Good News Alberta! 📰

With Rebecca Schultz staying on as an MLA until May, my UCP has ensured there will be no early election.

And since Albertans aren’t getting active by signing recall petitions they will have two more years of UCP corruption! 🥳

See? It's not about stealing Venezuela's oil.

It's about Donald Trump getting rich off that stolen oil.

“Jenny Yeremiy, in an interview Tuesday, said she thinks the petition has garnered about 6,000 signatures since the end of October.

It needs another 10,000 in the next two weeks to force a constituency-wide vote”

11 months ago the #UCP thought the solution would be to create more bureaucracy & “govt oversight”. Typical UCP to have the most life critical & complicated system in the province overseen/run by a bunch of clowns instead of actual competent medical professionals.
How have we sunk so low?

Here is an excellent podcast from CBC on the crisis in #Alberta emergency rooms. It’s an absolute s**t show made worse since Dani & the #UCP were going to “fix” healthcare in 90 days.

Also attached is the transcript.

We have learned that over the next few days, Acute Care AB will be cancelling elective surgeries in Edmonton due to unsafe patient volumes.

Those who have advocated for safe patient ratios and offered to work with the gov't are being given pink slips.

But in #Alberta the Covid vaccine can somehow cause more potential harm. 🙄
That’s why the #UCP government made it as hard as possible to get the vaccine this year.
Gawd I live in a province governed by stupid people.

Stephen Miller, who wants the U.S. to steal Greenland and shake down Latin America, says: ”We live in a world … that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”
That‘s a criminal pretending that a civilized world is impossible.

I still don't think Devin was telling the truth, that the majority of Albertans agree we need to increase speed limits on highways & I want the GoA to end the ban on photo radar.
