Happy Canada Day, y'all!!! 🇨🇦
I have such pride in this country that I love so much!
Hope everyone has a great and fun filled day.
I'll be hitting the farmers market later for local goodies and stopping by the petting zoo because, well, PETTING ZOO.
Much love!

Hey @ABDanielleSmith@neudorf_ab Why are you paying a company thats been accused of human rights violations, fraud and abusing children, 51 million dollars to oversee the most vulnerable Albertans???
NEW: A class action lawsuit has been initiated against the Alberta government, the Centurion Project, @david_parker and the Republican Party of Alberta for facilitating the largest voter data breach in Canadian history.

An independent review revealed that Danielle Smith "hindered firefighting efforts" during the devastating July 2024 Jasper wildfire. The report states that provincial officials disrupted local command lines by aggressively attempting to take control and flooding fire leaders with political inquiries during an active blaze.
What the hell was she thinking?😡
Danielle Smith is incompetent.

Property tax bills are due today. Imagine if Ottawa forced Alberta to collect a big federal tax hike on provincial letterhead. That's how municipalities are treated with the Province's 57% property tax increase over four years. It's time to keep property taxes local, with clear accountability and transparency.
Imagine if Justin Trudeau ordered Danielle Smith to collect a massive federal tax increase through Alberta's tax bill. She'd be furious.
That’s exactly what’s happening today to Alberta’s cities, with today’s deadline to pay your property tax bill. Not many of you may know, but now upwards of half of your property taxes go to the provincial government, and not the town, city, or municipality you live in.
The biggest increase on your property tax bill didn't come from City Hall. It came from the Provincial government.
The Province imposed a 21 percent increase on your property tax bill, the largest property tax increase in Calgary's history. Over the past four years, it has increased the education property tax by 57 percent.
By comparison, our Council held the municipal property tax increase to just 1.8 percent. That funds police, firefighters, roads, transit, parks, snow clearing, recreation centres, and the infrastructure that keeps Calgary moving.
Because of the Province's education property tax equalization formula, Calgary homeowners are paying about twice the increase faced by Edmonton homeowners.
Don't take my word for it. Here's how the Premier herself describes where a large share of your property tax goes.
"If we're going to rail against equalization at the federal level, then we can't keep doing the same thing to our municipalities..."
The Premier is right.
If we're going to oppose equalization at the federal level, we shouldn't be doing the same thing to Alberta's municipalities.
Property taxes are local taxes. They should stay local.
The Province should fund provincial priorities through its other revenue sources, and municipalities should collect property taxes for local services.
Thank you for supporting the City services that keep Calgary safe, moving, and growing.
One year after President Trump signed the largest health care cut in U.S. history into law, RFK Jr’s health department is doubling down.
His new rule will require cancer patients and other patients suffering from chronic debilitating diseases to do work searches and document that their disease impairs their ability to work or face losing lifesaving health care coverage through Medicaid. It’s inhumane. 48 patient groups agree.
Congress must block this grotesque rule before it takes effect on January 1st.

Meanwhile, Public HC & ED are being demolished.
Think about the impact if these groups joined forces & WE ALL SUPPORTED EACH OTHER.

@ABDanielleSmith now that this has been resolved, can we talk about the corrupt care scandal, the gerrymandering, your disrespect towards Indigenous Peoples, your referendum nepotisms, your healthcare guarantees campaigned on, etc?
Grocery prices are spiralling out of control, putting real pressure on families across the province. We’ve got a REAL plan to bring down prices and increase fairness at the checkout:
+ Create an independent grocery watchdog to track food prices, review complaints, and report publicly to improve transparency.
+ End anti-competition grocery covenants that limit where new grocery stores and small food shops can open, increasing choice and competition.
+ Introduce shrinkflation laws that require clear labels when products shrink in size but stay the same price.

The Welsh Parliament passed a historic law making it a criminal offense for candidates to make false or misleading statements of fact to help an election campaign.
We need this here. The only politician who would vote against it, likely lied in their own campaign.
