Alberta: Did you know that… AB Public Ed is the lowest funded in the whole country? In 2022, the UCP funded Charter Schools at $42.3M of your taxpayer $ (no other province funds Charters). By 2024, that amount had risen to $408M, an increase of 844%.

The top sized #fire index bucket is measured at 1000 hectares. More than that and the fire is extraordinary. #alberta currently has 5 fires larger than 20,000 hectares. Two of those are 70,000+. One is 132,000 hectares. All are out of control. And Smith takes a crew to go visit Trump.

Another important aspect is: "WTF are 4 cabinet ministers/ the Premier doing in DC?" For a gov't that is so touchy about jurisdictional creep, they are WAY too involved in international affairs. Particularly when our services at home are in the state they are & we have 23 out of control wildfires
