There was a time when government made legitimate attempts to consult and listen to Albertans on major policy decisions.
Now, the UCP is just going through the motions to push out whatever they want.
From a provincial pension to provincial police, no one voted for this. #ableg

I'm so looking forward to moderating this discussion tomorrow morning at Non-Profit Day 2025!
With how divisive politics has become in recent years, it is important to find ways to bridge the growing divides and have constructive political conversations.

In the article I wrote, I discussed the idea of purity testing being a major barrier to young men getting involved with the progressive movement.
To be clear, there is no place for -isms and -phobias in our movement.
But attitudes like this push these men away. #ableg 🧵

Did you know men between 18-44 make up 33.5% (987,420) of Alberta's eligible voting population?
Did you know that only 37-39% of them would vote for us today?

The infighting in the UCP is in full swing on the separatist question.
But this isn't a partisan issue. If you want the "Alberta Advantage" to leave forever, separatism is a surefire way to do that.

In her address on Monday, Premier Smith warned of those who "will seek to divide us" when speaking about her separatist agenda.
Here's the thing: there is only one side literally trying to divide us, and that is the Premier and the UCP themselves.
Separatism is division.

There's already lots of commentary about how both recovery and safe consumptions sites are both necessary and important tools we need. It isn't one or the other.
But this bill has a high risk of unintended consequences beyond the obvious, including more people on the street 🧵

So the provincial government has done exactly what the Alberta Law Foundation said they would, and then some (Bill 39)
Offsetting gov't financial obligations at the expense of non-profits is one of many examples of how the UCP just doesn't get it.
