Note to Daniell. I’m pretty sure there are more voters in AB who feel we should manage gun ownership than UCP supporters with assault rifles. Do the math or have an election and let us decide.

Bob Fife "Poilievre is behaving like a child and not being serious." Called his pipeline motion a "stunt" this week. Criticizes him for calling important trade missions vacations. Said his behaviour is "turning people away"

With the last session of the legislature now closed in Alberta, Danielle Smith said their priority was making things better for Albertans. The 21 MLA recalls (20 UCP and 1 NDP) that have been approved, inclucing Danielle Smith herself, says otherwise.

Canada cannot rely on the US as an ally anymore, and neither can any of its traditional allies, the big difference is that we're right next door and they've threatened our sovereignty. The US under Trump is a rogue state with Canada in the crosshairs.

Never since 1905, when Alberta became a province, was a petition with nearly half a million signatures tabled in the Legislature. Never was a Premier presented with such clear choice between right and wrong. Premier, do the right thing. Avoid a divisive referendum.

How would an MLA know which constituents vote in a provincial elections? This information is privileged only to Elections Alberta. Also, any elector can initiate a recall, irrelevant of whether they vote. UCP wrote this law.

Alberta has the 9th largest gas reserves in the world. And the 1st dumbest government in the world. You can't buy a combined cycle turbine (necessary for building a gas plant) until 2031. Global demand for NG seems to have outpaced the UCP's governin' abilities. Again.

When the UCP invokes the NWC to target trans kids today, I will be remembering that a week ago my MLA for Fort Sask - Vegreville said this was not a thing. The UCP literally doesn't care what Albertans think, need, want. They are corrupt and immoral.

An errant voicemail gives us insight into how the UCP is handling the backlash against its use of the notwithstanding clause. They're not doing well.
