Danielle Smith and her Health Minister face serious corruption allegations for interfering in major contracts that favored private surgery providers, benefiting friends and insiders. www.corruptcare.ca #Ableg #Abpoli #CHA #CorruptCare #IbelieveAthana

Police once charged a man w assaulting a cop bc of the liquid he “threw” on the cop. The liquid? The man’s blood. Which was flying off his face. Which the cop had just punched. Far too often the cops arrest ppl for the harms done by the police. I’m hoping we are seeing a critical overreach now.

UCP doesn't love Albertans back. UCP loves O&G and O&G loves UCP. They're one and the same. Alberta is a petro-fascist state.

The UCP using the notwithstanding clause to order striking teachers back to work should be seen as a violent attack on the rights of Albertans and all labour.

A lot of questions today about how Danielle Smith -- the "libertarian" and "conservative" -- could use closure & the notwithstanding clause to remove Albertans' Charter rights. The answer: she's neither libertarian nor conservative. Is the province or her party, though? We'll soon find out.+

This baseball game has lasted longer than debate on Bill 2. #ABleg

#Abpoli "This is how fascism starts. Taking the rights of one group away." @kathleenganley.bsky.social This IS how fascism works. We're there right now. Who is going to stand up to oppose this government? Who is going to fight fascism in Canada?

Tonight's moves by the UCP are part of a trend: shifting Alberta away from liberal democracy toward illiberalism. "Populists like Smith often invoke freedom, but their concept of it is tied to loyalty to the dominant group rather than universal liberties.+ open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

I keep seeing people say that with the upcoming Alberta law, it’ll be the first invocation of the notwithstanding clause against striking workers. That’s not true. Ontario did just that back in 2022. And crucially, workers continued the strike and forced the government to repeal the law.

Where's the premier while MLAs rush through an all-night debate on stripping Albertans of their Charter rights? An airport lounge, waiting for a flight to Saudi Arabia. She didn't even bother to show up for the vote. I remember when conservatives turfed premiers for this level of hubris.

there was a time and a place for cigarette money too. then news companies stopped doing that because the cigarette companies were lying liars about their harms to society. oil and gas companies are lying liars too. media should stop taking their pollution bucks!

Alberta taxpayers have paid out $240 million this year to settle lawsuits with coal companies because of our incompetent UPC. No wonder there’s no money for public healthcare and public education.

Having burned $3B+ AB taxpayer dollars on the aborted Keystone pipeline & tank car sh*t, the UCP is pursuing additional pipeline opportunities. How many more of our taxpayer dollars need to go up in smoke while our health, education & social service systems all suffer under these ignorant rubes?

very bad day for Alberta democracy. And there have been a lot of bad days recently.

Pretty much everything that comes out of the mouths of conservative parliamentarians is pure bullshit and I wish that Canadian mainstream media would start calling it out, or at the very least fact checking them.

When we elect conservatives, people die.

Once a world-class, distance-learning institution, Athabasca University is now in disarray, due to its pointless gutting - purely as a power play - by Nicolaides. This is important context for his constituents re: how he is now handling the teachers strike. thetyee.ca/News/2025/09...

“0% Travel to USA” is a Smart Response to Trump's 10% Tariff A further 10%? Really? Fine. Fellow Canucks, let's make Vegas fail. Florida dry up and fall into the sea. No travel to Trumpland. Zero. Nada. Zippo Let's see who hurts whom the most #elbowsup youtu.be/vjrV4Rm-YEA

New coal settlement alert! This time, 95M. The only reason we know this because the company posted the amount & not govt. This taxpayer money should be funding education & healthcare but instead, Albertans continue to pay for the UCP flip flopping on coal policy #ableg www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Canada, can we do this for the Shopify nazis? bsky.app/profile/5050...

Nope. Fight these. Come on NIMBY’s! You fight against things that help people. How about things that will actually hurt you?

Alberta government pays out $95 million to end another coal policy lawsuit Another company, Valory Resources, told me it also settled, but an official didn’t respond to questions about how much (if any) it’s receiving. From me today: www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/business/alb...

#cdnpoli #abpoli Collapsing the public system is the point. This is coming for #onpoli despite Doug wearing his Captain Canada cape. Hopefully MAGA UCP supporters will stick to Ivermectin, drinking their own urine, & whatever else is being shilled by one of their podcast celebrities.

Trump never had any intention of making a deal with Canada. This is simply a hostage situation with a mad man. #cdnpoli #Tariffs #uspoli

Trump has done what the 911 terrorists failed to.

@cbcradiocanada.bsky.social and Canadian medias are completely ignorant about the growing threat of fascism and far-right extremism. It’s not a difference of culture or opinions. It’s a group of people that want to destroy democracy and take away our rights People are NOT well informed by 🇨🇦 medias

Danielle Smith is a liar: “The UCP is committed, to all Albertans, that under no circumstances will any Albertan ever have to pay out of pocket for access to their family doctor or to get the medical treatment that they need,” said Smith. [2023] #abpoli #ableg edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

The entire ideological basis of fascism is "I can hurt you if I want" and they are completely helpless when the person they threaten says "And then?"

Officials warn against misinformation as rolls out flu, COVID vaccines www.thestar.com/news/canada/... "...getting vaccinated is an 'act of care and it is an act of community.'" "...much of the false & misleading information is coming from outside Canada, particularly the US." #VaccinesWork

Kind of common sense, which UCP lacks. “If five per cent of Albertans are deterred (by the $100 vaccine fee), that ends up costing all of us taxpayers a significant amount of money. By our estimates, it would exceed $65 million just on hospital costs,” www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

Maybe we should think about whether we should allow antivax premiers like Danielle Smith to make it harder to get these?

There never was any ceasefire. The whole thing was a scam to try to get Trump an international peace prize whose winner—as surely they should have known—had already been selected prior to the 48 hours during which the scam unfolded.

When the election is long past and you still don't know who your councillor is, please remember it's because Danielle Smith's base doesn't like electronic vote tabulators (which are accurate, have been used for decades, and saved time and money). www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS The working class gets to sacrifice again.

Stephen Harper’s friend.

Postmedia is owned and operated by a U.S. hedge fund closely allied with the Republican Party. It supports Pierre Poilievre, the tar sands, fossil fuels and more while being anti-labour, anti-indigenous rights and against a strong Canada. Please sign and share: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

There's a huge effort to get anti-science bills passed into law because anti-vaccine advocates and wellness grifters selling potentially harmful goods greatly profit from the undermining of public health.

This is the fundamental purpose of conservatism. It's a corrupt ideology.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

As a Canadian, I am totally fine with Trump destroying as much of the White House as it takes for anyone to try to stop him, if they ever do. It’s probably the one thing that he will destroy that will hurt the least amount of people.

"In an interview with CBC’s Edmonton AM morning show in April 2024, former municipal affairs minister Ric McIver admitted there was no evidence of any issues with the tabulators. “This isn’t about evidence. This is about the confidence of people,” McIver said." thetyee.ca/News/2025/07...

The Alberta government keeps constructing more & more barriers to accessing our health care. Jeopardizing basic public health will mean more needless harm to Albertans & more strain on our exhausted hospitals. We deserve better! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Without political posturing the UCP could actually govern, a little, to some degree, to the utmost of their abilities which is questionable. This is a party that politicizes everything. Even license plates FFS. Then lecture others? They have no moral high ground. They have no moral ground.

Premier Danielle Smith’s UCP motto is “corporatize profits, socialize losses”. For every critical public service, like HC & educ, UCP’s 2nd motto is “Defund, Criticize,Privatize”. UCP corruption is playing out in real time with UCP & pals filling their pockets with taxpayer💲. #FiretheUCP #ABpoli

Never forget as fellow members of the IDU, Republican & all Canadian Conservatives politicians are working to install #fascist #conservative authoritarians like Erdogan, Orban, Modi, Netanyahu & their govts. around the globe. Global chairman: Harper; 🇨🇦 chairman: #Poilievre #cdnpoli #onpoli

Guardian: Since Israel & Hamas signed the ceasefire, Israel has violated it 47 times, killing 38 Palestinians, wounding 143 more. Netanyahu still blames Hamas, all while he bans journalists to prevent independent confirmation of his claims. He Is A War Criminal. www.qasimrashid.com/p/guardian-r...

You watch, that ‘ballroom’ is going to be a gold 40 story Trump hotel. Anyone checked the permits, or has the Supreme Court ruled Trump doesn’t need any? America is now the world’s most corrupt nation. #FAFO Warning to Canadians if we are forced into an election, #MapleMAGA Poilievre copies Trump.

BINGO !!!

So we've got a name for it now. #DisasterIndustrialComplex. Just one more way the already rich get richer burning the world down around us. #ClimateChange #CostOfClimate
