So let me get this straight. Pierre Poilievre blocked a motion to investigate Russian propoganda influencers within 🇨🇦 (who specifically their working with), refused to undergo a security check to gain access to the classified report on foreign interference and voted against ..

By request...

Here is the full, unedited speech from @nenshi today in #YYC.

He openly condemns Smith's new anti-trans policies and calls her out personally.

This is a speech the likes of which Alberta hasn't seen in quite a while.

[The Breakdown @TheBreakdownAB]

In #YYC the rally to protect trans kids hasn’t even started yet and a couple of hundred people are already here to show their support for trans kids and everyone else Smith is attacking with this new set of UCP polices…

We’re gonna try to live tweet!

@cspotweet Mayor: “Yes. I’d like six donuts, please”

Baker: “Half a dozen donuts coming up.”

Mayor: “No. Not a half a dozen. I only want six.”

Some things people need to understand about Pierre's approach to scrums. First, it takes enormous ego and boundless disdain to confidently pursue his approach. Most people would wither under the stress of playing the game he is playing. They would worry about looking the fool. /1

[The Breakdown @TheBreakdownAB]

Smith says that they have seen EMS code reds, increased ED times, extended surgical wait times.

Basically she's saying that healthcare has been a disaster for the last several years.

Hey, who's been in charge for the last 5+?

Someone explain to me, like I’m 5, how our focus in this province is not on hospice care. Why do we not have more #hospice end of life care beds? My 95 year old grandmother, who has lived in High River nearly her entire life, had to be hospitalized last night. And instead of…

[Rachel Notley @RachelNotley]

The UCP's consultation on the future of the Canada Pension Plan is being done via telephone.

No in-person sessions. Such cowards.

The UCP won't even travel to communities and look Albertans in the eyes and tell them why they're willing to gamble with their retirement security.

[Gil McGowan @gilmcgowan]

Danielle Smith continues to repeat her claim that Albertans “over contribute” to CPP. But this is a blatant lie. All Canadians pay exactly the same rate. We have a younger workforce, so we have fewer folks collecting pensions RIGHT NOW. But they will later. Smith is a huckster.

Remember this?

Danielle Smith is desperately hoping you don’t.
