Forced change is lazy change. The "all-in" gambit is a sign of strategic bankruptcy, not visionary leadership.

Seeing political misinformation can make you want to fire off a comment. That engagement fuels the algorithm, spreading the lie further.

Smear campaigns aren't bargaining. Lies aren't negotiation. Spending public money to attack public servants isn't leadership. It's the desperate act of a premier who knows she's in the wrong. Shame on you, @ABDanielleSmith. Get back to the table. #abed #ableg

Your tax dollars are funding Daniel Smith's lies. While she cries poor at the bargaining table, she's spending a fortune on a smear campaign against the very teachers she refuses to deal with in good faith. This isn't fiscal responsibility—it's a pathetic, costly tantrum. #abed #ableg

Daniel Smith's UCP is burning public funds on a smear campaign against the teachers who held this province together. Instead of negotiating in good faith, she lies and launches attack ads. A disgusting new low from a government with no plan and no shame. #ableg #abed

#UnemploymentCrisis
Alberta’s unemployment rate is 8.4%—the second highest in Canada. Smith’s separatist rhetoric and policy chaos are driving away jobs. #AbEconomy #SmithsAlberta

Danielle Smith's book ban achieved its goal: high-order chaos. The news is dominated by a manufactured crisis, forcing binary "for kids or for porn" argument pitting Albertans against each other. Meanwhile, healthcare fails, schools need funding, and insider deals. Mission accomplished. #AbLeg

Let's call the Alberta Gov's "book ban" what it really is: rage farming. It's a manufactured crisis designed to divide us over a non-issue, while ignoring the real problems in our schools. #ableg #abed #bookban

OPEC's expansion hurts Alberta: prices drop, jobs vanish, Smith has no plan. Her refusal to diversify killed $33B in green projects. 82% of us want a real energy transition. She's driving us off a cliff. #UCP #abpoli #abeconomy #danielleSmith

#AlbertaNextSham
Smith’s “Alberta Next” panel is a divisive farce. Scripted rallies, extremist rhetoric—all while healthcare crumbles. An embarrassment. #abpoli #ableg #UCPlies #ucppropoganda

Smith’s government is privatizing our healthcare while lying about "protecting it"! She's been exposed political interference in AHS to favor private contracts, risking affordable care for families. Smith now forces people to pay COVID vaccines and cutting transparency for minister expenses. #ableg

#PublicTrust: Erosion of Accountability
Smith’s silence on scandals and deflection via "third-party investigations" undermine trust in governance. For families, this means less faith that their bread-and-butter issues are being addressed. #Accountability #ABpoli

While global factors play a role, Smith’s policies (e.g., antagonism toward federal programs) could worsen inflation for essentials like food and gas. Families around the kitchen table are feeling the pinch. #CostOfLiving #ABpoli
September 7, 2025 at 5:57 PM
Smith’s sovereignty agenda and separatist rhetoric (e.g., threatening Alberta’s exit from Canada) risks destabilizing investment and economic stability. For households, this could mean higher energy prices and reduced job security—classic kitchen table concerns. #ABpoli #Economy

Her book ban backfired, so she threatened schools for "vicious compliance." True authoritarians punish those who follow their own vague rules. #ABLeg

Smith’s government orders school boards to remove 'sexually explicit' books, then calls it 'vicious compliance' when classics like The Handmaid’s Tale end up on the list. This isn’t about protecting kids—it’s about politicizing education. #BookBan #Censorship"

Remember when Danielle Smith promised a $760 tax cut per person? Now she says we might get half in 2026—just in time for the next election. Meanwhile, she’s hinting at deficits. So much for 'your money, not the government’s.' #BrokenPromises #SmithMath
September 3, 2025 at 6:08 PM
Danielle Smith hits on Quebec, Alberta's real crises are here: highest insurance rates, soaring energy bills, lowest education funding, underfunded healthcare, and a worsening homelessness crisis.

Demand better leadership that prioritizes Albertans,not distractions. #AbLeg #AbPoli #DanielleSmith

Smith’s “overtaxed” lie hides the truth: she’s defunding schools and AISH to fund vanity projects while blaming Ottawa. #ABLeg #UCP #SmithBetrayal #AISH #CDNPoli

Remember when Alison Redford resigned over $338k. Danielle Smith is being investigated for over $747 million in scandals, yet the UCP protects her. Buried audits, fired whistleblowers, and your tax dollars being redirected. When did we become so numb to this? There are steps you can take! #abpoli

Trump just killed US-CA trade talks over our digital tax.
Same script. We won’t cave to TACO theatrics.
His EU threats? ☠️ in 72hrs.
G7 ultimatum? 💨 Expired.
This "walkout"? Just leverage for July 9 tariffs.
Canada’s move: Stand firm. Tax stays.
Let the tantrum fizzle. Again.
