Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

~"Smith has a reputation for listening to “the people.” Her policies, however, suggest anything but. Currently, 3 policies dominate Smith’s political agenda: a provincial police force, an AB pension plan and municipal political parties. Her dogged pursuit of these initiatives raises huge questions"

Imagine one of your employees accused another of funneling half a billion of your dollars to their friends. Imagine the accused told you not to worry. They're looking into it for you. That's where we are in Alberta. The premier and her staff are telling taxpayers to let them handle it.

~Even the Cons are not thrilled with Trump. This helps to explain the loss of Conservative support in Canada, not to mention having a terrific candidate for leader of the Liberal party. Thanks, Trump. Likely the one and only good thing you have done.

edmontonjournal.com/news/politic... LaGrange knew about issue for 8 months but never informed Premier. AG Wylie notified Premier's Office on Jan 31, but Smith didn't learn about it until @carrietait.bsky.social Feb 5 article. Why aren't her staff and ministers telling the Premier what's going on?
