2/2 directing me to start a letter writing campaign to the ombudsman, other mla’s and anyone else I could think of to try to change the β€˜policy’. Evidently, this federal stipend meant to help with increased cost of living has been lumped into other federal income such as CPP.

Thank you for your excellent story on this. I wrote to minister Nixon on behalf of a family member and pointed out that he takes home over $10k a month. I asked if he could live on $1900? He didn’t answer that, instead I received a call from Alberta Supports 1/2

2/2 There is a comment area at the end, but it’s doubtful that it will count for anything. For me it’s another example and of how corrupt this UCP government is. Imagine the cost for this BS. $$ that could be spent on things that matter to Albertans. Everyday I’m more pissed off.

Just looked at the β€˜Alberta Next’ surveys. You’re required to watch a video then answer the questions. The videos blame Ottawa for everything, highlight all the β€˜wonderful’ albeit hypothetical positives, then breeze over any risk. The questions can only be answered one way-in favour of the ideas.1/2

Canadians live, on average, longer than Americans. Men 5.5 yrs., women 4.2 yrs. (ChatGPT)

This, in large part, is thanks to our universal free healthcare that is preventative as well as performative.

Tommy Douglas is widely regarded as the "Father of Canadian Medicare"

Danielle Smith and the UCP nurture the β€œOttawa hates oil” narrative to divert attention from their corruption and capture.

We must demand better from Alberta's political class.

No Scott, it is you (and Smith) that need to reset your relationships with the Federal Government (and stop referring to it as Ottawa).

It does rankle that a guy being given EVERY consideration after losing and not resigning, is using one of those considerations to undercut the government giving him those considerations. Worse, as one knows were the situation reversed he'd never extend any consideration. He's still arrogant as hell

Everyone could please submit a complaint to the CBC Ombudsman about CBC allowing Poilievre to continue his rage and hate campaign and harangue Liberal cabinet members for over 15 minutes after cabinet was sworn in yesterday.
I did.

Poilievre shouldn't be allowed to hold press conferences in H of C. He isn't an elected representative, the people have SPOKEN. Should he regain trust of voters, THEN he has the perk of speaking, until then outside. There is a consequence to LOSING, actually disrespectful to democracy. #cdnpoli
