The "Four Pools" analysis: Privatization isn't an antidote to corruption; it simply shifts the drain from cronyism to investor skimming and denied care. Maintaining a universal public system with standardized services is the only way to ensure the safety net remains a right rather than a whim.
infographic titled "SOCIAL SAFETY NET: THE FOUR POOLS," with the subtitle "Privatization & Charity Pools Don't Fix Corruption." The graphic uses four vertical plumbing systems (taps and pipes) to illustrate how resources flow into different social models. Universal Public System (Blue): A solid, leak-free pipe labeled with "Progressive Taxes," "Public Law & Policy," and "Public Audit & Oversight." It pours into a large pool labeled "Legal Entitlement" where many people are supported equally. Corrupt Government (Red): A pipe riddled with leaks and unauthorized valves. Labels include "Weak Oversight," "Rigged Contracts," and "Patronage & Grift." Funds are shown being "diverted to crony pockets." It leads to a fractured pool labeled "Neglected Citizens" where only a few wealthy figures sit comfortably while others are sidelined. For-Profit Privatization (Green): A pipe with various meters and valves labeled "Public Subsidies & User Fees," "Investor Accountability," and "Staff Cuts & Denied Care." It depicts "Executive Pay & Skimming." The pipe leads to a small, tiered pool labeled "Debt & Inequality" where a few people lounge in a higher, private tub while others struggle below. Charity/Faith-Based (Orange): A pipe with many small leaks and a manual hand-wheel. Labels include "Unelected Board Whims," "Hidden Internal Oversight," "High Fundraising Overhead," and "Volunteer Reliance." It pours into a small, unstable inflatable pool labeled "Reliance on Benevolence" where people are reaching up for help that is "not guaranteed." The bottom of the graphic contrasts the outcomes: The blue public system creates a foundation of "Legal Entitlement," while the others result in "Neglected Citizens," "Debt & Inequality," or "Reliance on Benevolence."

Alberta has basically been without a Medical Officer of Health. Now that a permanent one has been assigned I expect to see some PUBLIC HEALTH principles being applied in Alberta and #RecallSmith and #RecallLaGrange can step back from spouting anti-vax and anti public health rhetoric. #ABleg #ABpoli

The cycle is tiresome. #Ableg #ABpoli

Claiming to "protect women" while pushing AISH clawbacks, defunding education, & 2-tier healthcare is pure hypocrisy. Destroying democracy isn't "protection." These policies hurt everyone. The only thing they're protecting is their own grievance cycle.

Recall Them All A political satire infographic titled "RECALL THEM ALL ALBERTA." It features headshots of 24 UCP MLAs arranged in a 6x4 grid. Each headshot is framed by a green semicircular border. Above the grid is a legend: a green icon indicates "GATHERING SIGNATURES," a blue icon for "INITIAL PAPERWORK SUBMITTED," and a red icon for "TARGETED." Most MLAs, including Demetrios Nicolaides, Ric McIver, and Danielle Smith (who is wearing a small Santa hat), are marked with the green "gathering signatures" status. The top left corner notes data sources as operationtotalrecall.ca and Elections Alberta as of Dec 17, 2025. A small disclaimer on the right side reads: "THIS MEME IS POLITICAL SATIRE STYLE." The background consists of simple horizontal green lines, mimicking a ledger or tracking sheet. The recall games a reckoning is coming A dramatic, cinematic-style poster titled "THE RECALL GAMES: Alberta Edition." The background features a large, historic legislative building partially obscured by dark, stormy clouds and rising orange flames. In the center stands a woman with long, braided blonde hair and white feathered wings, holding a bow, resembling a warrior figure. Below her is a grid of 24 rectangles with red borders and green circles, representing a game board or tracking system. At the very bottom, bold white text against a black bar reads: "A RECKONING IS COMING." The image uses high-contrast lighting to create a sense of intense political drama and impending change. The Alberta Recall Advent Calendar A digital graphic titled "THE ALBERTA RECALL ADVENT CALENDAR" in bold black letters against a light gray background. Below the title is a red rectangular grid resembling a traditional advent calendar with 24 perforated doors. The first 17 doors are "open," revealing satirical 3D-style icons representing various UCP MLAs, including a moldy rotten apple (Nicolaides), a peach pit (Pitt), a "No Entry" symbol (Dyck), a red megaphone (Sigurdson), a ball of red yarn (Nally), and a red hardhat (Yaseem). Other visible symbols include an orange traffic cone, a rubber stamp, a suitcase with a fish, a "FAIL" stamp, and a MAGA-style hat. Above each open door, the last name of an MLA is printed in white. Doors 18 through 24 remain closed, showing only their numbers in gold script. At the bottom, the text reads: "24 days of reasons to return your MLA. Because some gifts—like rotten apples and lumps of coal—really should come with a Recall button." The Alberta Recall Flavour guide A graphic styled as a "Flavour Guide" insert for a box of chocolates, placed on a wooden surface with festive, blurred lights in the background. The title reads "THE ALBERTA RECALL ADVENT CALENDAR: FLAVOUR GUIDE." Below is a 6x4 grid of 24 squares, each containing a simple icon and a satirical "flavour" name. Examples include: a bitten apple labeled "ROTTEN CORE," a peach pit labeled "EMPTY PIT," a megaphone labeled "FALSE AMPLIFICATION," and a golden crown labeled "FALSE CROWN." The final row includes icons for a pink slip, a broken ballot box, a tin can, and a semi-truck. In elegant script, it says "Wishing you a Recall-filled Christmas!" followed by a bold footer: "THIS YEAR, GIVE THE GIFT OF A VACANT SEAT."

"SOCIAL SAFETY NET: THE FOUR POOLS," "PRIVATIZATION & CHARITY POOLS DON’T FIX CORRUPTION." UNIVERSAL PUBLIC SYSTEM: Structure: A solid, intact pipe with a steady flow of water. Processes: Input is "PROGRESSIVE TAXES," followed by "PUBLIC LAW & POLICY," "PUBLIC AUDIT & OVERSIGHT," and "STANDARDIZED SERVICES." Outcome: The water fills a large, inclusive pool of people. The bottom label is "LEGAL ENTITLEMENT." CORRUPT GOVERNMENT (Red Pipe): Structure: A broken pipe with multiple leaks and side-taps labeled "WEAK OVERSIGHT," "RIGGED CONTRACTS," and "PATRONAGE & GRIFT." Processes: Input is "PROGRESSIVE TAXES." The final step is "DIVERTED FUNDS & CRONY POCKETS," showing water being siphoned into a bucket for a single individual. Outcome: The main flow is diminished, landing in a fractured pool where people are separated by barriers. The bottom label is "NEGLECTED CITIZENS." FOR-PROFIT PRIVATIZATION: Structure: A complex pipe with various mechanical valves and meters used to divert flow. Processes: Input is "PUBLIC SUBSIDIES & USER FEES." Steps include "INVESTOR ACCOUNTABILITY," "HIDDEN OVERSIGHT & PROFIT MOTIVES," "STAFF CUTS & DENIED CARE," and "HIGH-RISK FINANCE & FUTURE COSTS." Outcome: "EXECUTIVE PAY & SKIMMING" diverts water to a small private pool, leaving "TWO-TIER ACCESS & REDUCED QUALITY" for the rest. The bottom label is "DEBT & INEQUALITY." CHARITY FAITH-BASED : Structure: A narrow, unstable-looking pipe with multiple small faucets that spray water inconsistently. Processes: Input is "APPEAL-DRIVEN DONATIONS & GRANTS." Steps include "UNELECTED BOARD WHIMS," "HIDDEN INTERNAL OVERSIGHT," "DISCONNECTED SERVICES," and "HIGH FUNDRAISING OVERHEAD." Outcome: Due to "VOLUNTEER RELIANCE & BIAS RISK," the "HELP NOT GUARANTEED" pipe produces only a drip. Several pairs of hands reach up out of a small puddle. The bottom label is "RELIANCE ON BENEVOLENCE."

The "Alberta Advantage" is becoming the advantage of starving faster. Alberta food bank use is up 134% since 2019. The UCP's fix? Move from a Public System to For-Profit extraction and Charity "leftovers."
Privatization & charity don't fix the pipes; they just leak the water. #AbLeg #ABpoli #CDNpoli

Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a historian specializing in authoritarianism, has weighed in on the "Font Coup." She identifies micromanaging as another sign displayed by fascists. Given that the #RecallSmith regime is defined by micromanagement, it is reasonable to expect the "font coup" to come to Alberta soon.
