Only in Alberta... Does the mandate letter for the minister of environment include... - Increase the use of plastic products - Decrease protections for endangered species - Fight for looser emissions controls - Build an argument that Alberta's burning forests are Carbon sinks.

Wasn’t there an agreed upon condition between Smith and Carney that any new pipeline project requires private investment and a private proponent? If the industry doesn’t need the pipeline and doesn’t have a business case, no approvals or permits should be given. No public money.

When asked about Alberta having the lowest minimum wage in Canada as of tomorrow, Smith blamed the Alberta NDP for raising the minimum wage almost a decade ago... Saying "I don't want to put any barriers in place to employers hiring young people". /1 #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The loss of a true humanist, scientist, expert. Dr Jane Goodall inspired generations of young people to care about non-human life and the environment. And inspired countless women to become scientists and activist. Long may you reign, queen! Rest In Power.

BREAKING: We're moving the Live event about Imperial Oil's 900 person layoff to Thursday so we can report on @ABDanielleSmith's West Coast pipeline announcement. Click on this link to join the YouTube Live event. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli www.youtube.com/@EnergiMedia

It can be two things at once: Ottawa’s fault AND Alberta’s teachers!

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

Alberta's crude oil production hit an all-time high in July 2025, reaching 4.32 million barrels per day, but the province still has one of the highest unemployment rates in Canada at 8.4%. Pumping more oil with less workers helps the corporation shareholders but doesn’t help working Albertans.

Better late than never: our 18 pp (!) analysis of #ableg's so-called Mature Asset Strategy (w/ Shaun Fluker and @drewyewchuk.bsky.social). TLDR: the MAS is a thinly disguised attempt to rewrite the origin story of Alberta's O&G closure liability crisis and to push more gov't support & deregulation.

Two things: Bruce McAllister never said sorry, only that “he regrets the comment”. Second, Bruce McAllister says “he's committed to making sure the panel's events are respectful and constructive”. His moderation is consistently condescending and dismissive to opposing viewpoints.

Danielle Smith pushes for "parental rights" and "protecting kids," as justification to block teens from accessing lifesaving gender-affirming care. All the while, she hires people who publicly tell teens they should be beaten. The trend here? Smith and her staff pushing for stuff that hurts kids.

In addition to more deaths, as PROFIT is pulled from the system - the experiment in AB has simply costs more for more services... It was so bad for our privitization of lab services govt had to totally reverse course and abandon it at cost of 100s of MILLIONS lost... 3/4

buff.ly/XMoqtKl Hey Alberta! Get ready for this. The Premier has stated she wants to sell off our hospitals to private operators... and he govt has set up all the legislation so that this WILL happen...Maybe we should be aware of at what cost 🧵 : 1/4

In 1885, Montreal was ravaged by smallpox. To stem the spread of the disease that had killed thousands so far, public health officials enforced vaccinations. Those that mistrusted the vaccine rioted in the streets. This is the story of the Montreal Smallpox Riots. 🧵 1/10

Not only do the moderator and tech cut off a youth’s freedom of expression, but then the moderator suggests the teenager should be beaten by his parents. And no one on the stage says anything?!?! Not one “leader” up there is appalled?! Says no? This isn’t 1 person behaving unethically. It’s the lot.

Both NHS in the #UK and Health #Canada have recently done social media and press releases, contradicting the US health clowns and their disinformation. This is what should happen globally. Every country's health agencies should make public statements refuting this bs.

In 2020, the Supreme Court of Canada released its Friesen decision, directing that sentences for sex offences against children must increase. In 2023, the Alberta Court of Appeal ignored that decision and reduced the sentence of ex-teacher Paul Sheppard. The SCC has now restored the sentence.

If Americans don’t want to pay to keep their border security in our country, that pricey space can be cleared in airports for services by Canadians, for Canadians. The US is the only country in the world that expects/demands to have their customs agents based in other countries. Good riddance.

“Leave Grampa Joe’s hunting rifle alone!” PP’s new line. Pause. Repeat. He’s referring to a type of banned assault rifle modelled on the Russian Kalashnikov which is tailor made to kill as many people as quickly as possible.

The sovereign had spoken. Doesn’t matter that we are Canadian first, I guess. The 5 million Canadians living in Alberta aren’t even a rounding error for most international trade partners.

The fact that the UCP are going to stop tracking deaths of Albertans waiting for treatment, tells me that it's going to get worse I mean, why else would they stop counting 🤷🏼‍♂️ #ableg www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

My expectations of Canada Post are: • that it provides reliable, affordable services throughout Canada — even (especially!) rural locations; • that it does so through the efforts of an adequately-remunerated workforce. My expectations of Canada Post are NOT: • that it turns a profit. That's nuts.

I hate to break it to them, but guess what, the ROADS don't generate a profit either! Or the Fire Department! How many government handouts can we afford to make it so there's sewers under the houses! Unbelievable!

“A report by the CBC revealed that Pierre Poilievre hired the team behind Canada Proud to ‘boost his messages online.’ The organization has since been caught running disinformation campaigns targeting Mark Carney. Canadians deserve to know every last detail about Poilievre‘s ties to Canada Proud.”

Whether it's Tylenol causing autism or puberty blockers leading to permanent sterilization, populist leaders like Trump and Smith have zero qualms about spreading medical disinformation. The lack of humility is only surpassed by the lack of compassion for those in need of proven treatments.
