There is a reason that we do not have MLAs decide on electoral boundaries. Tossing out the Electoral Boundaries Commission and replacing it with a UCP-dominated committee is not just a bad idea. It is really bad for democracy. Ask the US, ask Hungary. This is not normal!
@cspotweet Drove by our made in Alberta solution the other night. Refine our oil sands resources here and maximize our resource production in our back yard at our NWR Refinery in Sturgeon County. We need a made in Alberta price to support our Alberta Advantage now more than ever! #ableg
Donald Trump is unhinged. That is a given.
The real test is what will the American people do about it?
There is an old truism, that in a democracy people get the government that they deserve.
However, the rest of the world did nothing to deserve Trump.

“Even as President Donald Trump threatens to absorb Canada, some Alberta voters are determined to break it apart.”

Separatists have an understanding with the UCP.
If they lose in Court to First Nations, premier will quarterback separatists, override Court decision again, and give them a referendum.
Yet premier refuses a Legislature vote on #ForeverCanadian petition. https://t.co/BlZVjYJmff
.@ABDanielleSmith Premier, you seem to be the only one confused about the intention of the #ForeverCanadian petition. Some 500,000 Albertans unequivocally requested a vote in #ableg, not a referendum. Let’s stop the divisive politics!
Maybe this letter will help you understand:
Remember when a journalist asked then education minister Adriana LaGrange for examples of “ideology” in what the UCP called the “NDP curriculum” and she didn’t have any?!?
Well they made their own curriculum now and the ideology is in the teachers?!
ASK FOR EXAMPLES!

First the book bans, now state-mandated curriculum. @ABDanielleSmith and the @Alberta_UCP are trading critical thinking for government control. Our children deserve an education, not an agenda.

Too corrupt to care about election laws or too dumb to understand them? Neither is really a good look for someone who is supposed to be leading our province.

FACT: Teachers already teach kids HOW to think, not WHAT to think.
UCP Bill 25 does the OPPOSITE.
It lets politicians decide what teachers can say, what boards can do, and what ideas are allowed in classrooms
Calling that “removing politics” is honestly incredible
Today, I sent a letter to the Alberta Legislature committee, urging them to get to work, refer the question ”Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?” and vote on it NOW.
The economic and social damage to Alberta is unacceptable. Stop the delay.
