haven’t seen America this thoroughly embarrassed on the world stage since we lost that war we started with Iran like 3 weeks ago

I understand its a business but @drtwofive was a big part of 2 Stanley Cup Finals. He was a great @EdmontonOilers teamate often the first to defend or protect them. A core member of the leadership group who gave back to the community. All the best to him, Mikayla and the boys.

@GenePrincipe @SanJoseSharks @drtwofive Wish him well in San Jose. He was a great citizen here in Edmonton. Hope he crushes it there and helps San Jose take another step.

Looks like the fun police have struck again in Alberta, this time targeting people trying to enjoy a pint.

This last-minute hike before Stampede will raise the minimum price of a beer from $3.20 to $5, a 60% increase. The provincial government will negatively affect thousands of workers and create additional problems for bars and restaurants already facing higher costs.

Many major provinces successfully support thriving brewing and hospitality industries without raising minimum drink prices by this much. Alberta’s brewing industry is one of our signature success stories. It supports local jobs, attracts visitors, and gives communities something to be proud of.

The Premier and AGLC should reconsider these changes and work with operators to find a solution that balances responsible service with the economic and cultural benefits these businesses bring to our province.

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

Danielle Smith needs to resign as Premier of Alberta. She is the single most corrupt, controversial, destructive person to ever occupy the office of Premier in our great province.

Think I'm exaggerating?

- Artur Pawlowski ethics breach: in March 2023, Danielle Smith improperly pressured the Justice Minister to drop all charges against the pastor with regards to the Coutts blockade
- CorruptCare: Smith tried to restructure AHS by awarding massive publicly funded contracts to private corporations, including MHCare. The former CEO of AHS, Athana Mentzelopoulos claims to have been wrongfully fired because she was investigating allegations of wrongdoing.
- Sweeping Attacks on Trans Youth: Bills 26, 27, and 29 ban transgender surgeries and hormonal therapies for youths under 16, force parental consent for school pronoun changes, and ban trans women from competing in female sports leagues. Danielle Smith used the Notwithstanding Clause, a constitutional clause designed to avoid national unity crises during times of emergency, to silence all debate and court challenges on these unconstitutional bills.
- Third Party Book Bans: Smith mandated that all third-party learning materials involving sex ed, orientation, or gender identity require Ministry of Education pre-approval.
- Her list of controversial comments and public acts includes:
- Claims that the unvaxxed were "the most discriminated against group of people in history";
- Comparing those who followed COVID policies were "followers of Hitler";
- gave credence to the chemtrail conspiracists;
- used victims of severe crimes as props for her own political claims.
- She has passed legislation which allows the government of Alberta to simply ignore laws she deems "harmful to Alberta's interests."
- She has tried to pull Alberta out of the CPP, with no plan to replace it aside from an independent APP.
- She has dismantled AHS in an effort to privatize Alberta's universal healthcare system.
- She wasted $70 million dollars on Turkish pain medication, most of which either was deemed unsafe for public consumption or simply never arrived.
- She has been seen many times at public events in the US hosted by MAGA or MAGA-aligned far-right activists and figures, many of whom, including Trump, have advocated for annexing Canada into the US by force.

These are just the most extreme examples of Danielle Smith's unfitness to occupy the office of the Premier of Alberta. She has done much damage to the reputation and the future of our province and our people. She will go down in history as the most corrupt, most destructive premier we have ever endured.

WTAF???

The Alberta Prosperity Project (APP) actually released a “fully costed” independence plan!

I read all 43 pages so you don’t have to**

It is one of the most dishonest, disastrous, and delusional documents in Canadian political history.

Let’s jump in…. 🧵

I understand that my personal information, including my home address, was shared publicly on a screen at a recent Alberta separatist event. It was also recorded on video, and is now circulating.

This was apparently part of the outrageous data leak of Albertans’ private information, wherein Elections Alberta shared its entire detailed provincial voter database with the “Republican Party of Alberta,” which in turn shared it with some separatist group called the “Centurion Project,” whose leadership then shared my personal information publicly.

Over the past few years I have received no shortage of threats from people broadly associated with the separatist / antivax / far right movement in Alberta. So it is disturbing that my personal information is now broadly available, particularly in those circles.

While I have been targeted specifically, the broader data breach may also effect vulnerable Albertans, including victims of domestic violence, journalists, activists, judges, and other public servants for years to come.

I will retain legal counsel to seek advice on recourse regarding this outrageous and potentially dangerous violation of my personal privacy.

A friendly reminder Danielle Smith’s chief policy maker is Rob Anderson

Rob’s family OWNS private / charter schools called “Footprints for Learning” in Airdrie!

Rob’s mom and sister profit SUBSTANTIALLY from this

This is why this is happening
