To anyone who regrets voting for the UCP.

Sign the Forever Canadian petition to put a stop to Danielle Smith’s ‘Alberta Next’ separation-fuelled garbage.

“You are allowed to say, at any point, I can’t support this. Even if you did. Even if you were unsure. You can say “this has gone too far.” And while the best time to say that was earlier, the second best time is now.”

This is the teenager that Danielle Smith’s “Alberta Next” moderator cut off and said ‘his parents should have spanked him more.’

Assuming the UCP wants to bring back corporal punishment as well as banking books.
