Alberta NDP MLA Marlin Schmidt says despite MAGA Energy owing $200K in unpaid municipal taxes, the company was granted 170 well leases. AER refused to show MLAs their reasons for granting the licences. No documentation was provided. #abpoli #Energy

Lorne Gunter is incorrect. Giving patients unfettered access to lab tests pluse MRIs and CTs without clinical indication will lead to more incidental findings that require further publicly funded testing which will INCREASE healthcare costs. edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column… via

Galen Weston Jr owns Loblaw, ShoppersDrugMart is worth 19 billion today. He said he could not afford to pay employees $15/ hour because it would cut into his profits. At the time he was worth 8.82 billion, today he's worth 19 billion. This is why Canadians go to food banks.

WOW, WOW, WOW 🤯 Homelessness exploding. ERs breaking. Families drowning in costs. Doug Ford buys… a $28.9 MILLION private jet. They’ll tell you there’s “no money” for people. Just not for YOU.

The reckless arrogance of the UCP should serve as a warning to ABns. There is no attempt to self correct when rightfully challenged. Instead there is defiance. A belief that they are untouchable. They have zero respect for ABns, even their supporters. #FireTheUCP #ableg

The only democracy the UCP believes in is one that they direct from the Premier’s office. A group of MLAs picked by the premier should not be able to draw the electoral maps or manipulate them in their favour. This is rigging. This is cheating. This is unacceptable. #AbLeg

Danielle Smith doesn’t have any children, and I don’t get the feeling that she’s ever spent much time around any children. Certainly not in schools. This ‘earn your way into inclusion’ by ‘learning to self-regulate’ makes me SO angry. 1/6

Alberta is mobilizing. You are not alone. Volunteer with Forever Canada, Canvass for the Coal Petition, organize an AFL day of action or attend a local landowners' town hall. If you don't know what to do, email [email protected]

The two UCP-appointed commissioners refused to sign the official report and submitted their own map instead. Their version slices Calgary, Lethbridge, Airdrie, and Red Deer into sprawling shapes that mix urban and rural areas. These maps have one purpose: to dilute votes. /8

Now is the moment to GET LOUD: Email the Premier. Call every UCP MLA. Share this thread. Don't let Danielle Smith and the UCP steal your voice and rig the election.

The UCP has not used the notwithstanding clause carefully. They have used it preemptively, only on laws they know violate rights and freedoms listed in the charter.

If you perform yard cleanup this (gorgeous) weekend, you're committing pollinator-cide. It's not time yet. The bugs and bees are still sleeping. Leave your leaves and delay yard cleanup until it warms up consistently. Don't kill the bees.

Thank you Leader Lewis for raising with Prime Minister Carney the urgent need to "stop the privatization of health care by dusting off and actually enforcing the Canada Health Act". We need to stand up for average Canadians. Avi Lewis Mark Carney

So she says the quiet part out loud. There are many people who think this. But. NO ONE needs to earn inclusion. Inclusion is a right. For EVERY human.

If I wanted to suck-punch the publicly funded healthcare system in Alberta, squander precious resources and enrich profiteers, I'd do exactly like the Alberta government is doing. Lorne Gunter surely won't be there to pick up the pieces. edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…

Premier Smith says the stupidest things. She wants to "try something different" after one of her staff overseas felt unwell and had scores of tests - finding leukemia. That's the reason for allowing wealthy people to queue-jump. We diagnose leukemia in ER with a $15 blood test.
