CNN: Trump argued that other countries would bear the brunt of his tariffs, but recent research shows the opposite. The cost was about $1,000 per household last year and is expected to rise to $1,300 this year.

He also claimed the tariffs would spark a manufacturing jobs boom, but that hasn’t happened.

[Kim-Bo @kim_gaetz]

Pierre Poilievre submitted $ 8.8 million in expenses in 2024, highest of all political parities.
Frank Caputo MP has the highest expenses among Conservatives, 2nd highest across all parities,
$ 769,158.93.
Mike Lake Con MP, $ 744,595 expenses.

Canada can't afford Conservatives.

We’ve brought 13 new physicians from the U.S. to Manitoba.

So, give us your poor, give us your weary, give us your Americans yearning to be free.

Here in Manitoba, we accept people as they are. We celebrate diversity. We keep our doors open to the world.

And we stand for free, universal public health care - and it will always be that way 🇨🇦

Danielle Smith spent years feeding separatist rhetoric inside the UCP nurturing anti-Ottawa anger to boost her own political brand. Now that Mark Carney and Smith are trying to push through a new pipeline deal, she’s facing backlash from within her own party.

Why?
Because the very anti-Canada sentiment she planted has grown into a monster she can’t control. The UCP base she radicalized doesn’t suddenly become reasonable just because she now needs cooperation with Ottawa.

Smith created this division.
She encouraged the hostility.
She built a party culture that rejects anything linked to Canada and now even her own members refuse to listen to her.

This is the price of political games: when you sow hate, you eventually lose control of it.

Real conservatives get it. The UCP is not made up of real conservatives. They're a new breed of power-hungry grifters, hell-bent on rigging the system for themselves and their wealthy patrons.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS:🚨
There's a Rumor going around that Pierre Poilievre is considering crossing the floor because even Pierre Poilievre doesn't like Pierre Poilievre. 🤪

[Gil McGowan @gilmcgowan]

On the same day & in the same meeting that UCP MLAs moved to undermine citizen recall campaigns against themselves by defunding Elections Alberta, they also voted to not renew the contract of the guy who is investigating the health care corruption scandal. We’re ruled by crooks.

🚨Dismal Numbers for Premier Danielle Smith: Alberta’s UCP Hits Rock Bottom in Latest Polls🚨

The verdict is in—and it is brutal. Albertans are fed up with the United Conservative Party’s (UCP) direction, and the data does not lie. Leger’s October 2025 poll paints a picture of a government in freefall, battered by a string of unpopular, divisive, and poorly executed policies.

Here is the damage:
· Smith’s Approval Craters to 39%
· Down five points in five months, with disapproval now dominating across every demographic. Her personal brand is toxic in urban centers and eroding fast in rural strongholds.
· Sixty-one percent Say Alberta is on the WRONG TRACK
· A 10-point surge in pessimism since spring. This is not just buyer’s remorse—it is outright rejection of UCP governance. Top voter concerns? Affordability (52%), health care collapse (48%), and a stagnating economy (35%)—all areas where the UCP is rated failing.
· Sixty-eight percent of Seniors REJECT Leaving the CPP
The UCP’s pet project—an Alberta Pension Plan—remains deeply unpopular, especially among seniors who rely on stable retirement income. Over 60% of those 55+ oppose it, and support for exiting CPP hovers below 25% province wide. This is not a debate anymore—it is a political landmine the UCP keeps stepping on.

Support Collapsing Everywhere:
· Edmonton (#YEG): UCP trailing NDP by double digits
· Calgary (#YYC): Once a battleground, now leaning solidly opposition
· Rural Alberta: Even traditional UCP bastions are cooling—net favourability down sharply amid backlash over education cuts, hospital closures, and separatist rhetoric.

The UCP now clings to a fragile 5-point lead over the NDP (44% vs. 39%)—the closest race in years. With an election looming, these numbers are not a warning. They are a death knell. From sovereignty posturing that alienates investors, to pension gambles that scare retirees, to health care chaos and skyrocketing costs—#Albertans are saying enough. The UCP is not just losing support. It is losing trust. Question for Alberta: How much more damage can we afford before we demand real change? #AlbertaPolitics #DanielleSmith #UCPFail #ABpoli #FireTheUCP #abpoli #ableg

If Danielle Smith uses the Notwithstanding Clause against striking Alberta teachers, she’ll be behaving like a Queen, not a Premier. Watch our explainer video on how the use of the clause would be a threat to our democracy AND our wages and standard of living (link below).

[Charles Prepolec 🇨🇦 🇬🇱 🇩🇰 🇺🇦 🇪🇺 @sherlockeditor]

🇨🇦 Every day they laugh at you for your believing they are working for you. The only interests they protect are their personal bank balances. Public healthcare and education in Canada? Not if they can make you pay. Con Premiers don't want to represent you, they want to rule you.

[Alberta NDP @albertaNDP]

Albertans deserve an ethical, competent government, and the UCP cannot deliver that.

The least they can do is call a full public inquiry and call it today. #CorruptCare

[The Breakdown @TheBreakdownAB]

Smith…

Who hired nephews of Mraiche…

- when she got elite tickets from his accountant (who she appointed to the board of invest Alberta)

- when her chief of staff moved into a mansion owned by Mraiches sister

Refuses to call a public inquiry

Because she did nothing wrong.

[Duane Bratt🇨🇦 @DuaneBratt]

Former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos wrongful dismissal suit claims that she was fired for investigating conflict of interest in procurement decisions. Judge Wyant's report confirms much of her statement of claim.

[Andrea Dekeseredy @AndieWinnipeg]

Bombshell in the Alberta Health Care Scandal.

Report is out.

Judge has found inappropriate actions in contract procurement.

[Marie Renaud 🇨🇦 @MarieFrRenaud]

Danielle Smith’s government is blowing up disability services in Alberta, poverty is deepening, healthcare in crisis, teachers on strike, her government reeks of corruption…her solution?

New license plates for Alberta so we look away.

Don’t.
