The people I’d love to hear from today are the UCP members who had a million reasons to oppose the Sovereignty Act six months ago, and voted in favour of it today. Those people need to explain what appears to be naked hypocrisy and pure partisan politics.
This needs to be emphasized. The Sovereignty Act is not just about standing up to Ottawa for federal intrusions into provincial jurisdiction, it grants sweeping powers to cabinet. This is fundamentally undemocratic.
Does Danielle Smith saying that she's not a media person anymore somehow innoculate her from being held accountable for past beliefs or ideas she's espoused?
It's quite the theory on political immunization.
Thank you, @CFNUPresident and @CFNU team, for hosting this morning's breakfast.
Collaboration is key to solving the nurse shortage and improving our health system.
We have to make sure our MLAs work to tackle inflation, ban price gouging and tax excess profits. Email your MLA and demand they tackle the rising cost of living: https://t.co/KD52N1ejnr
@jkenney Jason,
The new Carbon Tax levy only adds $0.022/L.
You’re grossly misleading Albertans (again) on the actual costs, and the implications for families.
The REAL impact was you removing the caps which allowed Albertans to pay the highest energy bills in our history. Shameful.
@JasonOnTheDrums Open for Summer was in hindsight a disastrous policy that was overly optimistic and cherry picked data, Open for Spring is worse. All metrics remain high and it is a clear response to an illegal blockade and forthcoming leadership review.
People are being told to not look like the journalists or healthcare staff that they are due to safety concerns from people attending a protest for freedom.
Let that sink in.
Why doesn't the party that wants a bullshit referendum on everything ask the electorate what they think of their let it rip plan?
They won't listen to science and experts.
They won't listen to the vaccinated majority.
So whose government is this?
I (and many others) asked CMOH Dr. Hinshaw today about easing restrictions and cancelling the REP. She won't say what her advice to Premier Kenney is ("it's under cabinet confidence") and she won't say when changes will be made "it's the decision of elected officials".)
Basing public health decisions on appeasing a vocal minority who think it is okay to engage in an illegal blockade that hurts their neighbours makes bad policy. It also encourages them to throw another illegal tantrum the next time they want their way. #AbLeg
Paging @jkenney - one of your extremist MLAs is blocking the movement of people and goods between Canada and the United States while also blocking emergency vehicle access to the Village of Coutts. Could you ask him to go home please. #ableg#cdnpoli
When we think of today's events, let's ALL be reminded of how none of it would have been possible without the implicit & explicit support of COUNTLESS elected officials.
Remember this day, when you are holding your voter card.
THAT is how we ALL fight for the Canada we love.
I haven't seen the rows and rows of police lined up in riot gear with shields and gas like they roll out with on encampments for those without housing in parks or when folks speak out against systemic racism...
