Calgary election PSA. We haven't heard of a single candidate forum in Wards 2, 3, 12, 13 or 14. And three of those have no incumbents. What gives?? WAKEY WAKEY, FOLKS! There's an election in 20 days! Get a candidate debate going already! The Sprawl will even livestream it for you! #yyccc

The world has lost its most powerful advocate for nature and hope. Yet many remain who will continue her legacy and I know she will continue to inspire generations more.

The UCP government is more interested in directly blaming than fixing problems. They will lie, ignore the facts, and attack people - anything to avoid taking accountability for the problems they create or action to solve the problems albertans face. We deserve a better government. #ableg

Albertans will not be divided by the #UCP government. Join Public Interest Alberta this weekend ✊ #StandUp for #PublicEducation #Solidarity #StopTheExcuses #FundOurPublicServices #DoYourJobSmith #UnethicalAlberta

Alberta would rather fail than change.

I never thought that I would be called an extremist for caring for those less fortunate than myself. I never thought that I’d be called radical far left for caring about the future of my children and grandchildren.

Did you know that the abusive wanker Bruce McAllister earns this much money to be a separatist bully boy for Danielle Smith? Must be nice #Alberta We don’t accept your apology Bruce, resign immediately.

A report commissioned by Alberta's electric system operator shows big investors' faith in the province as a stable and predictable place to invest "has been significantly undermined in recent years." That's especially true when it comes to renewables. #ableg #cdnpoli thenarwhal.ca/restructured...

Suggesting a student be beaten is disgusting Cutting off the mic because a student was asking a question the UCP don't want to answer is just more of the same The UCP refuse to be held to account BTW, there are a lot of questions the UCP need to answer & even more that they refuse to answer #ableg

Def don’t expect a response from the Premier’s Office. #ableg

Also from Braid: “What followed was a stunning display of dismissive arrogance from the heart of the UCP government.”

“Moderator Bruce (Spanky) McAllister, who makes $184,000 a year running Premier Danielle Smith’s Calgary office, cut the student off and said he should be turned over his parent’s knee.” Brilliant Don (truly). From this day forward, we all have to refer to Bruce as “Spanky” McAllister. 🤣

The Ford government is forcing municipalities to ditch speed cameras. People will die. I make the case for keeping the cameras, and saving lives. www.davidmoscrop.com/p/life-in-th...

They want to vilify the teachers union so they can end public education. Never lose sight of the end goals in all this. She said so right here in 2018. globalnews.ca/news/4067888... #abpoli #istandwithteachers 2/2

They cut off his mic. We’re giving him the floor. Join Evan Li and me for a conversation tonight! ⏰ 8 PM 📺 YouTube Live: youtube.com/@naheednensh...

If there’s any justice in the world… lessons will be learned… and the nickname “Spanky” will stick! Bruce “Spanky” McAllister! Just “Spanky” should suffice! buff.ly/UjiRpKH

Reminder: Bruce McAllister doesn’t respect Albertans. The Premier knows this and is paying him $825,000 to berate citizens in these so-called “town halls.” We deserve better.

As bad as McAllister was — and he was very bad — it was worse that the premier of the province sat there and condoned his behaviour by not immediately reprimanding him or apologizing or otherwise commenting later. The words at these events are sham, the style is the government's reality.

Not only do the moderator and tech cut off a youth’s freedom of expression, but then the moderator suggests the teenager should be beaten by his parents. And no one on the stage says anything?!?! Not one “leader” up there is appalled?! Says no? This isn’t 1 person behaving unethically. It’s the lot.

Evan Li: "if reporters can find me in minutes to contact me for an interview, Bruce McAllister can find me to apologize personally"

She had the gall to say "this is what happens when you have uncertainty?" ☀️💨 As you are fond of saying, irony is dead.

Without some amazing teachers throughout the years I would have NEVER become a doctor. Without the amazing PUBLIC education system I wouldn't be where I am today (my family could NOT have afforded private eductation streams). I stand with our teachers and for our future students!

The ATA’s announcement of teachers soundly rejecting a contract offer and heading for a strike coincided with the last-in person Alberta Next panel in Calgary. A high school student tried to ask the panel about it … and what happened next sent everyone chasing after a 17 year old IB student #AbLeg

Stick tap to @janisirwin.bsky.social who posted these responses to the parental teacher strike stipend on her Facebook page. The government has the money, they just want to break the teacher's union. #ABPoli

I wish I could say I was surprised, but it’s just like Smith to silence those who don’t agree with her. #ableg #abpoli

This is a great article about “The One”, or as I like to call her Dani DeSantis #ableg #albertanext

Exactly this. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

To the people who lent their credibility to this panel: are you having fun yet? It might be time to resign while you can still salvage some of it.

Alberta UCP are such slimy pieces of crap that they can't even handle an intelligent teen's thoughtful questions so they cut off his mic and say he's not making sense? #ableg #abed #albertateachers #cndpoli

The most corrupt premier and government in the entire history of Alberta, and her supporters don’t care. Sad to see what is happening to Alberta. We could and should be so much better. #abpoli #ableg #Alberta #FireSmith #FireTheUCP #UCPCorruption #Canada #SmithIsATraitor

The UCP doesn't give a shit about your kid. #ableg #abpoli #abed

. @abdanielsmith.bsky.social “moderator” at a “consultation” tells parents they should spank their kid for asking questions about the strike but we need her to protect our kids from @margaretatwood.bsky.social books. Right….. #ableg

When a concerned Albertan raised concerns about vulnerable Albertans being treated fairly by an Alberta Police force… Bruce McAllister cut her mic and told her to leave. This is the UCP’s “consultation”. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

When McAllister cuts Evan off and says that what he’s saying “isn’t making any sense” he’s gaslighting. That’s an abusive behaviour. And you could hear McAllister moving to cut Evan off as soon as he heard the words “in favour of striking.” Asshole.

Full story: More than 89 per cent of Alberta teachers voted down a contract offer, setting the stage for the province's largest teacher strike on Oct. 6. #AbLeg #AbEd

At tonight’s “consultation”… When a high school kid tried to raise concerns about the teachers strike, Bruce McAllister cut the kids mic and then suggested his parents should have beaten him more. Listen to the clip yourself… It’s… Telling. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

With his action, cutting the mic, belittling the student & comments regarding the parent’s insufficient use of corporal punishment UCP Bruce demonstrates and embodies the unethical Alberta government. #AbPoli myhealth.alberta.ca/Health/pages...

I have to say in all my years as a journalist, I've never heard a government employee say that a youth should be assaulted for speaking their mind.

But govt keeps marching forward: Legislature to break up our system into smaller and smaller parts that can be sold off... and with NO oversight or control... costing more with worse outcomes... All ABs should care... you are a loved one could be in the new 13% who die 4/4

#BruceMcAllister makes a base salary of $14,000 a month paid for by taxpayers. Note the panelists have endorsed this behaviour and are complicit in accepting this at each town hall because they keep showing up and never speak out. This includes a retired judge & a University Professor. #AlbertaNext

This is absolutely despicable behaviour. McAllister should be turfed immediately and this gong show propaganda tour needs to end. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I don’t even know what to say. If anyone on that panel had morals and a spine, they’d quit the travelling sideshow, “Another Roadside Distraction,” and make a public statement about why.

Imagine claiming the Alberta Next Panel is about ensuring respect from Ottawa and ensuring all voices are heard, and then you yell at a young Albertan publicly that he needs to be spanked for asking a fair question and expressing an opinion. Absolute peak hypocrisy.

And hey, as if Bruce McAllister attacking a high school kid wasn't bad enough, the fact that the room cheered on the kid pressing the government teachers' negotiations tells you all you need to know about who is winning the PR fight on this matter.

Utter contempt and disrespect from Bruce McAllister. Cutting off the kid's mic and limiting his freedom of expression is one thing, but saying he should be spanked is a fireable offense from a supposedly neutral moderator. Bruce needs to be removed immediately.

FWIW… If anyone can let Evan know that we would love to have him on for a chat, we absolutely won’t cut his mic. Our DM’s are open and our email is in our description. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

📢I think it's disgusting when you bullshit your way around the political monopoly board #abpoli #ableg #canpoli #bantheban

Also, let’s not forget this fun little data point… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

#abpoli #ableg #covid #FireUCP

Alberta’s vaccine policy isn’t helping families — it’s hurting them. It’s built on lies, pushes us toward privatization, breaks public health rules, and leaves more people sick, straining hospitals. #AxeTheVaxTax #ABleg #ABpoli
