Rural Shepherd

Ethical Albertan with integrity. Watching over the provincial political landscape.

[Carrie Tait @CarrieTait]

Hi, yes, g'morning. This is awkward.

But targeting a reporter - hi! - with
surreptitiously obtained photos and details of her tooling around town is an attack on the public's right to know.

You lied. Again. You specifically said you would not be doing this.

Let's talk HC "refocusing" and Premier's latest announcement 🧵 :
- no one is able to articulate the actual plan. NO ONE
- the Premier is being advised in backrooms on health, she comes out and makes an announcement... and then the legions of consultants and bureacrats scramble

[Lori Sigurdson @LoriSigurdson]

Even with biased survey questions and the UCP pouring $7.5M of public money into ads to convince Albertans to hand over their retirement savings, 63% of respondents opposed leaving CPP.

The UCP’s incompetent response to the measles outbreak means more & more Albertans are paying the price. Four health ministers & still no clear plan. Good news: there's a safe, effective measles vaccine. Call 811 to check your immunization status & get an MMR booster if needed.

[Zulkifl Mujahid @MujahidZulkifl]

UCP tried to bury the truth.
📊 63% of Albertans said NO to leaving the CPP.
Danielle Smith ignored you.
This is deceit, not leadership.

@TheBreakdownAB @pattilovestrav1 Look.

I worked as a librarian in a public school in north east Edmonton.

My library NEVER, EVER, had pornography material in my library.

EVER.

She’s lying 🤥.

[Sharif Haji @SharifHajiMLA]

The UCP spent your tax dollars surveying Albertans on quitting the CPP for an APP, then hid the results for 21 months.

Finally the numbers are out: 63% OPPOSE the APP. Only 10% support.

This is people’s retirement plan when they cannot work.

Why they didn’t want to share?

[Hon. Thomas A. Lukaszuk @LukaszukAB]

.@AbDanielleSmith Tells the Mayor that she is stuck with lease agreements signed by the previous government and, if coal mines are not built, we’ll get sued for $14 billion.

Danielle, it was UCP government and many of your current ministers that signed these leases.

Remember when @ABDanielleSmith said the province "will not de-list any medical services... now covered by Alberta Health Insurance. No exception"?

I do.

This should be the nail in the coffin for @ABDanielleSmith’s government in Alberta

ALBERTA : We must demand a PUBLIC INQUIRY and Police Investigation with Forensic Audit of every Ministry within the UCP government.
Alberta deserves to know Who, Why & How much $$$$ is involved with this alleged scandal.
We must see if there is cover-up or wrong doing ?

[Katy E 🇨🇦🇺🇦 @MargTokar]

[corblund @CorbLund]

Southern Alberta, please come out today to Ft McLeod if you're concerned about foreign coal companies affecting our water. Govt is hell bent on pushing the mines thru even though multiple polls say 70% of us don't want them. Come respectfully tell Premier & Ministers how you feel

[Shannon Phillips 🇨🇦 @SPhillipsAB]

Southern Alberta does not want coal mines.

[Gil McGowan @gilmcgowan]

Alberta teachers vote 95% in favour of strike action. Like so many other Albertans, they’ve had enough. They’re standing up for themselves … but they’re also taking a stand for our kids. We simply can’t allow the UCP to continue gutting public education. https://t.co/Tec9GfL2YF

[Carrie Tait @CarrieTait]

NEW: Alberta Health Services' former CEO wants a judge to rule on her lawsuit, alleging govt improperly fired her, without going to trial.

New court filings allege the Health Minister tried - and failed - to convince the AHS board to fire the CEO.

"About 500 people, dressed in cowboy hats, belt buckles, and jeans, packed a community hall in Fort Macleod, Alta., for an event marked by heckling, competing applause and placards"

Alberta premier faces raucous, angry town hall on province's coal policy

[corblund @CorbLund]

Wed, June 11, Ft McLeod Hall, 301 25 St, 5pm
