#UCPCorruption

Message to the City of Edmonton. It is time to rename Wayne Gretzky Drive. My suggestion would be Volodymyr Zelenskyy Drive

#UCPCorruption

With friends like that, who needs enemies? Never more true 🇨🇦

Outstanding ……………🤭

Private delivery of health care costs more than public delivery. This is the latest evidence on top of decades of public policy evidence. Public health care is the most expensive way to deliver health services …except for all the others.

Finally!! Thanks @belindacrowson.bsky.social calgarysun.com/news/lethbri...

~LETHBRIDGE, TODAY, SATURDAY FEB. 22 "Pink Slip for Danielle Smith" rally will be at Lethbridge East Constituency Office (Minister Neudorf) on Saturday, February 22 at 1 PM Bring your pink signs, your voices and your family and friends. The Raging Grannies have a couple tunes for the occasion!

@beingliberal.bsky.social did you know that there is now an official petition to the Parliament of Canada to have Elon Musk's citizenship revoked? Check it out! www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

This is astounding. It shows Albertans paid double - sometimes triple! - for surgeries at private surgical facilities connected to friends of the UCP than through AHS. And the Premier’s staff & Health Minister allegedly pressured & then fired the CEO of AHS when she asked questions about them.

The ultimate sleeper agent. Russia won. The US (and the free world) lost. The takeover of the US by a Russian agent is meant to be the stuff of thriller novels, not real life. Well, we all enjoyed some good years there, back before the KGB's greatest success ever.

#UCPCorruption This is a deep a pile of slime and corruption as Alberta has seen in many a long year. Criminal charges are almost certainly warranted. The Premier and LaGrange must resign. This happened under their watch. It may even have involved them. Regardless, they failed us.

America, you want to commit suicide, we can't stop you. But you're not taking us down with you. You used to be great. We'll miss you. 🇨🇦

#UCPCorruption We deserve better. Read this thread & decide what to do next. One would hope that would include writing to your MLA. Good idea to make sure to cc the Official Opposition: [email protected] and Shadow Minister for Health Sarah Hoffman: [email protected]

🧪❄️⚒️ new study about the world’s glaciers - TLDR is that they’re losing a lot of mass

Brian Jean & Danielle Smith latest spin about Grassy Mountain: the mine will get all its water from a little pond. That is an outright lie The test drilling proposal now under review by AER might get enough water from that pond. A mine would use MUCH, MUCH more water. Drained from our creeks.

I sure liked watching hockey as a guest of the people who got the contracts I had no role in awarding. Now I'm going to rearrange some chairs, and then close the office door so that you people will go away. There. All fixed. #UCPCorruption www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Divert water from north-flowing rivers south to the thirsty prairies? A bad idea- now REALLY bad. Those rivers rely on glaciers for summer flow. Glaciers are vanishing. Peyto Glacier is 30 meters skinnier now than ten years ago! Glaciers go: rivers shrink. A lot Forget water transfers. Conserve

“Since June of 2023, Loewen has instituted a grizzly bear hunt, completely removed trapping quotas from wolverine, otter, lynx and fisher, and has now significantly increased the cougar kill quota.” www.jasperlocal.com/2025/02/14/a...

~Breakdown episode, “The Skybox Network Exposed,” Pike weaved together a cohesive narrative from PREVIOUSLY REPORTED info on Mraiche "If you upset powerful interests, they can launch a lawsuit&compel you to take down your entire body of work without even proving that you’ve done anything wrong"

So mainstream Alberta media: @calgaryherald.com @edmontonjournal.bsky.social and CBC (so far as I can see not yet on this site - really? but @joeldryden.bsky.social) @carrietait.bsky.social Have you covered this yet? If not why not? #ableg #abpoli

This is Sam Mraiche, CEO of MHCare. Sam benefitted from over $614M UCP gov't contracts for defective face masks, Turkish pain meds, CSFs, & more. Sam gave NHL playoff Skybox tix to UCP MLAs & staffers. Sam is suing @thebreakdownab.bsky.social to silence them for reporting his connections.

I used to read crime thriller novels for an escape. You know: complicated plots, intrigue, evil guys running unlikely conspiracies, corruption, weird unbelievable stuff. Now I get all that in the news. A novelist couldn't make this stuff up. Guess I'll start reading cereal labels for an escape.

Dithering our way towards conservation. So far the Flathead has been kept safe, except from commercial loggers. But it seems the struggle is never over. #waternotcoal thenarwhal.ca/bc-flathead-...

Not one paid political activist amongst us. Just local concerned citizens in front of MLA Chelsae Petrovic’s office saying no to coal mining in the Eastern Slopes. #nocoalmining #waterforfood @thebreakdownab.bsky.social @ryanjespersen.bsky.social
