www.alberta.ca/plan-for-par... #Alberta Hey Albertans, If you like the outdoors, please share your thoughts on Alberta’s new draft plan on provincial parks, provincial recreation areas and wildland provincial parks. #conservation #Publichealth #forestbathing

🚨 UPDATE: Alberta’s Auditor General warns that the UCP government's questioning of former AHS CEO could undermine his investigation into corruption and interference. Albertans deserve accountability, not cover-ups. 📲 Remind them by visiting corruptcare.ca /1

Today in Alberta - May 28: The Canadian Medical Association files a constitutional challenge to Alberta’s Bill 26, which directs doctors on how to deliver gender-affirming care to people under 18. The CMA calls the bill an “unprecedented intrusion into the physician–patient relationship.” #ABpoli

Can we talk about the leaked separatist video? You know, the one that clearly shows that the separatist movement is planning to target public leaders with literal propaganda to discredit them? Because that's how they're going to try to break up Canada. With lies. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Every 👏🏼 Single 👏🏼 Vote 👏🏼 Counts 👏🏼 #cdnpoli #ableg

Another sign from the May 10 #ABResistance rally at the Alberta Legislature. Sharp, fearless, and calling things by their name—Albertans are paying attention. #Yeg #Edmonton #ABLeg #UCPCorruption #UCPayToPlay #VoicesOfAlberta

"Allowing Bill 55 to pass would queue things up for the government to very quickly turn over our public hospital infrastructure to be operated by private, for-profit interests”: Chris Gallaway. This is beyond concerning. Read FOM's response: friendsofmedicare.org/bill55_puts_hospitals_at_risk

Wolverine populations in Alberta are low enough that they could be listed as a threatened species. Instead, Minister Loewen removed the limit on trapping them. Please contact the Minister's office to share your concerns about this: [email protected] (and cc our office too!). #abpoli

Alberta cases of the measles continue to rise, province says total now reaches 326 #Alberta #Measles #Outbreak www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

In Alberta, it's beginning to look a lot like 1991 Saskatchewan. Like today's UCP, the Devine PCs were embroiled in scandal. And they, too, turned to referendums as both a distraction and attempt to rebrand themselves as a 'party of the people'. It didn't work. Here's some background.🧵

.@ABDanielleSmith's separation play is a total fiasco *Bad idea *Bad messaging *Messenger no one trusts *No public support *Worst possible time for a manufactured "national unity crisis" Interview w/@DuaneBratt, @MountRoyalU. #ABleg #cdnpoli youtu.be/wYQmwpCjS6U

THANK YOU to these organizations & Albertans advocating for use of #science in decision making in #wildlife management. We have greatest impact working together at all levels & I'm honoured to be your voice in the Legislature as Shadow Minister for #Environment & Protected Areas. #abpoli #ableg

The investigation was in response to a series of access requests refused by all Government of Alberta departments, which are public bodies under the FOIP Act... oipc.ab.ca/information-... #abpoli #FOIP #investigation

Majority of Canadians agree that Danielle Smith has betrayed Canada

The Privy Council’s word is final, when is moving day? #cdnpoli

Find your local #EnoughIsEnough and @abresistance.bsky.social rally this Saturday, May 10th! I will be at Calgary City Hall from 1-4 pm. Bring your grievances and ideas! May the force be with you, resistors! 💪 💪 #abpoli #ableg

Trump's budget cuts: -$4.5B from programs for students in high-poverty schools -$49M from the Ed Dept's civil rights office -$26B from state rental assistance -$4B from low-income home energy assistance -$20B+ from the CDC and NIH All to give the rich another tax cut.

BREAKING: Mark Carney to Trump: “Canada won’t be for sale EVER!”

Danielle Smith uses Trump's playbook: pretend you're a victim, embroil yourself in scandals, do things no one asked for, backpedal repeatedly when your inane policies receive backlash & use distractions to divert attention from the fact that you have no idea how to govern. #abpoli #cdnpoli

The fight we face is with President Trump, not Ottawa, and certainly not each other. Danielle Smith is dividing our country and picking fights in a moment that calls for national unity. Watch my response to the Premier's address: youtu.be/d4e8Xu5xtqU

She will do whatever it takes to keep public eyes off what could be among the biggest corruption scandals in Canadian history

@jaredwesley.ca says the UCP’s Bill 54 is “the most comprehensive set of anti-democratic reforms in Alberta history.” I took a moment to break down just how bad this bill is and how it’s designed to bring some of the worst of American elections to Alberta. youtu.be/makw7SnB83s?... #abpoli

The premier is making up numbers. And she just proposed a referendum on whether her government should collect taxes on behalf of Ottawa. Is this is an indication of what we can expect at tomorrow's press conference?

Loud voices might make you think otherwise, but Albertans are more committed to Canada, not less: "While 22% identify primarily as Albertan, more than 3/4 see themselves as Canadian... support for an Alberta-first identity [is below the 28%] found in 2020." www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Thanks to whoever it was here that posted about this Fifth Estate episode on the convoy people in Coutts. I shared this with my mom who lives in Southern Alberta, we should all be informed about these folks as they are ramping up again. gem.cbc.ca/the-fifth-es...

Come on progressives, please help support this important Go Fund Me, in aid of legal fees for the former CEO of #AHS, Athana Mentzelopoulos. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #CorruptCare #IbelieveAthana #ABResistance #ABlaw gofundme.com/f/medicine-h...

I hear there is a large Ukrainian population in Battle River-Crowfoot Riding...PIERRE POILIEVRE VOTED AGAINST AID FOR UKRAINE EVERY TIME IN PARLIAMENT. HE CAMPAIGNED ON CUTTING FOREIGN AID. YOU DON'T HAVE TO VOTE FOR HIM!!!!!!!

Many respirators available in Canada are certified by NIOSH and automatically approved by Health Canada. Manufacturers may have to look at certifying under CSA Z94.4.1:21 for the North American standard.

The Trump-Musk Budget is out. It tortures to death every program the average American family benefits from while (1) ensuring that no department that helps Elon Musk’s companies is harmed one iota, and (2) dumping endless wads of cash on a missile-defense scheme Trump was already told won’t work.

~Here's something to put a smile on your face! Thanks, @brucefanjoy.bsky.social

Poilievre losing his seat is almost Shakespearean: Pretender to the throne riles countrymen with anger, gets defeated by guy with Joy in his name. It’s basically Macbeth.

Thank you, Carleton. As we've said from the beginning, together we can. I'm grateful and humbled by everyone who contributed to our campaign. 1/2

“How do you like them apples?”

Jeremy Nixon losing his second election in a row is a happy result. #abpoli #yyc

“WE STAND ON GUARD FOR THEE” Canadians understood the assignment. #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦

I eagerly await Smithnwesson strutting into Ottawa with her list of demands written in crayon on the back of receipt from Sam Mraiche for defective Tylenol.

Joe Biden has congratulated Mark Carney. #cdnpoli #elbowsup

Disappointing outcome.

time.com/7266334/us-h... U.S. Added to Global Human Rights Watchlist Over Declining Civil Liberties shocker. I’m surprised it took this long after the atrocities this administration has done so far, and still to do, as they gut and ravage democracy into an authoritarian waste land.

From the DM’s… Remember how a certain Chartered surgical facility was supposed to have their contract expire on April 30? And how all of those contracts were paused? Someone allegedly hit the unpause button. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Elizabeth May wins! 🪶🙌🏽🌳

This is Canada — and we decide what happens here.
