.United Conservative Party of Alberta This is wild. All Albertans must read this. UCP set up a web of numbered companies in USA with UCP current cabinet ministers as directors. Unpaid US taxes, strange transactions, $7,000,000.00 “administration fees”. This isn’t normal. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

From the sworn affidavit by the former AHS CEO… This is sworn as a draft copy of the letter AHS wanted to send to a charter surgical facility as part of their investigation into conflict of interests. Allegedly, the govt refused to let it be sent. /1 #abpoli #cdnpoli

This is honestly too much. The Premier talking about 135M HC dollars just wasted and acting like she has NOTHING to do with why we are here. Everything she and her govt has done has brought us to this point, a 🧵to recap: buff.ly/HuESfWk 1/10

“… when the provincial leader has clearly signaled her intention to support the mis and disinformed over everyone else, malice seems to be the only explanation that makes sense.” #ableg #ABhealth #abpoli substackfwd.xyz/?url=https://o…

Danielle Smith gov't spent nearly 2yrs fighting to not release its Alberta pension plan survey. It's finally out. Only 10% of people expressed support, 63% said don't. Matthew Black, at long last. edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/…

If only economists had advocated for setting a price that reflects the social cost of carbon emissions and letting the market decide which abatement options make sense. Oh wait, they did. Conservatives decided either that other policies were better, or that social cost was $0.

Nothing says “we respect the opinions of Albertans and think they have a right to know what their neighbours think” quite like sitting on the results for 21 months and fighting not to release them. #AbLeg

This is an excellent article by Janet French. Great reporting. A couple of points. 1. The experts quoted in this really are experts and even though they hold conflicting views we should think about what they say. /1 cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

#Cndpoli #Canpoli Absolutely dangerous lies by a cowardly seditionist organizer. FACTS: 1. The median age for MAID is 78. 2. 60% are over 75 3. Terminal Cancer (not covid vaccines) reflect 64% of all MAID cases Tamara Lich is NOT a hero; she’s a predator and a grifter.

For anyone wondering where Smith intends to take healthcare in Alberta... She already told everyone in 2021. She's almost 2/3 of the way done. And it's all to profitize healthcare. If you haven't watched this yet, you should. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Holy crap on a cracker if you want to know what’s going on in Alberta Healthcare… Read this thread! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

So Danielle Smith is your person to give that to Albertans? The most corrupt, divisive & secretive provincial govt in Alberta’s history? This is EXACTLY what you want? Go fuck your self! #cdnpoli #cdnpolitics

A giant exercise in manufacturing consent, one that will cost taxpayers millions of dollars and change *nothing* about the underlying issues. It's meant to distract her base and keep their anger focused at Ottawa. Are they going to let themselves get played *again* like this?

Here’s an example of the misleading questions being asked in the UCP’s Alberta Next survey. It fails to mention that the discrepancy is due to fact that we have more workers than retirees. Every Canadian contributes at the same rate and gets the same benefits.

Pretty sure this tariff strategy to drive impacts that devalue the CDN dollar enough that it neutralizes the impact of increased costs to the US (which is anticipated to retain its value as the international currency of choice), probably can't neutralize the size of this drop

Truth Bomb: how long until Premier Smith tells Albertans that even if the referendum succeeds, & all other Provs agree to AB separation, & all Indigenous rights were overruled by courts (all highly unlikely)- if separation is granted, all oil resources revert to the Feds #ableg

It feels like I have to do a thread about this every few weeks. Let's do it again, shall we? 🧵

Where’s the United States? 😂🤣

Bexte was all over this. He blocks me, but surely he saw this anyways. Not much to say about this one I'd bet. Eh @realkeeanbexte

How UCP mark Disability Pride Month in Alberta. Danielle Smith and the UCP government are now taking the new $200 federal disability benefit from disabled, low-income (⬇️$23k per year) AISH recipients. The only ones in Canada to take this poverty cushion away. #alberta
