I think it's important for everyone in AB to remember that the UCP didn't have to use the NWC in their legislation. They also could have (and I'd argue should have) used binding arbitration rather than imposing a contract.

Everyone should be asking themselves why

[The Breakdown @TheBreakdownAB]

As much as Smith tried today to spin the children’s medication debacle as being the result of former premiers or leadership races or byelections…

It was all her idea.

How do we know?

She said so.

Utter contempt and disrespect from Bruce McAllister.

Cutting off the kid's mic and limiting his freedom of expression is one thing, but saying he should be spanked is a fireable offense from a supposedly neutral moderator. Bruce needs to be removed immediately.

[Hon. Thomas A. Lukaszuk @LukaszukAB]

How do you like Danielle Smith’s new $250,000 red carpet?

Yes, you read it correctly, her new office rug cost Alberta taxpayers $250,000.

Now, let’s talk about fiscal conservatism and entitlement.

Mind-boggling that some Canadians actually think this guy cares about them. 🤨 #cdnpoli

"Poilievre has threatened to pull federal funding from universities over their alleged ideological slant"

You can’t claim to support freedom of thought and speech while punishing ideas you don’t like by defunding universities.

These are crazy times 1/

[Lucy 🇨🇦 @TheBlueGem3]

Poilievre saying he would “override the charter” was probably something he shouldn’t have said out loud.

[Dr. Hedy Fry @HedyFry]

Funny how ppl comment on economic matters with no historical context! PM Chrétien cleaned up Mulroney’s $ 43 billion deficit in 3 yrs..PM Martin left a $13 billion surplus for Harper which he blew in his first year and left a $55 billion deficit in 2015. Those are the facts.

[J Hunter🍁 @MrJoKeR604]

The last 2 times Canada had conservative Prime Ministers they sold off Crown corporations like there was no tomorrow, largely to foreign investors.

So no, I don't trust a conservative government to put "Canada First".

[Rachel Gilmore @atRachelGilmore]

Wow, folks...I am so incredibly grateful (and a lil overwhelmed, in a good way!).

It's heartening to see how many care about an issue that is SO much bigger than any one journalist.

It's a trend, and we have to stop it. You all give me hope we might be able to do that. ❤️

He hasn’t managed to get his sign up in 20 years — what makes you think he’s going to build more homes?

When he was housing minister, he built 6 houses. None of them were in Carleton.

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

Let's be clear, Danielle Smith is more than happy to placate Trump during the worst economic crisis facing our country than she is willing to work with Canadians.

It's never country before politics for her.

This week, she'll make time for Ben Shapiro by flying to Florida to speak to the extremist far right.  She wouldn't get on a plane to see Canada's premiers in person on Friday. 

Now she casually floats a referendum on separatism, as if any regular Albertan is calling for that.

Calling for a pause on tariffs to politically benefit one party or another isn't the right approach. But standing firm for Canada is.

[Avice 🇨🇦 @identitykrysis]

So, what Smith is displaying here is collusion with a hostile nation that has openly threatened to annex Canada.

JUST IN CASE ANYONE ISN'T CLEAR ON THAT.

[Heather 🌿 @CedarAndHoney]

Canada- 🚨
Danielle Smith and her Breitbart interview just LOST Poilieve the election.

She confirms amongst her MAGA friends that Pierre is “Very much in synch with everything the Trump administration is doing.”

Canadians agree.
Poilieve is done. And so is she.

Today, we learned the UCP government fired the entire AHS Board on the same day they were set to receive a report on shady contracts. Now, new allegations point to political interference, corruption, and kickbacks at the highest levels.

Massive drop in the Alberta health care scandal from the Globe-

Alberta government was told by experts importing the medicine was risky and could cause significant financial loss.

They did it anyways.

[Liberal Party @liberal_party]

Why is Pierre Poilievre trying to hide?

[Rachel Gilmore @atRachelGilmore]

Yet people on the right scream the loudest about being silenced…

I’m begging people to think about why we have so many massive right-wing accounts and what it tells you about the money behind, institutional support for and algorithmic appeasement of those views.
