Just a reminder… While Smith and Lagrange are talking about the biggest factors influencing health outcomes and why they’re profitizing Alberta’s healthcare… The #1 factor that determines health outcomes is made worse by the policy. It’s poverty.

Holy mendacious framing, Batman! He did not clear Danielle Smith or her government of wrongdoing. He very clearly made it explicit that they wouldn't provide evidence that might implicate them.

UCP: We are the economic engine of Canada! Without Alberta, the entire country would be broke! Also UCP: We are too broke to fund education properly. Asking for the national average is “reaching for the moon”! Make it make sense.

Seconds after proposing a "complexity cap" instead of addressing class sizes, Smith was asked what that means... Her response? "I don't know" So we're back to doing complex policy via "Dani free associates words" again.

1000 new teachers over 3 years sounds like a lot, right? But - split those 1000 teachers over the approximately 2344 schools in Alberta…and now we’re talking less than half a teacher per school. Exactly how is that going to help deal with average classrooms of 40 students per class?

The federal government didn’t halt covid vaccine funding. They added more to health transfer to cover vaccine funding because vaccines are literally the provinces’ responsibility, so they gave provinces more money. Anderson, by the way, isn’t do dumb that he doesn’t know this.

The United States has just taken a giant step towards third world status. By enriching the 1% even further, by condemning to abject poverty and ill health/death anyone who isn’t a millionaire or billionaire, their government is setting the country up to become a banana republic.
