“I will never pander to separatists.”

Ok, I’m in.

The best way to send Danielle Smith packing is to send the NDP to the legislature. And while the best way to do that is to vote them in, they need our support in our time and our $$s to make it happen.
Albertans want to bring back the Alberta advantage – an affordable life, fairness, and opportunity.

Lauren, a high school social studies teacher, is putting it all on the line to demand better from the UCP.

Better classrooms.
Better support.
Better public education.

All for Alberta's kids.

Thank you, Lauren.

One of the more amazing parts of this interview is when Smith openly conflates Trump's agenda with not only her own, but Poilievre's.
~Here is the full Breitbart interview confirming Smith asked the U.S. adminstration to "put things on pause" to help Poilevre get elected as PM as she believes he aligns with Trump on many issues and the "new direction of America."

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Happy National Flag Day! 60 years ago we raised our flag for the first time.

This flag stands for a place where everyone is welcome. Regardless of whether your family has been here thousands of years or whether you’ve just arrived, it’s a reminder that you belong here.

Four days it took her to say anything. And then she says … she will do nothing. 

Not good enough. Her own office is implicated. The investigation can’t be delivered to the people being investigated. How dumb does she think Albertans are? /1

Danielle Smith's government allegedly fired the AHS CEO and the Board after they started looking into the legality of contracts for private surgeries that could enrich companies with strong ties to the UCP government and staff.

They did all of this with YOUR tax dollars.

As he has said all along, President Trump has issued tariffs that will wreak havoc on the Canadian economy, attacking the single most important trade relationship Canadians have with the world.

These tariffs will have a devastating impact on our jobs, our economy, and our way of life. /1

This is a shameful day for the province.

We are spending billions on a line that no one will ride, and admitting that their elevated alignment is impossible and never will be built.

The tools and tactics of modern politics mean saying something once is enough for your opponent to make it look like you say it all the time. Pundits, journalists and voters need to be alert.
