The #CorruptCare scandal deserves a full public inquiry. This isn’t one. Instead of an ethical, competent government, the Premier commissioned this report that will cost Albertans more than $625,000 and designed it to give herself cover from serious allegations. Read my full statement below ⤵️:

Just thought I'd re-up this one. The proposed #UCP tax cut in #Budget2025 will benefit high income tax filers, particularly men, with income over $60,000. Those with income less than $38,000 will see a small to no benefit. #abpoli #ableg policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/ma...

Before you thank Premier Smith for giving you a $750 tax break (a year late), don't forget that her UCP have created a system where private companies have been allowed to gouge you across multiple industries. Your power bills would've been a LOT less @ 8¢/kWh rather than 30¢. #ableg archive.is/chzAJ

UCP's budget offers little for Albertans - it's cuts, chaos, and corruption. #ableg #abpoli #budget #economy

This is beyond the pale. Education Minister of sorts, that is in favour of oil and gas indoctrination in the young. A climate change denier should not be in that position. Of course climate change/anti vax should not be the position of a government. Looking at you UCP.

Albertans rocked by the sharpest increases in power bills so far this decade, Statscan data show #ableg #abpoli #yyc #yeg #cdnpoli

Oil-bros gonna oil-bro. What upside do they have to stop? We need to elect government with climate policy that pulls demand down. That’s why it’s important to support a plan like Carney’s, which provides consumer financial incentives and investment in clean energy while making polluters pay.

You show 🆙 🤝 The Alberta Government is determined to pollute your drinking water if you do not 🛑 them. You & your severely normal👇👇👇friends need to dedicate your Tuesday lunch hour to stand up for your drinking 💦 & hold the @abenergyregulator.bsky.social to account. 👀 you there!! 😎👍 #abpoli #ableg

When Mike Myers wore his "Canada Is Not For Sale" t-shirt on SNL, he mouthed a secret code: "elbows up." It's a reference to the great Gordie "Mr. Elbows" Howe who punished those that messed with his team. You heard him Canada: elbows up. If anyone asks why, tell them that Mike Myers sent you.

Premier Legault re: SAAQclic "fiasco:"When there are failures in government, even if it is within a state corporation, in the end it is we who are accountable to the population and we must assume this responsibility." Ms. Smith, ABs expect no less from you. #ableg #abpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

If I have to live in Wayne's World it will be with a truly great one like Mike Myers. The other Wayne had a chance to stand up for Canada. He chose silence. Mike Myers showed up big time. No hedging, no playing both sides - just a real Canadian standing up for his country.

As the Conservatives blow a 30-point lead in the polls, we remind you that Canada’s mainstream media still chooses not to fact-check Pierre Poilievre. “Poilievre has benefitted immensely from legacy media’s inability to challenge conservative bullies.”

An excellent breakdown of the current coal corruption occurring within the UCP government, led by Brian Jean. Brian is claiming he is attempting to mitigate against $15 billion lawsuits while legal analysts say the Energy Minister is responsible for limit the losses… 1/2 elc.ab.ca/squeezing-di...

This is a must watch. Excellent, clear-eyed assessment of the fallout from the Trump/Vance gang up on Ukraine President Zelensky by David Brooks of @nytimes.com and Donovan Capehart of @washingtonpost.com on @pbsnews.org www.youtube.com/watch?v=19r6...

“Perhaps the $180 million could be used to supply housing and helping get basic needs met. Studies have shown once housed a person substance use lessens. Perhaps the harm reduction supports could be put back in place until people are ready for help as dead people don’t recover.”

Even UCP MLAs agree - we can't trust Danielle Smith & Adriana LaGrange to tell the whole truth. . You deserve answers. We can't let them investigate themselves. We need a public inquiry. Sign our petition at CorruptCare.ca. #abpoli #CorruptCare

I'm just a girl demanding a full public inquiry into chartered surgical facilities and their contracts. I also want to know how these relationships impact our public system. Full disclosure. If it's all fine, then the UCP should have no problem complying. That's all.

I'm just a boy asking for this inquiry to also retrace the slime trail of Mental Health & Addiction procurement.

Papers worldwide condemn Trump, in addition Trump has lost the Daily Mail. When you lose the Daily Mail you are a global pariah. “Trump on Friday presided over one of the greatest diplomatic disasters in modern history.” "A spectacle to horrify the world"

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

As part of Jason Nixon's efforts to force #AISH recipients back to work, the UCP is proudly announcing a budget cut of $77 million! Just another way we can pick on another minority in the province and make life more difficult for them. #abpoli #ableg www.cochraneeagle.ca/local-news/a...

You're gonna pay money whether it's the left wing or right wing, but with the right wing only a few of their friends benefit...not the majority of people or the people that truly need it. WTF. #ucp #abpoli

So "health entities" will sign leases with Alberta Infrastructure "free of charge". But I'm betting that these won't be one page leases. They'll be full of all sorts of terms and conditions & a net increase in red tape! Also betting that we won't get to see them. #ableg #abpoli

sigh... GG 🤬 I tried ... time to switch to Sports-98.5 Montréal avec Dany et Martin!! Should have done that from the start! #gohabsgo #habs

Alberta Forestry #UCP Minister Loewen allowed the hunting quota to be expanded last year. However, conservationists have raised the lack of science-based information & lack of public engagement. #NeverUCP #Ableg #Abpoli #Cdnpoli #ABResistance #UCPfail #CanadaSky www.rmoutlook.com/canmore/no-c...

Physicians see big holes in health care numbers in Alberta Budget #ableg #abpoli #yyc #yeg

There’s indeed a system that seems to corrupt everyone who’s part of it. It isn’t spelled A-H-S. It’s spelled U-C-P. We can’t trust this Premier, this Health Minister to investigate themselves. Even their former Minister says so. We need a public inquiry now. CorruptCare.ca #ableg

Buy Canadian!!! #cdnpoli #fucktrump #fucktrumptariffs

CorruptCare Scandal simplified (got feedback its too complicated for ABs to understand)🧵 : Surgery: all cases can be done in hospitals, select lower risk cases can be done in for-profit centers Govt: thinks endless workforce, so they can add for-profits and not affect hosp care

UCP releases budget w/ 5B+ deficit pointing to the obvious economic challenges we face & that is fair, but does anyone remember when the NDP faced a far more catastrophic economic situation & continued to invest in HC, Edu, the vulnerable & didn't shower friends w/ $$. UCP cut AISH again! FFS #ableg

Provincial government wants taxes to make up one-third of education operating budget 🏫 #ableg #abed #abpoli #yyc #yeg

#ABLeg #ABPoli the parallels to MAGA are striking.

I feel as though all this freedom and democracy has made us lazy and that's why we can't have nice things anymore.

Ooops! We dumped all our toxic coal mine tailings into an Alberta river - again. The UCP's vaunted 'world-class' regulations working as planned, for a world where pollution is allowed to run rampant #pollution #abpoli #yeg #yyc #yql www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Hey #Ontario, this is stupid. #onpoli Via: @fairvote.ca

Rachel Notley's prediction that Danielle Smith would go into deficit in her 3rd year came true. #ableg #abpoli

I stand with Ukraine.

Increase the deficit by 1.2 billion so they can give a tax cut for f*cks sake only a fool UCP supporter would think that is a good idea. As they take that money out of education or Healthcare. edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

Five Failures in the Oval Office (video), by @TimothyDSnyder substack.com/@snyder/note...

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

Following the CUPE rally on February 27th, teachers arrived at the Alberta Legislature to rally for education, and were joined by CUPE members and other unions. -- #yeg #ableg #education #teachers #unions #labour #union #photojournalism #yegphotographer #edmonton #alberta
