Forgive my ignorance but I remain confused why our supposed Environment minister is up discussing capital, infrastructure and heightened development with fewer regulations. Should that not be the job of an energy minister?

EZMSA: The Alberta Government is Failing to Protect the Public From Measles Podcast Episode Β· The Courtney Theriault Show Β· 2025-04-09 Β· 7m

Alberta had 6 measles cases between 2019-2024.

It's up to 43 and counting in 2025.

Should the government be doing more to address the outbreak?

Chatted with @EZMSA2 about what needs to happen to keep this from spiraling

I’m sure a lot of people missed this over the weekend because the Liberals did a good job of giving it no air. There is currently a two horse race for Calgary Confederation and Keira is the only candidate who has done the work to earn the trust of voters. #elbowsup πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

It’s my privilege to stand with education workers. Hundreds of millions of dollars in bloated private surgical contracts and yet the UCP can’t scrape together more than a few cents for support workers who haven’t seen a raise in a decade. Enough is enough.

On a virtual townhall with 500+ education support staff & parents, who are sharing devastating stories about the impact of the UCP’s underfunding of education and the impact of the strikes on children with disabilities.

β€œI’m done being insulted by this government. We need to fight hard.”

The incoming President of the United States is saying he will use economic force to conquer our country.

Expel their ambassador. Cut off any conversation about tariffs. Be prepared to have the tariffs applied. We put up with this now, in one sense or another we lose our country.

ANALYSIS | New leaders often toughen ethics, transparency rules. Danielle Smith and UCP take different approach | CBC News The UCP has created a more generous gift policy and limited freedom of information access. On the horizon: relaxed rules for political aides.

Don’t know if I’ve ever seen a Canadian government steadily relax and ease accountability/transparency laws like Danielle Smith and UCP have. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Singh is holding a press conference, but simply repeats that Trudeau has to resign and "all options are on the table" but no details. God he is bad at politics.

In 2015 I sponsored amendments to the human right act to add gender identity and gender expression.

Today I stood in opposition while the UCP passed all 3 of their anti-trans bills, rolling back those rights.

It is a sad moment in history we just witnessed.

The UCP’s proposed change from opt-out to opt-in will add barriers between kids and important sexual health education.

Our kids have a right to access this critical information.

It was a real missed opportunity to not have a cabinet minister wear a big funny hat at the recent auto insurance cap press conference.

I’m sure Danielle Smith will keep up the fierce opposition of National governments who endanger our energy industry …

Stating the obvious here but if this report cleared Gaetz’s name, they’d eagerly release it in the name of β€œtransparency”

The cone of silence that has been lowered over the government in the week since the AIMCo takeover is not exactly the most confidence inspiring move. 😐
