If Donald Trump were any dumber, he'd be Danielle Smith.

"There's a time for #ElbowsUp and that time was clearly while there was an election I wanted to win."

It's worth mentioning that "Mark" and "Carney" are both terms for people involved in carnival chance games/swindles

Alberta government to release report into health contract scandal in 'a few days' EDMONTON - Alberta's government says it received Wednesday the final report from the investigation into allegations of corruption over health contracts, but it won't be immediately released.

Smithโ€™s government will spring the Wyant report on us within days, after they review it.

"Why does the government need to review something that the public paid for and deserves to have answers for?" NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi asked today. www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/health/alber...

Politics often depends on the richest in society.

That's why I'm SO proud of our campaign. We're funded small dollar donors. We've raised almost 6x more in donations under $200 than the next five candidates in my race COMBINED.

We're by and for the people โ€” NOT corporations and billionaires.
