Happy Caturday from Coal . Who doesn’t love a back scratch on the couch in the sun

“Premier Danielle Smith …have publicly warned that recall legislation should be used only in cases of serious misconduct or ethical breaches, not general political grievances.” It’s your legislation. If that’s what you intended , you should have written it that way. Incompetent or sour grapes much?

Necessary but also good economics. The energy transition is in full swing. Look at investment capital in clean energy, rapidly rising and now double fossil fuel investments. It’s like hanging on to your landline or driving a horse & buggy

So the UCP believes in direct democracy if the there are guarantees of the required number of signatures? What kind of guarantee? #ableg #abpoli

“Nolan Dyck, the United Conservative legislature member who put forward the reduced funding amount, said he didn’t think the government should provide more money to help McClure’s office handle the recalls, as there are no guarantees that either will get enough signatures.” Wtf ?

Recall Public funds to Private schools. #StopFundingPrivateSchools Only province in Canada who does this. What school wouldn’t want an outdoor area like this. www.webberacademy.ca/webber-acade...

Happy Caturday from these two besties

Look , NDP were in power from 2015 to 2019. Inflation was low, interest rates were low. Inflation really picked up post COVID . This guy’s just an idiot obfuscator . Teachers and our students deserve limits to classroom size and complexity in our public system. #ableg #abpoli

Anyone with any clue as to how expensive hospitalization costs , how expensive an ICU stay costs or how expensive a chronic illness like long Covid costs knows that a vaccination program is cost saving. And if the government had doubts wouldn’t it be better to commission a study ?

Introducing legislation to force an agreement with teachers would mean invoking the not withstanding clause to suspend constitutionally protected rights of workers to free assembly. The clause has never been used this way before and would set a dangerous precedent. #cdnpoli #ableg #abpoli

Smith / #UCP: We can't afford another $2B over 4yrs. Public - that's $500M / yr. Smith / #UCP - So? Public - You put $500M / yr into PRIVATE schools. Smith/ #UCP - were hoping you wouldn't notice that. We noticed. Put tax dollars into PUBLIC schools. #ableg #abed #abpoli #cndpoli

Meanwhile …this weeks’ Covid stats (Actually surprised the unbelievably corrupt politicians haven’t ordered this dashboard taken down )

Yeah give a Nobel peace prize to a convicted rapist who’s never served time in jail .

What’s the point of making a cycling lane that just dead ends and forces cyclists into traffic? Cyclists and motorists are unprepared for the merge into traffic . Couldn’t make 2 more blocks of bike lane ? Why would it take up some parking? Dumb and dangerous.

Change doesn’t just happen…it takes people fighting for it.

👇👇

Removing bike lanes means people who are concerned with their safety on roads with cars start driving instead . Tell us again how this eases congestion 🤦‍♂️ Secondly , this is a decision for municipalities . Stay in your lane !

Alberta: Did you know that… 1. 6 UCP MLAs won their ridings w/a TOTAL of 2080 votes, over ALL 6 ridings. 2. We need to recall 5 UCP MLAs to oust this govt Now. 3. abresistance.ca is over 5000 Albertans currently organizing recalls in 2 ridings. 4. We need YOU to join the fight. JOIN US!

Unbelievable! Alberta minister for destroying the environment wants the fed government to scrap bill C61 (safe drinking water act) , the Impact Assessment Act, Physical Activities Regulations, Clean Electricity Regulations, Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act and the Species at Risk Act.

The @UCPCaucus of #Alberta is facing scrutiny from Albertans as political turmoil grips the region. The pillars of #Transparency, #Integrity, and #Justice are being emphasized as citizens challenge the party's policies and actions. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #CorruptCare #CorruptCoal #CorruptEducation

This aged well… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

At the coal meeting in Fort MacLeod with @cbjalberta.bsky.social and the rest of the pro clean water crew. Standing in 28 degrees and smoke to demand the AB Gov doesn’t poison us! #abpoli #ableg #crazytown

The oil lobbyist who sits in the premier’s office has stated she wants a provincial government program to pay for oil environmental liabilities.

Bonnie Critchley is taking on Pierre Poilievre in Battle River–Crowfoot. Not backed by big money. Just big courage. @bonniecritchley.bsky.social #CdnPoli #AbPoli bsky.app/profile/bonn...

This piece on Alberta’s living standards and Premier Smith’s “Olympic-level gaslighting” shows the need to talk more about this distortion of facts and erosion of trust. Let’s hold #DanielleSmith accountable. #abpoli #ableg #Gaslighting

This isn’t about cost it’s about corruption. But if it was about cost: “Mentzelopoulos wrote that "[chartered surgical facilities] continue to demand higher pricing than the equivalent comparable cost within AHS and with other surgical providers." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Here’s the conservatives being fiscally responsible

Great action by Kingston police. Should you expect not be observed by police when driving? Heck no ! You’re out in public . The public need undistracted drivers. Recordings from drones are not made public. Police need efficient tools. #yycbike #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Are we surprised? Of course not.

“This latest revelation by Guthrie is bound to raise yet more questions about Smith’s ethics and judgment at a time when she is under pressure by factions within the UCP to advance a separatist agenda for the province.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/News/2025/05...

The UCP are corrupt separatists & they need to go.

Reality. Not political lies & whining. “with the cap, oilsands production “is projected… 15 per% higher than in 2022. The proposed federal emissions cap, …is higher than current oilsands emissions levels. ..PBO concluded the proposed …oilsands emissions would be 6% higher than 2022 emissions.”

It’s about oil and distraction from corruptcare, reopening coal mining, violating the rights of trans citizens, measles outbreak, extracting money from municipal taxes to fund the promised income tax break and MLAs leaving the party in protest.Right wing always needs an enemy to rage against

Max Fawcett on Alberta separatism #ableg #cdnpoli www.canadaland.com/podcast/1155...

"Petrostates try to hide, and ultimately obscure the truth when it conflicts with the message they have decided they want people to hear. In the case of Alberta, the preferred message is that oil and gas, not clean, inexpensive renewable energy, will provide Alberta with continued prosperity."

And read his book ; dangerous memories. Informative, entertaining and important!

Interesting he specifically said he’d have to keep secrets about foreign interference. But he neglected to say he wouldn’t be told about foreign interference by CSIS if he doesn’t have security clearance. Too bad time was up I think the others would have jumped all over him on that

Let's listen to Canada's mayors who see and deal with climate impacts on the ground They are calling for: Expanded national electric grid, high-speed rail network, non-market green homes, making buildings more energy efficient, etc And denouncing: new pipelines www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Remember when the Harper government muzzled scientists and made dramatic cuts to research funding ? It made Canada less competitive and innovative. Let’s not go back there . Here’s a couple references; The Fifth Estate gem.cbc.ca/the-fifth-es... academicmatters.ca/harpers-atta...

“Smith rejected any suggestion the move was a coverup, insisting it was being done to streamline the investigation” This is a new low for smith and it strain credulity to the point of snapping. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli calgaryherald.com/news/smith-d...

Conservative nomination shakedown ... "... candidate was told ln Nov that an upfront payment of $50,000 for an appearance by Poilievre at Mandadi's Mississauga home would help secure the nomination, with another $50,000 to be paid after the event." #cdnpoli #Elxn45

But if coal mining companies threaten a suit , the spines of the UCP suddenly vanish. globalnews.ca/news/1097006...

This should not be tolerated by people of Alberta. Our money to pay her travel while she’s supposed to be doing the job of premier. Even the time she spends defending herself to do it is time on the job wasted. #abopoli #ableg #cdnpoli
