How about Danielle call an election early 2026, and run on this platform!
So the Premier has finally stated her vision for AB: hand over our Social Safety Net to FOR-PROFITS, non-profits, and let Charity cover the leftovers.
Not a lot of profit in "Orphans and widows", so let's hope our religious charities really ramp up.
Let's check some facts🧵

Don't fear DEI - diversity, equity, and inclusion isn't a communicable disease. You won't go to sleep and wake up as a Black woman, be paid less, and have precarious healthcare. Nor will you wake up transgender & have no rights at all.
Equity isn't pie. If I get some, doesn't mean you'll get less.
