Your dad was chosen by a few thousand people at a leadership convention, Ben.

He also didn’t have a seat in Parliament.

[Courtney Theriault @cspotweet]

A friendly reminder.

Yes, Carney will be Prime Minister without a seat as the Liberal party members alone elected him, just as Danielle Smith became Premier without a seat as the UCP members alone elected her. It's how our system has always worked, it's not new.

[Mel Y @tweedpunk]

@brrittanyt Not just you. We got this.

[Shaye Ganam @ShayeGanam]

Or in other words… the ability to deny and overturn the will of the people who voted for people and things in elections. This is anti-democratic BS.

As Alberta heads into a record drought in southern Alberta, how much water does Northback want to drill Grassy Mountain?

1,500,000 litres

(1,500 M3 is the nice way of saying that...)

Last night, Danielle Smith announced an austerity budget

In 12-months she gave away ~$1,000,000,000 to billionaires, O&G CEO’s & Turkish pharmaceuticals

To pay for this, Albertans get CUTS to health care, education and ZERO promised tax breaks

Who does Smith represent?

[Katy E 🇨🇦🇺🇦 @MargTokar]

Smoke and Mirrors

Smith claims that Norway is now self sustainable on the interest of its “Heritage Fund”…accumulated from O&G taxes.

Yes…it is

SHE NEGLECTS TO TELL YOU THAT NORWAY TAXES O&G…wait for it…

78%

Yes…78%

Let’s do THAT, @Alberta_UCP

[Mel Y @tweedpunk]

Thanks. This provides very clear information. It answered questions I didn’t even know I had.
Peace and health and love to all.

[Rachel Notley @RachelNotley]

Let’s talk about the facts.

Not conspiracies, not false myths spread on social media – facts.

Danielle Smith’s policy targeting trans and gender-diverse youth is an attack on a vulnerable group of youth and on thousands of Albertans. It is a massive overstep into private health care decisions. And it is an attack on the fundamental education rights of kids in our province.

But don’t take it from me: listen to the experts and allies in our video. Listen to the people with real, lived experiences.

Share this video and information with your friends and help combat the misinformation being spread by the Alberta government.

Sign our petition and tell Danielle Smith to stop pursuing these proposed changes.

Tell her that Albertans believe all human rights must be protected.

@JoshKunnath @mcleod I agree. Even on day 1 students arrive with reading skills, logic and background that would not equal a mark of zero. Just because you did not measure it, in fact ESPECIALLY since you did not measure it, you cannot provide an evaluation (% or otherwise).

[Dennis Arneson @DennisArneson86]

@JasonPYYC @hardpassonUCP The largest government cabinet in Alberta's history and @ABDanielleSmith is talking about success in reducing red tape? Something's not adding up....much like that supposed "surplus" we apparently have.

[Mel Y @tweedpunk]

@cspotweet So, you have a 15 minute city. And other municipalities are following suit. That is good urban planning.
Teach them. 15 minute city means community. Parks and food nearly for all. Folks know each other. Safety.

[Richard Knack @RichardKnack]

Great news seniors receiving CPP in Canada & Alberta.
It’s the highest performing national pension fund on earth.
We sure would never want to lose it.
Great news for younger people you have something to look forward to.

[Alberta Medical Association (AMA) @Albertadoctors]

91% of family and rural doctors worry about the finances of their small-business clinics. 20% think they cannot survive six months under current conditions. 61% say they are considering leaving the Alberta health care system through early retirement or relocation. 4/5

In case you needed an indication for how much respect the #UCP have for the disabled community, this photo is apparently from Foothill Hospital.

Hey Alberta...

Can we talk about this for a sec?

Cause, we're setting ourselves up for unbelievable catastrophe...

And yeah, this is a thread you'll want to full read.

BREAKING NEWS!

Video has been uncovered of then Speaker Andrew Scheer doing a tribute to retiring Minister of Foreign Affairs (John Baird) - a member of his own party - while wearing the Speaker’s robes.

Scheer is demanding Greg Fergus resign for doing the same thing. #cdnpoli

@nursekelsey For me and my mum, definitely the strain. October boosters received. Covid and flu.

[Gil McGowan @gilmcgowan]

Premier Danielle Smith has repeatedly said that we need to reduce emissions, not production. But when the federal government introduces a cap on pollution that requires the O&G industry to reduce emissions while allowing it to increase production, Smith goes ballistic. #hypocrisy
