Smith has introduced sweeping changes to citizen led referendums in Alberta… Extending the signature collection time from 90 to 120 days… And dropping the number of signatures required to 10% of the number of cast votes in the last general election.

Alberta is not listed among provinces that have committed to not clawing back the new Canada Disability Benefit. If not exempt, provincial benefits would be reduced dollar-for-dollar, leaving Alberta recipients no better off.

Podcasters muzzled, CEOs and senior managers fired, boards replaced and then sacked, all with hand-picked insiders. And still no public inquiry. By now it should be obvious that the “C” in UCP is for Coverup.

The UCP funds education at the lowest rate in the country. They can change that, come to the table with more resources for school boards, and ensure that education support staff get paid fair wages to put food on the table. That's what Alberta needs, right now. 2/2

Very telling the UCP chose to “consult” about AISH changes only with service providers and organizations they control like the Premier’s Council on the Status of Persons with disabilities. It is a pattern. UCP failed to consult actual people with disabilities and AISH recipients.
