This is an email that has been sent out by the UCP. As a teacher in this province I am heartbroken and disgusted by it.

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Speaker Johnson says the White House "certainly tried" to find funding for the SNAP program, which runs out on Saturday and means disaster for millions.

Did they look behind the $40 billion given to Argentina?

Smith should resign! Her cuts to firefighting resources, and general climate denial have contributed to this disaster. Her government is perhaps the most irresponsible in Alberta history. And no @ABDanielleSmith , you don’t get to blame @JustinTrudeau for this one.

[Lisa MacGregor @lisamacgregor]

Just spoke with a Jasper resident that left town at 2 AM this morning. This is a photo he took of his friend’s house burning on west side of Jasper @GlobalEdmonton

[Shelby Grace @ShelbyGraceOSh2]

Ever notice how @ABDanielleSmith never takes accountability? Whether it’s wildfires, floods, crime etc she never owns up when it was her government making the mistake. She never says sorry, but instead blames Trudeau. Or in this instance, the Town of Jasper.

2 days ago.
Fire starts.
Jasper evacuates.
Smith calls the mayor of Jasper names.

1 day ago.
Smith asks for federal help.
Feds oblige.

Today.
Jasper burns.
Smith does her best soap opera cry at the presser.

Come on.

[Emily @Peskyniece]

Jasper is a National Park, yes. But there is no NATIONAL firefighting service. THAT is up to the province. The Feds send HELP to the PROVINCIAL firefighters. This is a Danielle Smith and UCP fuck up. Not Trudeau. #JasperNationalPark #DanielleSmithIsUnfitToLead

[Vicki Campbell🇨🇦 @merry123459]

The fire in Jasper Alberta growing out of control is direct result of Danielle Smith not asking for help from the federal government sooner. Trudeau cannot help until a request comes from the Premier first. Alberta will continue to suffer until they start holding her accountable.

[Adrienne in Alberta @albertaadrienne]

Reminder: Premier Smith is actively 1. fighting climate change action, the feds, renewable energy industry & clean energy transition, 2. doubling down on fossil fuels, 3. reducing our provincial wildfire prevention & fighting capacity. Spare me the fake tears. #ABWildfire #Ableg

Alberta has a $4,000,000,000 surplus.

This COULD have funded:

👨‍🚒 72,343 Wildfire Crew Members

🚁 133 Firehawk Helicopters

✈️ 108 Water Bombers

🗳️ 70 Provincial Elections

Priorities Matter.
Danielle “Sky Box” Smith chose optics instead of Jasper.

[Doug Aoki @Nantanreikan]

"Right now is not the time to politicize Jasper or talk about climate change" has a real "after a mass school shooting is not the time to talk about gun control" vibe.

[Surveyor Brett @BLuchanski]

🤷‍♂️ Who could have ever seen this coming? #abfire

[Scott @Scott_755]

Alberta is on fire.

But hey, we have a budget surplus.

Albertans are dying without cancer treatment.

But hey, we have a budget surplus.

Classroom are crowded, and teachers are exhausted.

But hey, we have a budget surplus.

This is winning in #Alberta.

Crocodile tears won't rebuild Jasper

UCP cuts to wildfire funding won't restore people's homes

Blaming arsonists, the Feds, or Trudeau is a shameless & inaccurate distraction

This is a dark day for everyone in Alberta.

I expected better from Smith today.
I was wrong

[Gil McGowan @gilmcgowan]

I’m sick of people trying to gaslight everyone by telling them “we’ve always had fires in Alberta.” Of course, we’ve always had fires. But the last few years are off the charts. I grew up here. The average used to be 12 HOURS of smoke cover in a summer. Now it’s days and weeks.

[Adam Piercey @adam_piercey]

Fort McMurray was too high a price to pay. In dollars, $9B.

Jasper, a literal national treasure, is a rich history that we can not replace - but we may yet find out the price to try.

Enough is enough.

Stop voting for governments that aren’t taking serious action on climate.

[Lindsay Warner @Lindsay_Warner]

Brace yourself. This is a tough image to see of Jasper- Maligne Lodge. Same eyewitness says PetroCan/ Brightspot were hit. This was over half hour ago.
(Please note, I did not take this photo and was personally sent it under the guise the photo capturer wants anonymity)

[Sisu van Hellberta @sisuvanhell]

If we lose Jasper this government needs to be blamed the way cons in this province have tried so hard to blame Notley and Trudeau for every fire we've had. The UCP cut firefighting budgets. They need to wear this forever. #ableg
