Also, LaGrange is lying about the $110 per vaccine cost. This study, found with a five-second Google search, estimates the Canadian price at $43 Cdn. The study provides a cost-benefit analysis that shows it makes economic sense for govts to pay for vaccines. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Misleading Albertans that we'll be on the hook for $14B as a consequence of shutting down #coalmining on the Eastern Slopes is a total falsehood. “It’s a bold faced lie.” Albertans and @albertandp.ca are clear: No #Coal Mining on the Eastern Slopes #shadowminister #environment #protectedareas

The extent of the UCP #CorruptCare scandal allegations never ceases to amaze me. This latest revelation shows that the scandal goes far beyond what AHS officials knew, what bloated contracts this government negotiated, and what bad deals they signed. Premier, call a public inquiry. Immediately.

New from me! The provincial government believes Albertans on AISH are already receiving more than enough support. So rather than let the federal government lift some Albertans with disabilities out of poverty, the province has decided to claw back the Canada Disability Benefit.

This is very troubling. When Alberta's chief electoral officer takes the unprecedented step of telling every MLA that the Justice Minister's proposed Election Act changes will undermine elections, he's clearly calling out anti-democratic behaviour. 1 www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

This is an appalling development with Bill 54. “McClure writes that some of the bill makes improvements, but other changes "will deteriorate the service provided to electors, compromise Albertans' trust in the democratic process, and remove elements of transparency and accountability."”

The report shows this was a government-wide, systemic refusal to process FOIP requests. It's a damning indictment of the UCP's extreme culture of secrecy. And the UCP is further reducing FOIP access, which is yet another red flag re: growing authoritarianism. oipc.ab.ca/information-...

What’s at the heart of Alberta premier Danielle Smith’s separation rhetoric? Oil. Her position, @drewanderson.bsky.social writes, has been driven since the outset by the Free Alberta Strategy. It's a plan to back oil and gas — even if it means breaking up Canada. thenarwhal.ca/free-alberta...
