Even if the polls climb over 90% in favour of Alberta staying in Canada and the referendum goes ahead, it’s still important for everyone to go and vote to really drive the point home. Crush it.
Bonus: we can vote no to all of UCP’s other racist and dumb ideas.
The UCP doesn’t want you to know:
The Feds gave Smith $1.7B to clean up wells sites.
She gave $171M of that to Murray Edwards (part owner) of CNRL (largest oil Canadian oil company) which had just reported a $32.8B profit.
Edwards also walked away w/$336M for arena
If you want to lessen addiction - address poverty.
If you want to lessen mental health issues - address poverty.
If you want to lessen homelessness - address poverty.
If you want to lessen crime - address poverty.
If you want to address chronic health conditions - address poverty.
If we want a happier and healthier society for everyone then we need to address poverty. It's pretty hard to thrive when all you're doing is trying to survive.
Why won’t Pierre Poilievre just take the hint and go away?
Because he’s got nothing to lose.
Literally.
No career outside of politics, no job skills and certainly no people skills.
He’s another Andrew Scheer.
Pierre Poilievre was fired, but he continues to receive free room, board, and all expenses paid to help him find another job. He doesn’t seem to mind government $ support - when it’s for him and his family. 🤷♂️

Great to see some Premiers at the Throne Speech today.
Have not seen Danielle Smith.
If she is not present, it is incredibly telling that she would rather fly to Florida to wait in a photo op line with Trump than attend a ceremony with Canada's head of state.
Every government in Canada needs to follow this model.
It's cheaper to house the homeless than it is to pay for hospital beds, jail cells, and temporary shelters.
Thank you @WabKinew for your leadership on this issue.
AISH is income replacement for severely, permanently, disabled Albertans at $23,000 per year.
AISH also supports stage 4 cancer patients without income/assets.
Danielle Smith is taking away the $200 Canada Disability Benefit from eligible AISH recipients.

Pretty embarrassing for the CPC Party that their leader now has to run for a seat in the most safe riding in Canada, after failing in Carleton where he has been a MP for 20 years. That speaks volumes.
A man who said parliamentarians should serve no more than 2 terms is taking over the safest blue riding imaginable, from a democratically elected MP, to save himself from sinking after serving seven consecutive terms & finally being voted out by citizens in his own riding.
Think about PP’s platform- have addiction problems? we’ll force you into treatment . Unhoused? we will arrest you. LGBTQ, women, PwD, “woke” we don’t care. Working on research say women’s cancer? Woke. Need child care- tough. HC? Whatever. Charter of rights? Not on my watch.
