Seeing political misinformation can make you want to fire off a comment. That engagement fuels the algorithm, spreading the lie further. My article explores 'The Amplification Trap' Read more: medium.com/@marcneal/th... #Misinformation #DigitalLiteracy #Alberta #CDNpoli #MediaLiteracy

Smear campaigns aren't bargaining. Lies aren't negotiation. Spending public money to attack public servants isn't leadership. It's the desperate act of a premier who knows she's in the wrong. Shame on you, @ABDanielleSmith. Get back to the table. #abed #ableg

Your tax dollars are funding Daniel Smith's lies. While she cries poor at the bargaining table, she's spending a fortune on a smear campaign against the very teachers she refuses to deal with in good faith. This isn't fiscal responsibility—it's a pathetic, costly tantrum. #abed #ableg

Daniel Smith's UCP is burning public funds on a smear campaign against the teachers who held this province together. Instead of negotiating in good faith, she lies and launches attack ads. A disgusting new low from a government with no plan and no shame. #ableg #abed

#UnemploymentCrisis Alberta’s unemployment rate is 8.4%—the second highest in Canada. Smith’s separatist rhetoric and policy chaos are driving away jobs. #AbEconomy #SmithsAlberta

Danielle Smith's book ban achieved its goal: high-order chaos. The news is dominated by a manufactured crisis, forcing binary "for kids or for porn" argument pitting Albertans against each other. Meanwhile, healthcare fails, schools need funding, and insider deals. Mission accomplished. #AbLeg

1/10 Let's call the Alberta Gov's "book ban" what it really is: rage farming. It's a manufactured crisis designed to divide us over a non-issue, while ignoring the real problems in our schools. #ableg #abed #bookban

OPEC's expansion hurts Alberta: prices drop, jobs vanish, Smith has no plan. Her refusal to diversify killed $33B in green projects. 82% of us want a real energy transition. She's driving us off a cliff. #UCP #abpoli #abeconomy #danielleSmith

#AlbertaNextSham Smith’s “Alberta Next” panel is a divisive farce. Scripted rallies, extremist rhetoric—all while healthcare crumbles. An embarrassment. #abpoli #ableg #UCPlies #ucppropoganda

Smith’s government is privatizing our healthcare while lying about "protecting it"! She's been exposed political interference in AHS to favor private contracts, risking affordable care for families. Smith now forces people to pay COVID vaccines and cutting transparency for minister expenses. #ableg

#PublicTrust: Erosion of Accountability Smith’s silence on scandals and deflection via "third-party investigations" undermine trust in governance. For families, this means less faith that their bread-and-butter issues are being addressed. #Accountability #ABpoli

While global factors play a role, Smith’s policies (e.g., antagonism toward federal programs) could worsen inflation for essentials like food and gas. Families around the kitchen table are feeling the pinch. #CostOfLiving #ABpoli

Smith’s sovereignty agenda and separatist rhetoric (e.g., threatening Alberta’s exit from Canada) risks destabilizing investment and economic stability. For households, this could mean higher energy prices and reduced job security—classic kitchen table concerns. #ABpoli #Economy

Her book ban backfired, so she threatened schools for "vicious compliance." True authoritarians punish those who follow their own vague rules. #ABLeg #FascismAlert #DanielleSmith #Alberta #HoldPowerAccountable

Smith’s government orders school boards to remove 'sexually explicit' books, then calls it 'vicious compliance' when classics like The Handmaid’s Tale end up on the list. This isn’t about protecting kids—it’s about politicizing education. #BookBan #Censorship"

Remember when Danielle Smith promised a $760 tax cut per person? Now she says we might get half in 2026—just in time for the next election. Meanwhile, she’s hinting at deficits. So much for 'your money, not the government’s.' #BrokenPromises #SmithMath

Danielle Smith hits on Quebec, Alberta's real crises are here: highest insurance rates, soaring energy bills, lowest education funding, underfunded healthcare, and a worsening homelessness crisis. Demand better leadership that prioritizes Albertans,not distractions. #AbLeg #AbPoli #DanielleSmith

Smith’s “overtaxed” lie hides the truth: she’s defunding schools and AISH to fund vanity projects while blaming Ottawa. #ABLeg #UCP #SmithBetrayal #AISH #CDNPoli medium.com/@marcneal/th...

Volunteers aren't just helpers—they're unpaid employees with equal rights. For minors, this demands extra care. Are your supervision and accusations fair? @journalists, this is a real set of events, #VolunteerRights #YouthProtection #HRCompliance #SafeguardingYouth medium.com/@marcneal/gu...

Remember when Alison Redford resigned over $338k. Danielle Smith is being investigated for over $747 million in scandals, yet the UCP protects her. Buried audits, fired whistleblowers, and your tax dollars being redirected. When did we become so numb to this? There are steps you can take! #abpoli

Alison Redford resigned over $338k. Danielle Smith oversees $747 MILLION in scandals—and the UCP shields her. EXPLOSIVE proof of buried audits, fired whistleblowers, and YOUR cash funding corruption. READ 👇 #ableg #ucp #corruption #daniellesmith DEMAND ANSWERS. medium.com/@marcneal/al...

Deaniell Smith treats a NO like it is a yes, please. Wrong on so many levels. #abpoli #noprovincialpolice #DSlies ca.nextdoor.com/p/3_Nkz_yNts...

Trump just killed US-CA trade talks over our digital tax. Same script. We won’t cave to TACO theatrics. His EU threats? ☠️ in 72hrs. G7 ultimatum? 💨 Expired. This "walkout"? Just leverage for July 9 tariffs. Canada’s move: Stand firm. Tax stays. Let the tantrum fizzle. Again. #TradeTACO #CanadaUS

Saw a CEO fake "inclusive strategy" to save a change-resistant org. He put loud critics on flashy committees—then quietly tripled throughput & grew revenue 300% in 4 years. Lesson: Democracy fails when culture sabotages change. medium.com/@marcneal/ho... #Strategy #ChangeManagement #Leadership

Smith’s "Alberta Next" Voting to DENY healthcare/housing to immigrants. - ILLEGAL (federal jurisdiction) - CRUEL (scapegoats vulnerable). - TAX-FUNDED HATE. Her video blames immigrants for housing crisis → LIES. 200K+ new Albertans came from OTHER PROVINCES. #ConstitutionalArson #UCPHateMachine

Ditch binders. Build bridges. Kill shelfware SWOT. Build on data, not quicksand. Tend like a garden, not a blueprint. Fix flawed planning. 👇 #StrategicPlanning #Leadership #ExecutionExcellence #DataDriven #NoMoreBuzzwords medium.com/@marcneal/yo...

Danielle Smith’s "Alberta Next" survey is state-sanctioned bigotry. Literally voting on whether to DENY healthcare/housing to immigrants. #XenophobiaFunding #ConstitutionalArson #ScapegoatPolitics #UCPTheatre #WeNeverAskedForThis

Interesting project I worked on. open.substack.com/pub/marcneal...

That "urgent" all-hands email cost a nonprofit 28% staff turnover. Why vague crisis comms backfire – and the engineering fix. Have you seen panic sabotage change? #ChangeManagement #Leadership Trust Tax: What That Vague ‘All-Hands Email’ Really Costs You medium.com/p/the-trust-...

Funny how Alberta’s ‘worst life on earth’ somehow includes: - Most millionaires per capita in Canada - $22B/year in oil subsidies - Zero provincial sales tax But yes, please tell us more about your ‘struggle’ while holding office in a province with the nation’s highest disposable income. #abpoli

Danielle Smith declared that Alberta has the world's lowest standard of living. Congrats! Meanwhile, in reality: - Alberta: Highest median income in Canada - Canada: #16 globally on UN Human Development Index - Actual lowest: Chad, South Sudan, Niger But sure, keep comparing Edmonton to Mogadishu.

Alberta’s "crown royalty reductions" = $1.16B/year corporate welfare. Smith calls this "market freedom" while demanding MORE federal pipelines. Translation: socialism for oil CEOs, austerity for you. #HypocriteAlert #ABpoli www.iisd.org/articles/unp...

44% now borrow for groceries. Insurers DOUBLE profits while denying claims. How survival became a corporate revenue stream. #DebtCrisis #PredatoryCapitalism #EconomicCollapse medium.com/@marcneal/th...

Smith’s AER lets oil giants offload $60B in well liabilities + $57B in mine cleanup costs onto taxpayers. That’s $70,000 per Alberta household. She attacks "Ottawa overreach" while enabling THEFT. #FossilFuelFraud #ABpoli

Smith’s Alberta took $1B in federal COVID funds to "clean wells." Reality: 20% went to CNRL, displaced industry’s own cleanup budgets, & ignored Indigenous sites. Ottawa paid oil giants to avoid their legal duties. #PolluterWelfare #ABpoli

@ABDanielleSmith screams "no subsidies" while Alberta oil rides $21B in federal TMX financing. Your pipeline, our cash. Hypocrite wants coastal access AFTER taxpayers ate $34B cost overruns. #SubsidyJunkie #ABpoli

Danielle Smith attacks "Ottawa’s net-zero policies" while Alberta TAKES: $1.6B/yr from federal climate finance Carbon tax rebates for families Clean tech grants for O&G Biting the hand that feeds your base. #ClimateHypocrisy #ABpoli*

Smith’s REAL bosses: TBA extremists who want: Bibles in schools Abortion bans “Purity” pledges She’s THEIR project. Not yours. #TheocratTool #daniellesmith #weakleader

A premier who blames cancer patients, hugs insurrectionists, and bets on dead pipelines isn’t ‘strong’ – she’s a national embarrassment. #daniellesmith #abpoli #ucp #nationalembarrasment

@ABDanielleSmith’s “$14T oil fantasy” is corpse paint on a dead pipeline. 0 companies want Prince Rupert after Enbridge bailed in 2016 IEA says oil demand peaks by 2030 – Asia wants hydrogen, not high-carbon sludge #DropTheDeadPipe

Funny how the Alberta Sovereignty Act only seems to apply to Ottawa, not to: $100M oil well cleanup subsidies for CNRL $11K/shoulder surgeries for donors $70M ‘Turkish Tylenol’ ghost contracts But sure, tell me more about ‘standing up for taxpayers. #ABLeg #UCPCorruption #SmithScandal

UCP math: Public shoulder surgery: $4,833 Private clinic surgery: $11,243 (133% markup) Firing AHS CEOs who question it: Priceless. But go off about ‘efficiency.’ #PrivatizationScam #CorruptCare #SmithResign #ABHealth #AlbertansPayUCPPlays

Dear Oil Execs: Thank you for letting us pay $100M to clean your wells while you post record profits. Thank you for the $2.3B debt to fund the Heritage Fund you lobbied against. Sincerely, Alberta Suckers #RStarScam #UCPFails #OilsWelfareQueens #ABDebt #SmithForSale

BREAKING: Smith to replace Alberta’s motto with ‘Nihil Lucrorum Nimis*’ (No Profits Too Great) after: -Selling AHS to Turkish Tylenol brokers - Paying oil firms to breathe our air - Declaring child poverty a ‘lifestyle choice’ #UCPGrifters #Albertastan #SmithForThe1Percent #ABpoli"

I wouldn't be surprised if amoebic dysentery endorsed Poilievre. #CdnElxn #CdnPoli #Elxn2025 #CanadaStrong #NeverPolievre #ElbowsUp

Senada and I were talking about Poilievre and concluded that if Trump talked tough with him, he would run from the room crying. That is one of the many reasons why we voted Anyone But Conservative. #poilivreliestoyou #AnyoneButConservative #canadaelection2025 #abc #VoteWisely #votenow
