Long past time that we kicked this loser out

Populists like Danielle Smith also skip legislative and judicial scrutiny. Invoking time allocation. And the notwithstanding clause. Because they can't hack the hard work of liberal democracy. It's not conservative at all. It's negligently lazy.

True North Strong Free fuck the Vichy regime of Danielle Smith nationalnewswatch.com/2025/10/28/n...

Danielle Smith is using the notwithstanding clause to protect herself while crushing individuals' Charter rights. That’s not freedom, that’s cowardice. And Albertans won’t stand for it.

I really hope the ATA defies this illegal, undemocratic, and authoritarian order. It is an attack on the charter rights of all Albertans by a premier who fancies herself a queen #ableg #abpoli

I truly hope that the union rejects this illegal order and refuses to return to work, for the sake of the rights of all Albertans. This lawless assault on our rights cannot be allowed to stand #abpoli #ableg

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.

The UCP government has invoked time allocation and on a bill removing Albertans' Charter rights. And they're using the notwithstanding clause to do it. Here's why that is a dangerous precedent. And why real conservatives need to stand up against it. open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

This is an attack on the citizens of Alberta. An attack on democracy, on the rule of law, on the rights of labour, and on the very people we trust to educate our next generation. danielle smith should resign and stay in the middle eastern dictatorships she so wishes to emulate. #ableg #abpoli

It will be interesting to see how overriding charter rights, forcing a rejected labour deal on workers, and threatening substantial fines will impact Alberta's plan to add and recruit 3,000 new teachers over the next 3 years.

Danielle Smith and the UCP must resign or be forced from office. Today they have spat in the face of every single Albertan, blatantly violating our rights to cover for her own incompetence. This is an attack on the charter and an attack on the democratic and legal rights of every Canadian. #ableg

Authoritarians support fellow authoritarians.

We live in a joke province governed by unserious, corrupt, terminally online conspiracy theorists who disdain their own citizens. Smith needs to be removed from office before she irrevocably damages things. This is a distraction from the UCPs record of abject failure #ableg

Coal royalties in 2024/25 were $15.5 million. The government has now paid out more than $200 million in claims to Australian mining companies for bungling this file.

The UCP is a threat to democracy and has nothing but contempt and disdain for the citizens of Alberta. Smith is a would be tyrant queen. #ableg

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 32 YEARS, THE TORONTO BLUE JAYS ARE WORLD SERIES BOUND! THEY DEFEAT THE SEATTLE MARINERS 4-3 IN GAME 7!

I hope the unions refuse this blatantly illegal order and refuse to return to work. The government has caused this problem and has refused to negotiate in good faith from the very beginning. The public supports the teachers, not this authoritarian, corrupt, and unaccountable government.

Those of you standing in long lines for municipal elections in Alberta today: 1) stay in line; your voice matters 2) the long lines are a direct consequence of the conspiracy-driven policy changes brought forward by the UCP government (and not your beleaguered election workers); be kind

Not interviewed by Judge Wyant in a report that’s supposed to probe political interference into AHS -Health Minister Lagrange -her chief of staff -anyone on political side other than Marshall Smith, who left premier’s office last fall

Fuck Danielle Smith and the UCP’s authoritarian power grab. This abuse of the Charter must be stopped. They need to be reminded of who is really in charge in a democracy. #abpoli

Statement from the president of the Parliamentary Press Gallery, on Prime Minister Mark Carney’s trip to Egypt: “It is unprecedented that Canadian media be entirely excluded from a Canadian prime minister’s foreign trip.”

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Utterly embarrassing shit and not what he ran on. As we’ve seen hundreds of times by now, flattery and ass kissing this fascist loser only leads to double the humiliation later. If the CPC or NDP put forward a leader who is even semi-competent Carney will lose the next election by a lot.

Guthrie is a former UCP MLA. Worth a read.

If we believe in democratic order, let us put science & knowledge back at the heart of things…let us put culture, education & learning…let us protect our…young people from these social networks, let us give these social networks rules so that they have…the same rules as those of the democratic space

“you’d have to be wilfully oblivious to buy into the claim that the current provincial government is more trustworthy or capable. From spending, to dysfunction, allegations of corruption & mismanagement, where is Smith’s government coming up green, here?” www.readtheline.ca/p/jen-gerson...

This short passage from a Politico afternoon newsletter captures a huge amount of the advantage gained by lying at scale and the why the DC press corps remains wired for the GOP.

Socialize the losses, privatize the profits, same as it ever was for the UCP. The industry that owes Albertans hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes is getting yet more free public money while the UCP sabotages renewables. I can’t wait to learn which UCP donors get to loot the coffers this time

McAllister needs to resign over this, totally authoritarian, disrespectful, ignorant, (and weird!) response to a reasonable question at these sham forums. The UCP’s utter contempt for Albertans gets worse everyday.

This, but just about every definition, is fascism. The only question now is whether everyone lets it continue. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Of course, of COURSE, Danielle Smith blamed Ottawa for Imperial Oil's plan to lay off 20 per cent of its employees by 2027.

That’s the sound of a government that has grown too comfortable with not having to face the consequences of its actions.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

If you asked authors in 2023 to write a speculative fiction about month nine in an America turning towards fascism, none would have the audacity to write something like this.

“Two of the most senior purchasing officials at Alberta Health Services in 2022 were also briefly directors of a numbered company with ties to a supplier that has been awarded hundreds of millions of dollars in business by the health agency” The UCP must resign. Banana republic levels of corruption

Thus far, in governments' quest to protect kids from the increasingly-evident harms of social media, we've tried: -Befriending big tech -Sending sternly-worded letters -Pretending it's fine -Nothing None of it's worked! Let's try something else. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Yet more authoritarianism and trump-light politics from the most corrupt government in all of Canada. The UCP is a scourge.

None of this will make any difference in making the CFL more popular and will take away some of its uniqueness. Completely misunderstanding the issue.

Three days after the UN inquiry declares "genocide" in Gaza the Carney government says they are still waiting for "all the evidence" before taking a stand. What an epic moral failure.

From the DM’s… Medicine Hat has no obstetrical coverage for the entire weekend. While Danielle Smith goes to war with teachers and trans kids, Alberta’s 7th largest city has no obstetricians available to deliver babies. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Again, the contempt the UCP has for working people knows no bounds. Instead of properly funding education in AB, the UCP will instead spend taxpayer money on a propaganda campaign designed to smear educators. The government that is entangled in a billion dollars worth of corruption allegations.

The Pope is exactly right. No society can survive when one man becomes a trillionaire while the vast majority struggle to just survive — trying to put food on the table, pay rent and afford health care. We can and must do better.

The Republican-led US government is throwing its full weight, at the federal and state levels, behind punishing teachers, soldiers, or immigrants for their speech about the killing of a conservative pundit. It's as absurd and laughable as it is dangerous and dystiopian.

Further proof that the UCP & by extension the Alberta Government are bought and paid for pawns of the oil & gas industry. Just a disgraceful and shameless level of corruption.

EPS under the UCP has become a completely unaccountable organization that seems more interested in gaining power for itself than protecting the community it is supposed to serve. Crime is up & getting on the roads feels like entering Thunderdome, but this is what they’re concentrating on.

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

In Russia's air raid on Ukraine tonight, about 15 of its attack drones have entered Polish airspace, per Ukrainian channels. There's been a few instances of these drones crashing in Poland to date, but this appears to be the most significant Russian intrusion into NATO airspace yet.

No one would be confused about what is happening here if they saw it in another country.

Someone at Ferrari needs to dig the old Rolodex out of the closet and see if they still have the phone number for Pininfarina…

Listening to some of AI Minister Evan Solomon’s interview on Real Talk today & boy oh boy is it ever not making me more confident in AI or our approach to it. Truly an embarrassing lack of knowledge or ability to sell the idea at all. Not to mention speaking of it as an inevitability! Yikes #cdnpoli
