. Advance notice of bank branch closures

2. Long-term care costs for veterans

3. Canada Post to set its own rates

4. Stricter rules for predatory debt advisors

5. Easier cashing of cheques

Sounds as if the UCP will soon pull the plug on its recall election, now that government MLAs are on the receiving end - Alberta Politics
It sure sounds as if Danielle Smith’s United Conservative Party will soon rip a page from the Book of Depression era Social Credit premier William Aberhart and repeal the province’s recall legislation...

The UCP are happy to extend the contract for a private surgical company connected to the CorruptCare scandal…

…but not for the Auditor-General who’s investigating it.

Because the most power-hungry Premier & government in Canada isn’t in this for Albertans - they’re in this for themselves. #abpoli

Having heard that teachers are exhausted and under resourced to provide mandated standardized testing…

Nicolaides today…

Introduced more standardized testing!

And gave himself access to your kids specific personal information!

Today Elections Alberta requested $13.5 million to be able to administer recalls and referendum.

The UCP committee in charge revised their request to just over $1 million.

And then voted it through.

The UCP just defunded recall/referendum.

NDP MLA David Shepherd held very little back as the UCP effectively fired the Auditor General in committee today…

Including highlighting that for a government under suspicion of covering up massive scandals, this only makes things look worse.

Poilievre won’t say how he’ll vote on the federal budget — but he’s happy to blame Liberals for the deficit 👀

CBC reminds us: the biggest deficit in Canadian history came under Harper, with Poilievre in cabinet.

Ooooo!

Danielle Smith just issued a new set of rules for staff accepting gifts!

(Even though there’s questions about the last rules being followed)

And it has…

A notwithstanding clause!

My oldest works with special needs kids in the public school system

When you have over 30 kids in a kindergarten class, 10 with special needs, kids are going to fall through the cracks

Those kids grow up to be adults who can't read

The teachers were trying to save their future

Anytime anyone claims that Smith used the Notwithstanding clause in a way that Peter Lougheed would have approved of…

Feel free to share this from his 1998 paper that makes it clear that absolutely isn’t the case.
