UCP convention crowd: LOUD BOOS
Danielle Smith tried to sell her federal-Alberta energy deal to the UCP convention crowd: tepid applause.
She told them that this proved Canada can work well for Alberta’s interests: loud boos.

This ain’t a base that wants Smith to work with a Liberal PM on a better industrial carbon tax.

No one should be under any illusions about who the base of the UCP are.

Separatists and far-right radicals have been given care and feeding by UCP Premiers since 2019. One got thrown overboard because it wasn’t enough. Catering hasn’t mollified them either.

Almost like the UCP is basically anti-Canada

Danielle Smith has already used the notwithstanding clause to remove workers', parents', and patients' rights to choose.

It's not hard to see where the road is leading. The UCP has given a roadmap, for those who need the help.

Let's be clear about what happened today.

Premier Smith introduced a bill to strip Albertans of Charter rights,

denied MLAs the opportunity to debate it and the courts the ability to scrutinize it,

and did all of this from her seat on a jet to Saudi Arabia.
The UCP government has invoked time allocation and on a bill removing Albertans' Charter rights.

And they're using the notwithstanding clause to do it.

Here's why that is a dangerous precedent. And why real conservatives need to stand up against it.

Wondering why voter turnout is so low in this year's Alberta municipal elections?

It's by design: the UCP wanted to pick its voters. 👇

Will the voter suppression work electorally in their favour?

The UCP wants to replace "Wild Rose Country" with "Strong and Free" on provincial license plates.

The minister responsible said caucus, alone, decided on the change. And that the move was "clearly non-partisan".

Here's the official party logo.

You be the judge.

We are told that Charlie Kirk was "doing politics the right way" by going to universities to speak his mind.

We are told that universities do not allow people with Charlie Kirk's views to speak their minds.

It is odd to be told both those things.

It’s pretty simple:

- AI is driving electricity demand up

- The Trump Administration is restricting new electricity supply from being built

- When demand goes up and supply goes down, you pay more for electricity.
Breaking News: The Trump administration ordered construction to stop on a $4 billion wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island that has already mostly been built.

The order to stop construction on Revolution Wind off the coast of Rhode Island is part of a campaign against renewable energy.
