Having opened door to Alberta separation vote, UCP changes rules to block competing referenda. albertapolitics.ca/2025/12/havi...

Its no surprise that the same people who want charities be the social safety net are the same people who want charities to have "freedom of conscience" to decide who is and isn't worthy of charity.

Danielle Smith “no longer has any credibility when she says that she’s not a separatist. She changed every rule in the book, just for separatists. Then…she closes the doors again.” #cdnpoli #Canada #Alberta #abpoli #ableg #yyc #yeg #CanadaSky #ForeverCanadian albertapolitics.ca/2025/12/havi...

United Nurses of Alberta President Heather Smith said eliminating information on COVID-19 outbreaks increases the risk of exposure and transmission of the disease. “Not even providing the information is just blatant suppression. And to what end?” Smith said. www.stalbertgazette.com/beyond-local...

Can the government assure Canadians that the funding for any pipeline will come exclusively from the private sector and that this project will not proceed without the consent of affected Indigenous rights holders? #cdnpoli #SenCA

The science behind gender-affirming care has been endorsed by every major medical organization. This isn't about science or medicine. It's about the discomfort many non-trans people feel over the *existence* of trans people.

Alberta’s proposed Fairness and Safety in Sport Act is anything but fair theconversation.com/albertas-pro...

“So Albertans who don’t want to see their country destroyed, their pensions looted, their streets flooded with firearms and their province eventually absorbed by the shit show to the south had better wake up and smell the coffee.” Mmmhhhmmm. #Abpoli #Cdnpoli #Canadasky

Alberta Government cleared legal obstacles and circumvented Court decisions to help separatists. They are separatists. #ForeverCanadian will be ready to defend Canada in a referendum. Please, register yourself as a supporter at Forever-Canadian.ca edmonton.citynews.ca/2025/12/16/a...

🧵/8 Alberta is Canada's #RightWing, Conservative™️, #FreeMarket capital. This is where these ideas get to SHINE. Question 8: WHY ARE SO MANY ALBERTANS SO POOR? bsky.app/profile/kims... #abpoli #cdnpoli

Jack Smith just revealed that Trump broke the law: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

I don't have an issue with a higher barrier of entry for citizen driven initiatives or recall petitions. But the huge fee jump shows the UCP is once again talking out both sides of its mouth about empowering grassroots Albertans - or that they're just bad at crafting legislation

And I wonder what the UCP means when it says "frivilous"? Would be easy to say it's pointed at the onslaught of recall petitions - but is it a back-handed way at criticizing the anti-private school funding drive, or Corb Lund's anti-coal, believing that they are "frivilous"?

The timing of limiting initiatives is also incredibly suspect, *right* after the APP refiles its sovereignty petition and during Xmas break. It's hard to read it as anything other than the Premier wanting to ensure the APP question going to a vote, whatever her reason might be.

As someone who immigrated to Canada this is personally terrifying Under such a system I would have been “lucky” that I got cancer after I had been here for long enough to become a citizen.

The exact same wrecking ball to democracy that is destroying the USA is being swung by Danielle Smith and the UCP in Alberta. Pay attention, Canada. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #elbowsup #canada

He has no official status or authority to be representing Alberta in any way.

Her clowns, her circus. calgary.citynews.ca/2025/11/29/a...

It sure would be nice if the Premier of Alberta would call out this treasonous behaviour by one of her own party members for what it is.

From the DM’s… So patients are discharged from hospitals to seniors homes that can’t support them to free up space in hospitals… But they go back to the ER because those facilities can’t support them. The UCP haven’t solved healthcare… They’ve created a mobius strip.

Argh!! youtube.com/watch?v=I0Z0...

Can comfirm. Since we started surveying Albertans in 2019, this is the *only* policy reform that's received majority support in the province.

📣 Media looking for an important story related to prisoner abuse, pharma lobbying, public sector profiteering & expert advocacy –– this letter has it all and more. I included the full letter along with the government's new Sublocade policy + BCCSU's 2023 guidance for comparison. Please run with it!

Holy moly, #Alberta, things are a mess in health care. We have multiple OB units closed "indefinitely", wait times over 8 hours and close to 12 (!!!) the other day, highest ICU since Mar 2024, and 7 more covid deaths. www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/e... @yyccowboy.bsky.social @pfparks.bsky.social

fucked up #Alberta is to #Canada as fucked up #Texas is to the #USA.

Faith!? What the fuck? Albertans didn't vote for religious based govt. The UCP did not campaign as a faith focused/driven party. No one voted for religious overlords. Are they planning to "notwithstand" evangelical Christianity down our throats? There better be an election in the new year. #ableg

Definitely giving this:

Yet, DS blames AHS for missteps, as if it is a separate body. She always needs to blame someone else, since all she does is deflect, deny & avoid any accountability. Enough is enough! #ableg

You *don't* do it by spending $1.7 billion to recruit internationally while funding continues to stagnate at woefully insufficient levels at home. www.science.org/content/arti...

Not sure how many Albertans want this plan... but I don't recall the UCP campaigning on "Let's Make Charities Great Again" Or stating they were going to privatize HC and Education to for-profits and abandon any govt social safety net... 10/10

One in five households cannot guarantee their next meal. And the Premier’s response: let’s give more TAXPAYER MONEY to rich for-profit businesses, and let the charities sort out the rest… foodbankscanada.ca/h... proof.utoronto.ca/20... 9/10

AB has consistently high rates of "severe" food insecurity = meaning people are skipping meals or going entire days without eating because they cannot afford it. The "Alberta Advantage" right now is apparently the advantage of starving faster than the rest of the country. 8/10

2025 data: nearly 31% of AB households are struggling to put food on the table (significantly higher than the national average) 7/10

The "Lazy Poor MYTH": all food bank users are just "lazy" is not factual. 19% of clients are employed. = ABs with jobs who still cannot afford to eat = failure of wages, not work ethic. 6/10

Children: 36% of food bank users are children = ~ 76,000 visits in a single month made on behalf of children (not all “orphans” i’d guess) 5/10

Big Surge: This represents a 21.8% increase from 2024 = second-highest jump in the entire country (only behind the territories). Since 2019, food bank usage in Alberta has exploded by 134.4%. (Who's been governing since then?) 4/10

Monthly Visits: In March 2025 alone, there were over 210,500 visits to food banks in Alberta = people begging for basic sustenance in a resource-rich province 3/10

What do Albertans need a govt for if they're planning to supply social care via churches & faith based groups? #abpoli #UCPCorruption #RecallThemAll

"In this rush to amass power in the premier’s office, Smith has made it clear she will listen to no one but those in the UCP who support her extreme views."

You don’t say. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Why play the game if you can just rewrite the rules? This “government” is a joke and an embarrassment.

“Mostly, however, it’s concerning that they aren’t listening to people who should be able to get through to them; their voters and supporters in rural Alberta. If they don’t have any sway with the UCP, then I think it’s important to ask who does.” #ableg #abpoli open.substack.com/pub/womenofa...

With UCP separatists in the driver’s seat, Alberta’s likely to face the biggest disinformation campaign since Brexit. albertapolitics.ca/2025/12/with...

NEW Federal prisons are removing methadone and Suboxone opioid treatments, leaving only a patented once-per-month injection for prisoners. A large group of experts is raising serious concerns about harms to prisoners––and the corporate motivations behind the move. drugdatadecoded.ca/150-experts-...

Today marks 10 years since the release of the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, an invaluable record of the crimes and injustices committed through the residential school system.

Why is the UCP supporting separatist actions? A government that supports the actions of people seeking to take Alberta out of Canada needs to be out of office.
