Premier Danielle Smith visited the University of Alberta Faculty of Law today. 👀
Lawyers and future lawyers know that Bill 26 and the UCP’s anti-trans bills are regressive, unconstitutional, and just plain wrong. And they had a message for her today. 👏

@cafreeland You must have been in an untenable situation to have resigned. To have specifically called out the US really highlights the seriousness of this issue. It is the canary in the coal mine. I hope you run for PM one day.
@RBReich especially for the reproductive rights of women who in specific states who are turned away from hospitals when in pregnancy distress and need an abortion - and told to go wait in the parking lot until it gets worse. Barbarism.
Wildrose Danielle Smith would never stand for "this kind of personal pampering and self service" from a Premier.
But if she's the Premier, then "this kind of entitlement" is fine?
Her hypocrisy is never-ending.

The damage to Jasper is not simply a local, regional or provincial disaster, it is a disaster for our nation.
And yet, as the planet burns Conservative politicians across Canada continue to play stupid games while leaving at risk regions without protection.

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.

Danielle Smith, who only moments earlier was "overcome" with emotion at the tragedy unfolding in Jasper was asked about the delay in emergency payments...
Her response?
In effect, "They can wait a bit, that's what private insurance is for."
Because feelings.

Jasper and Jasper National Park are treasures for the world … and they’re a special haven for those of us lucky enough to live close by. What’s happening tonight breaks my heart. Prayers for those displaced by the fire and heartfelt thanks to those fighting it. #JasperFire
All of our thoughts are with our fellow Albertans and visitors evacuated from Jasper National Park. At times like this, I am deeply grateful that we live in a place where first responders and public servants are always there to protect us. Thank you for everything.
And for those evacuated and directly affected by the fires, please know your community is there to support you no matter what. Please keep up with official channels and follow all directions. Let’s keep everyone safe and get folks home as soon as possible.
