Itโ€™ll cost a lot to set up a sovereign Alberta because there are costs for all that nothing Albertans get from the federal government.

Somehow vast swaths of Albertans will believe weโ€™re better off because the UCP protects us from the crazy left NDP.
However UCP has given us healthcare & education erosion.
Costly unnecessary municipal election reforms.
Charter rights removed.
Enabling separatists.

Someone make sense of it for me.

I anticipate the #UCP budget too be worse than the last #NDP budget from 2015 with more borrowing. Major differences - weโ€™ve lost six years of school & hospital building & weโ€™ve had bad ideological UCP waste.

This seems like a lot of Orders in Council to issue the night before a big budget especially with $40B borrowing & guardianship changes that have no legislative review.

Yet the UCP plans on borrowing $40B. The utter incompetence grows.

The UCP had a busy day signing Orders in council including approval of the ability to borrow an insane $40B. But also changes to the guardianship law (12 page revision) & borrowing up to $250,000 for petroleum marketing.

Approval for $40 billion in borrowing; yes you read that right 40 BILLION.
New Order in Council signed today.

A social media post by Jesse Peters II titled When Alberta becomes independent, which reads: We should round up all of the liberals and gays and either deport them or send them into little camps where they can work until they learn to accept freedom of speech and all of our freedom and not be liberal sissies anymore. And if that doesn't work we can euthanize them too!

Great idea!

This is what happens when direct democracy is allowed free rein and people are permitted to speak freely and openly about politics.

Glad to be helping Albertans find their voices!

ANALYSIS | Danielle Smith says court 'skewed' to Liberal donors, but UCP picks have political ties just as often | CBC News CBC analysis suggests about one-fifth of federally named judges match with Liberal donor lists. About as many judges picked by the province likely gave to UCP.

When Danielle Smith claimed 80% of federally picked judges had donated to Liberals, that was way higher than any figure I'd researched.
I dug into it. Could confidently write here:
"It is not true. The single media source Smith got that fact from has since corrected it."

Danielle strikes again.

"It is not true. The single media source Smith got that fact from has since corrected it.

The offices of Amery and Smith declined to answer CBC Newsโ€™ questions about the political connections of Albertaโ€™s own appointees."

Naheed Nenshi needs to step up โ€” or step down The former mayor of Calgary was supposed to bring the Alberta NDP back to political power. Instead, they're further away from it than they've been in a decade.

Nenshi, you were a great mayor. You have good ideas for the province, but... I am worried your health is keeping you from doing your job. Biden had good ideas too, but his health kept him from doing his job.

Whether CPC or UCP they keep hammering a narrative until it starts to stick even if there is no basis for it.

Anytime the UCP are questioned where facts contradict their statements their response is essentially:
โ€œWhat you have to understand is that this is irrelevant because it doesn't fit my narrative.โ€

No, but actually.

Theyโ€™ll drag their feet on what has strong political support but move ahead on a provincial police force, immigration laws, MAID restrictions despite no mandate.

Adds premier goes toe to toe with any prime minister to defend AB.

They continue to chase provincial police & pension despite strong opposition.
They continue to support fringe separatists.
