Alberta Does Not Have Grievances. It Has Issues

AB doesn’t need a new constitutional deal or separation.

It needs better politicians than Danielle Smith and Jason Kenney.

The Premier has ordered the termination and payout of over 15M in HC leadership alone since taking over.
This is obscene. Think of the frontline care this could have bought.

No clue who she thinks she's hurting with this threat, but it amounts to a direct attack on Albertans' access to justice.

If Premier Smith wants to choose senior judges, she should run for prime minister.

Tens of millions dismantling health care.

"The former executive said the government has replaced some experienced executives with former Alberta government bureaucrats who have no requisite health-related education and no operational experience, yet some are being paid 30 to 40 per cent more."

“data shows the government paid out about $29.45 million between 2019 and June 2025 to 150 former employees. But that figure doesn’t account for payouts made in the second half of 2025”

Remember the hypocrisy of Danielle Smith telling Albertans we can't afford net zero and the power grid would be at risk if forced to adopt EV's. A year later she's building out and pushing data centres which would consume more power than any EV's ever sold and used in Alberta. #abpoli

So if Alberta has RECORD oil production over 5.5M Bbls/day and is being penalized by Ottawa. Just reminder in 2015 the last day of the Harper gov production was about 4M Bbls/day. Yet you're complaining about being punished by Ottawa. In 2015 50,000 jobs were lost due to global price crash. HARPER

Take a read.

A national call to action.

"Governments at every level can no longer ignore the consequences of inaction."

"Failing to act is not neutrality. It is a decision."

Sometimes they make the news. Most of the time, they don’t.

Danielle Smith won’t “demonize” separatists courting foreign support — she validates them from the highest office. But trans youth and teachers? She reaches for the Notwithstanding Clause to silence them before they ever see a courtroom. Freedom, UCP-style. #ABpoli #ABleg #CDNpoli #TransRights
Infographic titled “Alberta’s Tale of Two Grievances,” comparing Premier Danielle Smith’s contrasting responses to two groups. Left column: “The Million Separatists,” with a photo of Smith and text quoting her saying she will not “demonize or marginalize” separatist supporters because they have legitimate grievances. The actions listed include granting them political validation and refusing to condemn meetings with U.S. State Department officials. Message: “Your feelings are valid; let’s talk.” Right column: “Trans Youth & Teachers,” with another photo of Smith and text stating she is using the Notwithstanding Clause to proactively silence grievances before they can reach a courtroom. Actions listed include using Section 33 to override the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and blocking legal challenges in advance. Message: “Your rights are a nuisance; let’s override them.” Bottom banner reads: “In Alberta, ‘Freedom’ is for those who want to leave Canada, but not for those who want to use the Canadian Charter,” with the word “Freedom” highlighted in gold.

Totally on point. She's a separatist. This "sovereign Alberta" within Canada makes it clear.

Sovereign: "possessing supreme or ultimate power."

Her continued use of the not withstanding clause emphasizes this point. No respect for Canadian law.

When I buy anything from the grocery store, I look for Product of Canada, this means it is entirely, or almost entirely, Canadian content (98% or more). I also buy locally made products, products from the UK, Australia, Scotland etc. #Canada
