“Never before has a Canadian politician shared so much disinformation unchecked. As Pierre Poilievre tries to weasel his way back into Parliament, our legacy media still refuses to call out his lies or question his ties to Canada Proud, who ran disinformation campaigns targeting our prime minister.”

~15 million a month the UCP is grifting off of vulnerable people that often can't even afford food.
With 77,000 people on AISH, the UCP stands to take 15,400,000 a month with money that is supposed to be helping lift disabled Albertans a little more out of poverty.

They’re taking $15 million a month away from some of Alberta’s most vulnerable.

~Smith has discovered she can’t keep a lid on a brewing scandal.

It is boiling over into somewhat of a political mutiny. Not enough of one at this point to capsize her leadership, but an insurrection nonetheless.

"Pierre Poilievre is an angry teenager in the body of a grown man. He made his name on sneering, incivility, insults, over-the-top accusations and utter meanness. He’s the angriest person on Canada's political stage, and the nastiest leader of a major party in this country's history.”
