When I was talking with makowski he said he had no idea that 1 in 5 kids live in poverty in the province. The minister of social services!! Had!! No!! Idea!!
@rebeccakschulz I thought we had to be afraid that energy operators were going to be hand cuffed by Justin. I can’t keep the fear I’m supposed to feel straight - please help.
More cis teens in Canada get breast implants than trans teens get top surgery, which is also gender affirming surgery. No one cares about that. This isn't about bodily autonomy or innocence this is about preserving hetero and cis normative bodies as the only good body.
@YourAlberta This doesn’t allow me to have a say. It forces me to select from the foregone conclusion. Remember when you promised not to touch our pensions ?!
SECRET CANADA: Think about all that's happening in Alberta right now. Plans to withdraw from the CPP. The Calgary daycare E. coli crisis. Etc. Now consider: the province is actively trying to make it harder to obtain government records. https://t.co/bZorsZlDl6
@ABDanielleSmith It’s the admin fees and services charges allowed in this deregulated system that are bankrupting us today. Clean your own house first please.
Heartbreaking call from a good friend whose son took his own life.
He said to me “We stopped talking… we need to keep talking.”
Talk to your kids.
Incessantly.
Life is shit for everyone at various times.
Be the sound of hope and assurance that things do get better.
If you’re wondering why some victims go by Jane Doe, see the vitriolic hate directed at me by this guy who has me confused with the brave victims of theMasterson rape trial.
@GregMcLeanYYC@JyotiGondek This is an lukewarm pointless name drop to a pal on council without raising any ideas to address the very real lack of affordable housing in Calgary Centre. Spend some time outside your bubble and see the families living in their cars in our neighbourhoods.
Apparently, nobody told Danielle Smith about the size of an oil sands mine (or the estimated reclamation liability associated with them). Which would you rather your children and grandchildren be responsible for decommissioning: an oil sands mine or a wind farm?
This is the UCP's new line on their renewables moratorium.
Since they're so worried about "our kids and our grandchildren", why don't they pause all new oil and gas approvals until they address the tens/hundreds of billions in outstanding oil and gas environmental liabilities?
@maxfawcett@rebeccakschulz@s_guilbeault Yet somehow other provinces have already achieved it. You realize that corporations are in Alberta doing so already. Help those entities do more, maybe some hydro carbon corporation friends will see a reason to do more renewable work as a result. Keep all the cronies happy
I say this again and again, we are underestimating how fast capital is moving and WHERE it is going. We need to send stable signals and have stable policies to attract billions of dollars into Alberta.
The answer will never be a moratorium on renewable energy #ableg#yyc
Alberta's environment minister will head to Germany tomorrow to promote the province's emissions reduction technologies including (🚨irony alert!) the inauguration of Germany’s first Eavor-Loop project. Which is geothermal energy. Which the gvt has paused. #ableg#cdnpoli

We could have bought dynalife for $50 million
Instead the UCP spent $35 million to cancel the already started super lab, and another who knows how many millions to eventually buy dynalife back anyway.
@ABDanielleSmith Stamp this on the inside of your wrist. Government is the most effective method of delivering services to its citizens. Stop the privatized gifts to corporations that fail and cost us (the taxpayer) more money.
Wow. I’d love to know how much this misadventure has cost the taxpayer. What were the contract break fees on the super lab? How much was Dynalife being paid under the sole-source (was it?) contract? What are the new break fees? Who are DynaLyfe’s lobbyists and their payment?
@ABDanielleSmith Thanks for wasting time and money on another pointless fight. In the meantime you’ll scare away new investment and cause flight for existing organizations
