No English-language description of government is harsher or more comprehensive than "kakistocracy" for signifying the presence of the utterly unfit at the helm.
But when describing Smith and the UCP it just doesn't seem harsh enough.

Bald Eagle perched in dead spruce tree at Victoria Quay in Port Alberni, B.C. Canada.
A great shot but not the greatest image due to distance and high noise.

Understand:
Teachers are fighting for funding to SAFEGUARD effective public education for ALL.
2 Billion is what the safeguards cost.
BECAUSE #UCP has neglected & deliberately underfunded public education while siphoning tax $ into private schools for the FEW.

There's a photo of a young boy circulating on #UCP social media accounts. The caption on the post says a boy's parents were lost to addiction; got help with treatment & recovery. The mom of the boy in the photo says the caption information is not true. #Propaganda #AbPoli

@naheednenshi.bsky.social and the Alberta NDP get your act together. Your messaging needs to be much, much better.
I’m just gonna put this out there for the #ableg crowd:
Peter Guthrie is absolutely killing it with his messaging. His posts in support of teachers tonight were clear, absent of rhetoric, on point. And he’s getting amplification.
NDP needs to get it together. Their coms are abysmal.

For someone who is forever telling others to say in their lane Ms. Smith does an awful lot of lane wandering.
Danielle Smith needs to stop trying to govern people's healthcare and bodily autonomy.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said Wednesday those who question her rationale for the government’s law restricting health care for transgender youth need to read up on puberty.

Important information to counter the constant stream of disinformation from Danielle Smith and the UCP.
We all know disinformation in health care is problematic. Statements in a recent government news conference reminded us we need to help clarify for Albertans where certain accountabilities really rest. It’s time for another Fact Checkup.

Danielle Smith’s “citizenship ID” isn’t about elections.

Absolutely this. Far too many of us these days seem to be only interested it what benefits them.
it should be obvious, but

in general I think more people should accept that not everything in a city has to be *for you* in order to be beneficial, the whole magic of cities is that they cater to lots of different people in lots of different situations
