Newsflash: it’s already happened - starting when the UCP removed the NDPs cap in utilities. And now the UCPs ban on renewable energy (the cheapest form of energy) will make the problem even worse.
Went out for a seven hour boat ride to the Athabasca River from Fort Chipewyan with Dene trapper/hunter/fisherman Jason Short. He’s been navigating this river system for nearly 20 years. He says what he sees on the water is not normal. The Alberta oilsands are just upstream from Fort Chip. Tailings have been dumped into this river recently & community members have been concerned about being poisoned through the water for years. This is what we saw today @ricochet_en@IndigiNewsMedia@TheRealNews
Autonomy and true partnerships are key in the treaty process, said Dr. Matthew Wildcat, an assistant professor of Native Studies and a member of Ermineskin Cree Nation: https://t.co/wS8PC3QaLY
On National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21, the AFN encourages all Canadians to learn more about First Nations contributions, cultures, and languages by participating in one of the many events. Join the conversation by using the hashtags #NIHM2023 and #NIPD2023.
I personally cannot endorse a government whose members and supporters mock and deride Indigenous people from one side of their mouth while claiming to be good partners from the other.

That’s leadership!

I'm glad politicians have low oversight. Imagine if the PM or Premier had tried to sway any legal decisions. Cough #UCP#DanielleSmith cough. Plus Canada is very guilty on the proceedings and other parties like the Catholic Church need more legal attention with their involvement
Here is my statement on Danielle Smith’s connection with Artur Pawlowski:
I’m writing today as someone seeking to become Premier of Alberta.
But I am also someone who simply and deeply loves this province.
And I am profoundly concerned about all we have seen today.

There cannot be an election in Alberta with this level of participation without a lot of votes from people under the age of 55. If Millennials, Gen Z & Gen X participate the way Boomers and their elders do, Danielle Smith can be defeated. Vote Vote Vote.
The UCP have done massive damage to healthcare. They have done nothing to fix it but hold fake press conferences with made up numbers.
You don’t have to take my word for it - 180 ER docs say exactly that. #AbLeg
DEBATE 2023. Danielle Smith keeps talking about "grainy videos" of her plans to force Albertans to pay for their doctor.
Actually, we have it in high definition.

"Johnson went on to compare a handful of transgender students in the school system to mixing a teaspoon of feces into a batch of baked goods." The hatred that some have towards the trans community is so strong.

As @UCPCaucus “pray for rain” let’s look at what @drloewen and his UCP MLA’s did to help:
1. The UCP DECIMATED funding for Alberta's wildfire prevention and response programs by $15,000,000, reducing the total budget for the province's wildfire management programs
