The government that claims to know best can’t even competently handle introducing their bill to take away charter rights. nuff said. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

When asked again if Smith was entertaining the idea of recalling recall... She confirmed they are following and if the signature collection is successful they may look at changes. Because democracy. Or something. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The Skybox/CorruptCare scandal was center stage today in the legislature! Nenshi asked Smith if the skybox tickets were "worth it" and Smith responded by predictably blaming AHS. Again. Even though it was her idea and executed on ministerial order. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

WHOAH! There is so much to unpack in this clip! - Nenshi claims no Tylenot was shipped to Ukraine?!? - Smith still believes acetaminophen can replace opioids?!? (It can't) - Smith says that she might try to get the money back for the 1st time?!? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This is bonkers. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Wait… So RJ Sigurdsen and his wife just pseudo doxxed a disabled TikTok creator? That’s a bold choice to try and sway public opinion… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli vt.tiktok.com/ZSymy7hYU/

Wait… So just before the AER squashed public hearings on coal mines… (Which was unprecedented and resulted in huge outcry) The company that wanted the hearings squashed consulted with the chief of staff to Brian Jean? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

Looks like Pete Guthrie wants to know if Smith hasn’t learned her lesson and if the sole sourced contracts practices have continued! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

WOW! Pete Guthrie has filed legislative FOIP requests and one of them seems to suggest… Dani’s former Chief of Staff, Marshall Smith is making bank of his government connections? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

So… Former UCP Minister Pete Guthrie has asked Smith to answer some questions… These are basically legislative FOIP requests. And uh… What’s going on in Brazil now? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Looks like the ATA has something planned for later today… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

You know when you try and do an upgrade on a device and something goes wrong? Anyways, someone should probably run a diagnostic on the Premierbot 5000™️... Or at least someone better check if Alberta kept the receipt. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

With one of her own ministers telling his constituents the UCP will recall recall, Smith was asked today if there were any plans to do just that... Her answer? Not yet, but it depends on whether the signatures are successfully collected. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

🚨BREAKING!🚨 Jason Nixon and the UCP called social disorder in #YEG’s downtown a “fake NDP crisis” in the legislature today! No, for reals. Watch the clip yourself! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

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

“They stayed (those) charges because it was uncovered at the preliminary inquiry that the emails were sent through a dummy server in the Czech Republic,” He said the website allowed users to “mimic people’s email addresses.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli calgaryherald.com/news/crime/a...

“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

The recall on Angela Pitt is officially a go! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

By the numbers... This is how AUPE overwhelmingly voted in their strike vote today. With over 70% turnout, 98% voted for a strike. Of 11,031 votes, only 219 voted against a strike. You might think the UCP would start to notice a pattern... #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Tonight at 8! We’re dropping an episode we’ve been sitting on for WAY too long! We’ve got a conversation with @karlamarx1917.bsky.social that covers a LOT of ground! (We even get into Charlie Kirk!) See you at 8! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

“This reflects a flagrant disregard for fundamental rights and freedoms, and a cavalier attitude which is shocking to Albertans and to Canadians.” Criminal defense lawyers across the province weigh in on Smith’s use of the notwithstanding clause. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

“More than a hundred Mount Royal University faculty, staff and students gathered in a campus courtyard on Tuesday afternoon in support of Alberta teachers and to defend workers’ rights” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli calgaryherald.com/news/politic...

Thomas Lukaszuk and Forever Canadian have issued a statement on the UCP’s refusal to provide the funding that Elections Alberta says they need to properly execute on the recalls and referendums. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

“when one fundamental freedom is denied, it is possible to imagine other fundamental freedoms being denied, including our own “freedom of conscience and religion.” The church is condemning the use of tge notwithstanding clause. edmonton.anglican.ca/news/stateme...

With Smith deploying the notwithstanding clause on one front & setting up more… We asked @duanebratt.bsky.social at our live show for his assessment & whether or not Alberta is becoming more and more authoritarian. His answer should be required for all Albertans! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Rick Bell has upped himself yet again. His headline claims there is no jail for CP. There is absolutely still jail, up to a max of 14 years (and the max should be higher). Rick used be be about speaking truth to power. Now he’s just a mouthpiece FOR power. #abpoli #cdnpoli

“the screening program places a great deal of unnecessary stress on students and has little to no value for student learning” The ATA has weighed in on Nicolaides new testing criteria… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #abed

Today in committee… UCP MLA Scott Cyr tried to justify the committees decision on not re-upping the auditor generals contract to allow him time to finish alleged corruption allegations… David Shepherd wasn’t having it. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

NDP MLA David Shepherd held very little back as the UCP effectively fired the Auditor General in committee today… Including highlighting that for a government under suspicion of covering up massive scandals, this only makes things look worse. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

In a stunning display of competence… It took UCP MLA Scott Cyr multiple attempts to bring the motion which the NDP have condemned as being a potential coverup… That effectively fired the Auditor General. Who is investigating “corrupt care”, Dynalife & more. #abpoli #ableg

Having heard that teachers are exhausted and under resourced to provide mandated standardized testing… Nicolaides today… Introduced more standardized testing! And gave himself access to your kids specific personal information! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

When is True North not Juno news? No one knows! But today, True North suggested that the Feds should pay for education because immigrants & Nicolaides only pushback was because he wouldn’t want to give the Feds more control. The more things change…? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Can’t wait to see the staffing list… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

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

“Alberta’s Chief electoral officer Gordon McClure, speaking Monday to a legislature committee, said a recall campaign has been approved on United Conservative member Angela Pitt.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.thestar.com/politics/ele...

“To me that was completely trampling over democracy in any right,” Craig said. “To see her stand up and vote for it . . . I know that this is not in the best interest of the constituents in this riding.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli calgaryherald.com/news/politic...

“We were told that there are no beds in inpatient and that Ben is actually number four on the list waiting for a bed,” Healthcare in Alberta. First kids with cancer lost popsicles… Now they’re losing actual cancer care. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli globalnews.ca/news/1150372...

The NDP found their numbers! Bill 201 would - increase minimum wage to $18 over 3 years and then index it to inflation. - Eliminate the lower "youth" minimum wage (youth don't pay lower prices, after all) - Ensure tips stay with service staff. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The January PAT’s and diploma exams have been cancelled. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Pay very close attention… Danielle Smith is using extreme examples to normalize the use of the notwithstanding clause. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

“The Alberta government has missed a deadline from the office of the information and privacy commissioner (OIPC) to release access to information requests that include the results of the province’s Alberta Next surveys.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

Ooooo! Danielle Smith just issued a new set of rules for staff accepting gifts! (Even though there’s questions about the last rules being followed) And it has… A notwithstanding clause! Because UCP! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

“the UCP motion to limit debate on Bill 2 and pass the Back to School Act in one day is corrosive to democratic accountability” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli ablawg.ca/2025/10/30/b...

The Alberta President of the Canadian Bar Association has entered the chat… Calling out not only the preemptive use of the notwithstanding clause but also the limited debate as threats to the rule of law. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
