I know the UCP line is “healthcare like Europe” but these people don’t have a collectivist bone in their bodies. In the European countries they’re nodding to, taxes support a well-funded public system alongside a well-regulated private one. The UCP won’t do that.

We can't leave this to the teachers
They need our support

Spend $50 a week on Canadian-made products and keep billions flowing back into our communities.
Take a minute and look where the product is from - buy the Canadian option.

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

They also say nobody in Canada will ride a bike or use a bike lane in winter. Many liars.
This is the Canadian Premier League soccer finals and we have a bicycle kick goal in the middle of a blizzard … and that’s the most Canadian thing I’ve ever seen 😂

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

We need to keep seeing threads like this. The next Alberta election is 2 yrs away and we can’t let the track record of this UCP government fade.
Keeping up with the UCP government's democratic transgressions can be difficult.
But not impossible.
Here’s a running list since Danielle Smith became premier. 🧵👇

Whoa whoa whoa! Despite repeated calls from Albertans that we don't want a provincial police force, and despite a travelling road show where they were supposedly going to "weigh their options," they're moving forward with it right away anyways? Colour me shocked. #ABleg #Alberta

In 2004, Klein knew it was a problem.
In 2019 we knew it was a problem.
The only reason they say they didn't know is because they didn't care to measure.
