I also want to mention that the UCP under Kenney lowered the corporate tax rate to 8% claiming it would create jobs This rate has stayed the same under Smith Lowering tax rates to aid employment (Trickledown economics) has never worked It's been studied for 50 yrs O&G are robbing #Alberta blind

Between charging for meds & vaccines, sowing chaos in our hospitals, or major allegations of interference in privatization deals, this government keeps showing they care more about private profits than ensuring quality, timely healthcare for Albertans.

The Alberta Next Panel is a political smokescreen—15 hand-picked appointees asked to study “the future” while corruption festers in the present. This is distraction, not vision. Albertans need a public inquiry, not another rigged echo chamber. #abpoli #ableg #UCPayToPlay #CorruptCare #UCPCorruption

Meanwhile… It appears the province has successfully blocked the former AHS CEO from forwarding on two emails to the auditor general. Because Smith and Amery are committed to full cooperation and transparency. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.canlii.org/en/ab/abca/d...

I thought removing the Carbon Rebate would stop this? Scammed again Canada. The Food Professor @FoodProfessor We’re getting fresh food inflation numbers today from Statistics Canada. So far this year, food inflation in Canada has climbed from -0.6% to 3.8%, outpacing the general inflation rate

OK, here is your one-minute primer on the whole concept of "trickle down economics," from the obituary of Fred Smith, the founder of Fedex. I mean, if you still can't see it, I have no hope for you.

The UCP spent your tax dollars surveying Albertans on quitting the CPP for an APP, then hid the results for 21 months. Finally the numbers are out: 63% OPPOSE the APP. Only 10% support. This is people’s retirement plan when they cannot work. Why they didn’t want to share?

I believe the UCP's latest decision to prevent us getting the covid shot is another way they are attacking our healthcare They've defunded public healthcare & torn it apart Now they're planning on making the population sick, overwhelming the system & staff They want Albertans to demand private care

You know, this wouldn't be such a bad idea if the $50 million was paid by industry through increasing O&G royalties or increasing corporate taxes. But no, our government is just going to spend our limited taxpayer money to subsidize industry at the expense of everyday Albertans. #ABPoli #ABLeg

This woman works on a farm that's being raided by ICE. Her fear is palpable. She just begs people who see her post to tell others what is happening so maybe she can find her kids if they are also taken. This is inhumane and cruel, especially without due process.

Just because I am anti-vax, said anti-vaxxers were the most discriminated, am in charge of a political party filled with anti-vaxxers, and have never promoted people getting vaccinated, doesn't mean I should be held responsible for wasted COVID vaccines. #abpoli #UCPCorruption

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

Are you telling me that the #UCPCorruption lied to Alberta again?

IMO, it's telling that the UCP used RFK's FDA as part of their approach to limit publicly-funded vaccines The UCP are following Trump's USA not Canada in their approach This should tell all Albertans where UCP loyalties lie & it's not with us They are traitors, who are selling us out #ableg #abpoli

Danielle Smith and the UCP caucus are INCOMPETENT and DECEITFUL. Bad judgement is fully on display with handling of the Eastern Slopes coal exploration/mining fiasco and firing of the former head of the AHS and cover-up. Instead of focusing on responsible Prov. governance, they lie and spin. #ABpoli

Reposting by request the exchange from Trump's ABC interview about Abrego Garcia's tattoos here on Bluesky 👇👇👇 TRUMP: He had MS-13 on his knuckles, tattooed! MORAN: That was photoshopped TRUMP: Terry, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. I picked you. But you're not being very nice.

So let's get this straight. Taxpayers spent $34 billion on the TMX pipeline because no private company would take the risk. That's $1200 per household. We subsidize every barrel down the pipe by 50 cents on the dollar because Big Oil won't pay. And now they want another one. As the planet burns.
