Remember, this guy will say anything to get elected PM. Hypocracy is no issue for creepy. 🇨🇦 please let's stop this guy. Vote, get your family members, friends, colleagues. #Cons will not help us with the clown or our future. #cdnpoli

A public inquiry is the only thing that will prove Smith and the UCP are innocent or guilty of mismanaging AB tax dollars. Transparency is required!

my favorite Bible story is probably the one where Jesus disappears an innocent person into a slave-labor gulag and then jets off for a weekend of golf at Galilee-a-Lago

I’ve got a lot of problems w/what RFK Jr says here—but worst is his description of people on the autism spectrum as unable to contribute. This is the Trump admin’s war on diversity: if you’re not their version of “perfect,” you’re not worthy. Thanks to Holly Robinson Pete, for setting it straight.

After running down a long list of scandals Alberta Health Minister Adriana Lagrange has been directly and indirectly involved in… Nenshi and the Alberta NDP called on Danielle Smith to fire Adriana Lagrange today! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The only reason there is a 16M dollar lawsuit against the AB govt is the UCP mismanaged this harmful deal. So now we either have polluted drinking water from coal mining or pay 16M because of this lawsuit. #UCPIncompetence www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Mark Carney’s best line: #cdnpoli “The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms exists to protect Canadians from people like us, politicians on this stage.”

Carney: Donald Trump is trying to break us so the U.S. can own us. They want our land. They want our resources. They want our water. They want our country. And we're all going to stand up against Donald Trump

Mark Carney again, staying on task, getting his points and policy heard, clear, concise and controlled. Carney is the right person to lead Canada, his plans can work and help Canadians. #LeadersDebate #Canada

Good for Rosie Barton and David Cochrane for pointing out that The Rebel people confronted journalists, including them, and wilfully disrupted the debate coverage and ended the after-debate scrum with leaders. Cochrane called out the rage farming for profit. Massive failure by the debate commission

The confusing hodgepodge of government investigations into allegations of corruption, cover-ups and political interference shows need for an independent public inquiry into the UCP’s Dodgy Contracts Scandal

If the Minister of Justice has nothing to hide, he should table the receipts for his Florida trip to the Stanley Cup Finals — flight, ticket, hotel — and show Albertans he paid for it himself! And while he's at it, maybe he could convince the Premier to call a public inquiry into #corruptcare too!

It’s pretty telling that anyone who asks for a public inquiry is then kicked out of caucus. Smith and the UCP government make it clear that there is corruption. These things always come out and the cover-up is always politically worse. open.substack.com/pub/davebert...

RFK Jr. said that he plans to roll out changes to the vaccine injury monitoring system, VAERS, in order to find negative impacts from vaccines. He also said he would create a division at CDC to focus on “vaccine injuries.” So far, he has overseen the firing of approximately 20% of CDC employees.

In just a matter of days, we’ve already seen states and communities suffer the impacts of abrupt, chaotic cuts to public health funding. A weaker CDC means Americans have fewer resources to protect ourselves from health threats.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

With 77,000 people on AISH, the UCP stands to take 15,400,000 a month with money that is supposed to be helping lift disabled Albertans a little more out of poverty. They’re taking $15 million a month away from some of Alberta’s most vulnerable. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

China is playing the long game here. $20B in Crude. Previously $1.5B in US beef exports. They are moving trade to Canada and Australia. They are shutting down shipping container ships from leaving ports in their was to the US. This is the beginning and will destroy small biz and farmers.
