Thank you for all of your support. We are close! If you have not already signed up to be a founding member please consider doing so this week. We want more members before we submit our application to EC. 🫡
David Eby is proving that blaming Trump for our problems no longer resonates with many Canadians. This should be a warning for Carney, the lies are starting to fail. People are waking up to the fact that our problems are caused by our own government.
Just had a 1-on-1 with @Drew__Barnes where I asked him his plans for his new Alberta Now federal party.
My takeaways were that this is a home for:
- Conservative-minded Albertans
- Albertans that want a values based approach that doesn't shift alongside the day of the week
- Independence supporters that have been cast aside by the CPC
- Good people, in general
These are my words, not necessarily his- but I'm excited at the prospect of this new party and I wonder where it's going to take us.
@EricLDaugh Dear @elonmusk :
Please consider extending cell service to Canada.
We’ll dump Telus, Bell & Rogers faster than Ilhan Omar can divorce her brother!
@MelissaLMRogers Pure coincidence the announcement - once again - comes as Carney hits the tarmac in a foreign country.
Nothing at all to do with the fact he doesn’t want to face the fire in HoC.
Not that at all.
You can’t hate Carney enough.
You just can’t.
@gmforbes35 What do we call this place . . . Canaruption, Corrupanada, Canorupda?
It's getting really hard to keep track.
Any light you can shed @MarkJCarney??
The Chair of Rio Tinto in Dominic Barton.
Carney just appointed Barton to lead his "Invest in Canada scam.
Barton: I'm doing this for free to serve Canada.
Today the Liberals are giving his company $100M

What is Carney negotiating on Canadians’ behalf?
Watch below 👇
Minister Williams wrote to me about the early release of the September budget documents from a closed session.
I will always accept the consequences of informing the public and keeping them in the budget process. Will the Mayor and administration accept the consequences of hiding non-confidential tax-dollar spending from them? I still fully invite the Minister to investigate my release of information, as well as every other complaint of leaks involving all council members, including the Mayor’s current term and his term as councillor.
What I released was not confidential information and it was not a wish list. It was the basic budget numbers for essential services that Council asked administration to prepare so we could prioritize spending. Administration delivered the figures. The fear that followed was about making hard choices in public.
The Mayor’s rhetoric about personal safety or police risk is manufactured. Nothing confidential was leaked. The public simply saw the real costs the Mayor and administration did not want them to see. His response to my admission was not consistent with how he reacted when made aware of other council members leaking actual confidential information. I’m not afraid of that scrutiny. I’m afraid of a city so unaffordable that people leave.
Would I have done the same thing if I could go back? 100%. At the time it needed to be done to keep the taxpayers in the process and to bring awareness to the abuse at city hall. The Mayor’s response has put a major black cloud on future whistleblowers with his reliance on control and intimidation. Advice from one of my colleagues was next time just do what everyone else does and don’t admit it.
To those angry or who disagree with my actions: I hope you can still appreciate that, if I can help prioritize spending, you get to be angry toward me while using safer streets, reliable transit, clean water, and working sewers. Those basics are the priority. Secretly pricing people out of the city for vanity projects is not.
