ds (only deserving of lower case) seemingly won’t rise to any occasion that will actually be a benefit to our province. I’ll chip in for a one-way ticket south for her & good riddance! 🤮

She’s an absolute disgrace & eyesore on the #alberta landscape! She needs serious tutelage from Doug Ford! I’m not a Con, but I can get behind him & his defence of his COUNTRY over the politics of a province. Smith should just fly south FOREVER!

Thanks @mariadunnmusic.bsky.social ❤️

Well said Ken…as always!👏👏❤️

The boycott is strong. Canadians will not break. We thank our allies and friends from across the world who are supporting our fight. Boycott the felon administration. Spend your travel dollars elsewhere. Don't spend a dime in the USA. Here is my latest interview. ottawa.citynews.ca/video/2025/0...
