It is so discouraging to live in Alberta. That’s all. Like a whack-a-mole out of control. Create the repeal act, defund the repeal act. Say they will fund students, change the rules again. #helpAB #ConservativesRunningScared #FundPublicSchool #SaveWater #RepealRepealshahaha #DumpDani

How could the UCP make a bad problem worse? By changing recall laws as recalls are being filed across the province.
Keep Bill 2 as is and they'll lose in 2027. Change recall legislation so it's harder to recall them and they'll lose badly.

Keep your eyes on Operation Total Recall (linked below). This is certain to raise the hackles of the UCP braintrust, as the efforts are gaining traction. There are now a great many motivated volunteers in Alberta, willing to gather signatures. The UCP may yet reap what they've sown. #ABpoli
Just over the weekend, 15 UCP MLAs have been targeted by constituents motivated to recall them, with at least two more starting the process.

Today, I submitted 456,365 Albertans’ signatures to Elections Alberta, petitioning the Premier to do the right thing, avoid a divisive and economically harmful referendum, and allow MLAs to vote and reaffirm that Alberta’s future is in Canada.🇨🇦

At this point the Charter is just words on paper tbh
Not sure if the political science literature covers cases where one province in a democratic federal system becomes a hybrid regime, but I think that's what we're seeing in Canada as Alberta sees astonishing democratic backsliding under the UCP.

Danielle Smith's entire focus is on placating her rabid, socially conservative (& separatist) base. She cares not for what actually makes fiscal or medical sense. She makes up false rationale for the directions she forces on the Alberta public. Please, just quit it with the lies and spin Premier!
"The Alberta Medical Association's model suggests a reduction in the number of Albertans vaccinated could cost the system millions of dollars. Exactly how much depends on a number of variables." Money invested in a well-run, efficient vaccination program saves the system money” #AxeTheVaxTax #ABpoli

What about the 3 strike rule for a Prov. Gov't? Three cock ups this week for the UCP! Covid vaccine roll-out/availability, forced civic election complications, and ham-fisted unveiling of the Wyant Report (which DID NOT absolve Smith). This is NO serious Gov't and it should be turfed from office.
