"the government continues to take money out of the public system to fund the expansion of private surgeries." ideology before public health #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Wherein Tanya Fir refers to the next caller on her “callback list” as the “next motherfucker"... Not knowing that next person was a journalist. After she failed to hang up the phone properly. Just the most competent government ever. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

To recap… Demetrios incorrectly told people he would be authenticating signatures & can’t sign book bans properly… Tanya Fir couldn’t hang up a phone WITH HELP & called a constituent a “motherfucker” And they think that calling their competence into question is unfair? K.

Listen to Tanya Fir call people motherfu#kers. Must listen👇 What happens when you call your MLA? open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

CUPE fights for access ( #AxeTheVaxTax ), but UCP Resolution #19’s antivax minority is pushing a conspiracy-based policy to BAN safe mRNA vaccines. They are trying to take choice away! This is a dangerous, non-science contradiction #UCPAGM #ABleg #ABpoli

It could take years, if ever, for Canada to regain its measles elimination status. Next up, the US of Disease, thanks to Brainworm Booby.

Canada Is About to Lose Its Status as Having Eliminated Measles. One province with an outsize number of cases has seen a collision of politics and public health policy, by Rebecca Ruiz, Vjosa Isai www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/w... via @nytimes.com

The UCP government pretty clearly tried to artificially suppress demand for COVID-19 vaccines by forcing people to pay out of pocket for them. It didn't work. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

“This first use of the Charter’s notwithstanding clause in an act of the Alberta legislature is a stain upon your record & undercuts the credibility of the many calls you have made for all levels of government to respect the rights of citizens.” ATA to Smith today. #abpoli

BRAVO ALBERTANS!!! “UCP faces mounting challenges from its own Recall Act.” “The model for this Alberta-pure eruption is Thomas Lukaszuk’s stunning success in collecting 456,000 signatures for his #ForeverCanadian campaign.” #AbLeg #CdnPoli #abpoli calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

What is the "Corrupt Care" scandal? Pete Guthrie, who left the UCP over their refusal to call a public inquiry, summed it up impressively today. And he called out the UCP MLA's and ministers who remain silent on it. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Anglican Diocese of Edmonton questions use of notwithstanding clause on teachers’ strike

The UCP: introduces recall legislation and petitions to rid the province of pesky woke MLAs and policies The people: run a ‘stay in Canada’ petition and numerous recalls for UCP MLAs The UCP: nope, can’t possibly fund all those When you give power to the people you have to respect the people

Today Elections Alberta requested $13.5 million to be able to administer recalls and referendum. The UCP committee in charge revised their request to just over $1 million. And then voted it through. The UCP just defunded recall/referendum. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This morning at the Standing Committee on Legislative Offices...UCP majority introduces a motion starting a search committee for a new auditor general. NDP MLA David Sheppard says Doug Wylie wants to stay on two more years. Wylie is reviewing the allegations of inappropriate health contracting.

A reminder that this outcome was designed and predictable.

I'm in Burlington, Ontario, today. Popped by a neighborhood Shopper's to get my COVID-19 shot. Administered by an Ontarian. Paid for by the Alberta government. In Edmonton, the shot would have cost me $100 and I'd have had to wait weeks. Make this make sense.

If Albertans vote for this pos #DanielleSmith again I’m going to have to get the hell out of this province. What a clusterfuck this has turned out to be. AGAIN! #Covid #ableg www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"Among his top priorities is the new Alberta Whisky Act" #dalenally. Amidst massive crises in AISH, healthcare, education, and the soaring cost of living, how is a whisky act the most urgent item? Grab a pillow and scream. #ABpoli www.stalbertgazette.com/local-news/a...

PM Carney takes a jab at PoiLIEvre: “You know, one of the advantages of having your security clearance is you’re better informed about some of the threats [facing Canada], and I highly recommend that anyone either in a position of responsibility—or seeking it—has their security clearance.” 😂

I don’t want an election. I don’t think we should have to waste millions on an election. But if an election is forced on us by the opposition parties, I am 10000000000% prepared to make sure they suffer for it and will vote for Carney again. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Poilievre says he’d invoke notwithstanding clause to overturn ruling on child porn sentences. This asshole would run the whole damn govt on the notwithstanding clause. Trampling our rights and bypassing courts and the rule of law for his MAGA agenda. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Was skeptical of the AB Recall Act, but the FC petition success is proof that Albertans can mobilize. With UCP MLAs weak, recall campaigns—even if they miss the goal—will inflict political damage and leave a forever mark on their record. The forced fight is a win. Let's go RECALL! #ableg #abpoli

Hey #YYC! Looking for a way to let Demetrios and the UCP know how you feel about them revoking teachers charter rights? Thursday, students are gathering at his office to send a message! Let them know they aren’t alone! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #abed

Smith is utilizing school boards to send out this letter to parents… But missing from it in all of the spin is the fact that she REVOKED teachers charter rights. Almost as if she knows that what she did was an overreach and parents would be appalled. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

As Scott Sinclair’s constituency is erased from the maps… (After he was booted from the UCP for calling for greater supports for Northern Alberta) It’s worth looking at who attended the redrawing meeting. Because it wasn’t mayors or indigenous leaders. #abpoli #ableg

New from AUPE: starting tomorrow until November 3rd they'll be holding a strike vote. www.aupe.org/ahsnursingca... #Alberta #ableg #AUPE #yyc #yeg

An important note… Smith isn’t just overriding the federal Charter… She’s also overriding the Alberta Human Rights Act AND the Alberta Bill of Rights she just rewrote. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

#DanielleSmith has a personality problem because it's a lack of core values, honesty, and integrity. Her constant swerving with the political wind shows that principle is secondary to power. #abpoli www.tiktok.com/@anyonebutda...

“Smith’s personal approval has gone down to 38 per cent, a six-point drop from May. And nearly half of respondents — 47 per cent — reported that their opinion of the premier has worsened over the past six months.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli calgaryherald.com/news/politic...

Danielle Smith LITERALLY has never had a single original thought. 🤣🤣 #cdnpoli #ableg www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

My latest in the @edmontonjournal.com on the province’s pre-emptive use of the notwithstanding clause to override the Charter rights to strike…. And to meaningful bargaining… of 50,000 teachers #ableg edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

And this Leger poll was fielded way back at the start of the strike, before the province started paying for ads to attack teachers!!!
