Albertans have spoken, loud and clear:
We don’t want to leave the Canada Pension Plan, we don’t want an expensive, unnecessary provincial police force, and we overwhelmingly reject the Premier’s reckless, separatist agenda.
Why won't Danielle Smith listen?
🔵 64 CHARGES LAID | WANTED 🔴
Following a year-long investigation, 4 people from Ontario are now facing 64 charges by way of warrant related to 18 incidents of taxi fraud that allegedly defrauded 16 victims of more than $28,000.
Between Tuesday, July 9, 2024 & Sunday, July 14, 2024, CPS received 19 reports of taxi frauds that appeared to have been committed by an organized group of individuals.
Police identified 2 methods the group used to conduct the alleged frauds. In the 1️⃣ first method, one of the suspects would approach strangers, posing as a person trying to pay for a cab ride & ask the stranger to assist them with payment by way of credit/debit card as the taxi was not accepting cash. The sum of the fare would range from $7 to $7.50 & the suspect would offer $10 cash to the victim for use of their debit or credit card. In the 2️⃣ second method, the suspect driver accepted fares as a regular taxi.
In both cases, the driver would give the victim a point-of-sale terminal, stating that the “tap” function was not working & that the victim would have to insert their debit card. The victim would insert their debit card, enter their Personal Identification Number (PIN), which may have been captured by the suspects on a skimming device.
The suspects would also swap the victim’s debit card with another stolen debit card. Once the transaction was complete, the group would use the victim’s debit card to attend a financial institution or stores, withdrawing money from an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) or purchase prepaid VISA or gift cards.
Further investigation revealed that similar events had occurred in Edmonton, Toronto & around the Metro Vancouver area. The individuals involved are not believed to have been licensed taxi drivers in the City of Calgary.
Investigators believe the suspects have left Alberta & may be in Ontario, where they are believed to reside. They are wanted on Alberta-wide warrants.
In July 2024, police issued a warning about this scam & provided the following tips to stay vigilant against scams involving ride share services. Tips can be found in the release linked below.

I've never been very strong on bench press.. always shoulder issues... I've always shyed away from going too heavy.. but 150lbs for 5 reps is pretty good for 63 years old...
@MondoABx She and the UCP have made a mess of every department. I never imagined I would need to pay for an MRI. They've dodged science and medicine and education. Their faith based politics must be stopped. Albertans will pay with their lives and their children's lives due to Dani
“Trump’s trade war is our opportunity to remake Canada the way we want it. There is neither need nor reason to panic. Canada can be a stronger, better, fairer country once we close our door to the United States.”https://t.co/1vusQJCNqX
I’m shocked about how many Canadians are dissing their own country these days. Canada is arguably one of the best countries on planet earth and I consider it a great honour and privilege to live here.
TRUMP negotiating tactics : threaten, temper tantrums, and post ridiculous misinformation on social media.
Mark Carney negotiating tactics: Calm, cool, collected, strategic and does it with grace.
If you're Canadian and aren't rooting for Carney then who are you rooting for? #elbowsup
We got somehow 8 Billion in surplus. But, we also have:
✅Schools crumbling.
✅Teachers to strike.
✅Rising unemployment.
✅Lowest minimum wage.
✅More Albertans use food banks.
✅Homelessness at historic highs.
✅Clawbacks for disabled Albertans
Call it fiscal Responsibility?
In April, the UCP claimed Alberta had a $5B deficit & used it to underfund healthcare & education.
Now, just under 4 moths, they announced $8B surplus. That’s $13B swing in160 days.
How?
They either misled Albertas or they’re fiscally incompetent. https://t.co/5LFs4YM6QL

Danielle Smith’s $80,000,000 kids med DISASTER could have paid for:
👩⚕️- 236 Paediatricians
👨⚕️- 912 Paediatric Nurses
🧑⚕️- 2,284 Paediatric Health Care Aides
💊- 6,672,227 bottles of ACTUAL kids Tylenol
We have NOTHING to show for instead
Why is Smith still Premier?
@karol According to CBS just a moment ago, the murderer is still unknown. CBS reported trump's post making false accusations the killer is *illegal*. A President-elect who was most likely briefed, knows the truth yet sends out FALSE messaging. Reprehensible.
