Even though the health care system is in crisis, the UCP shut down the Legislature early because they didn't want to talk about people dying in Alberta's emergency rooms.

We need solutions, not a government that shuts down debate.

Albertans really need to pay attention to Brexit
Why it happened and the outcome

It happened because David Cameron was trying to hold onto his job due of Brexit forces within his own party - he failed

The outcome - it has destroyed the British economy and their stand with the EU

Why is Alberta broke?
The answer is actually bragged about in the provincial budget, every year.
Alberta could eliminate its debt, invest in services, save billions, and still have the lowest taxes in πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦.
Instead, immigrants are blamed.

Alberta Governments have consciously chosen to underfund healthcare, educations, social services & municipalities (urban & rural).
Instead they brag that we have artificially low tax rates, use those to encourage people to move here & then blame them when they actually arrive.

In 2024, Premier Smith was demanding Trudeau allow 20,000+ additional immigrants to Alberta.

But now with a huge budget deficit, she's scapegoating the immigrants she wanted to come to Alberta.

The reaction of the media to Trump's hospital ship fart is testimony to bankruptcy. Not every vomit should be reported and analyzed. It's enough to say, "Trump claims to send hospital ship to save Greenlanders in dire medical situation. No ship is being sent, and Greenlanders' health is fine."
