An important note…

Smith isn’t just overriding the federal Charter…

She’s also overriding the Alberta Human Rights Act AND the Alberta Bill of Rights she just rewrote.

Danielle Smith’s pipeline still doesn’t have a business case The biggest obstacle standing in the way of another pipeline to the West Coast isn't the tanker ban or federal climate policies. It's oil prices and the nature of the businesses that rely on them for ...

Mark Carney could remove the emissions cap, the tanker ban, and anything else Danielle Smith demands. Her proposed pipeline still wouldn't get built because the business case for actually filling it gets worse with each passing day.

AMA slams new immunization program amid confusion with report that province calls "misleading" The Alberta Medical Association (AMA) is pushing back against the provincial government's updated COVID-19 immunization program.

calgaryherald.com/news/clarify...

Our health care system is in trouble. The statement in this article by the health minister is false and a disgrace. The only seniors who get free Covid shots are those in care homes. AMA president is right and LeGrange is the one giving inaccurate information!

Alberta to pay $95M settlement to another coal company over policy change | CBC News Details of another settlement between the Government of Alberta and a coal company have been released. This time, the province has agreed to pay $95 million to Evolve Power.

$238M and counting for opening, then closing, then somewhat opening, the Rocky Mountains to new coal mining. That could have paid for free vaccines this fall. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calga...

Albertans are struggling to book COVID shots; doctors worry some might give up | CBC News Parents and doctors continue to push back against the Alberta government’s controversial COVID-19 vaccine rollout. Determining who is eligible for free vaccines has not been straightforward, and the b...

It's really hard not to see the UCP game-playing with COVID vaccines as anything but a deliberate attempt to sabotage effective mitigations, and bury just how much damage their mismanagement of COVID has done.

It doesn't help that senior Public Health & IPC leaders share a lot of the same COIs.

Alberta government plans to allow residents to privately pay for any diagnostic or screening service | CBC News Alberta is planning legislative changes that would let people pay out of pocket for diagnostic and preventive tests, such as MRIs, CT scans and full-body scans — without a doctor’s order.

I guarantee that if you move away from a SINGLE PAYER (being the AB Government) for these services you will end up with a 2 tiered system; like Ireland & the US.

The results are not good for the majority, only the well-off

An amazing rally for public education. 20,000+ Albertans with one united message for Danielle Smith:

Pay the teachers.
Fund the schools.
Remind your discriminatory policies.

It is time to put the PUBLIC back in public education.

A lot of people standing outside of McDougall Centre, a provincial government office and meeting space. They're holding signs and most people are dressed in red.

The AB teachers rally in Calgary today, at McDougall Centre

I tried to get pics up close but it was way too packed to get a good spot. Biggest rally at McDougall I've ever seen.

#Alberta #abpoli #AlbertaTeachers

I’ve covered dozens of protests at the provinces’s southern office at the McDougall Centre, but today’s teacher rally was by far the largest by a measure. Truly massive turnout for teachers to express their anger at the government.

The before and after in #yeg is absolutely bonkers!

Alberta announces support program for parents as strike looms As Alberta braces for a possible teachers' strike, the provincial government has unveiled a financial support initiative for parents.

This is such a naked ideological effort to kill the public school system.
Danielle Smith is never going to negotiate in good faith.

Premier's Alberta Next panel closes out tour in tense Calgary town hall | CBC News Premier Danielle Smith's panel completed its cross-province tour on a tense note on Monday night as the premier heard from residents with grievances directed at Ottawa and her own government.

Bruce McAllister suggesting that a 14-year-old should be beaten by a parent because he expressed an opinion? Seriously?

Thoughts and prayers to America's Gestapo, cowering in fear in the face of such violent [checks notes] . . . ur, dancing in the streets.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

A lot of Americans don't know this, but the winner of the Canadian election will be required live in a small cottage located in the backyard of the palace where the viceroy to the King of England lives.

The cottage just recently got a new wifi router, which was very exciting for all Canadians.

Breakenridge: MLA Peter Guthrie risks everything in calling for government accountability It’s not often we see someone standing on principle when there’s so much to lose, and not wavering when those consequences are realized.

“Albertans should take careful note of the plight of — and the warnings from — Airdrie-Cochrane MLA Peter Guthrie. If he is so alarmed as to risk his political future, maybe we should be, too.”

From the DM’s…

This is allegedly the letter Pete Guthrie wrote to Danielle Smith when he resigned as Minister in Feb.

In it, he alleges that Lagrange and likely Smith knew about the procurement problems & worse, that the AHS board was fired under false pretense.

#abpoli #ableg

BREAKING: Peter Guthrie has been expelled from the UCP Caucus for speaking out about government corruption.

That makes two!

The cracks are getting bigger and Danielle Smith is frantically scrambling.

Keep the pressure on, friends.

Demand your UCP MLA stand up too.

A better Alberta is possible.

From the DM’s…

The government of Alberta reportedly cancelled the “local procurement initiative” that was launched in response to the US tariffs.

Team Canada indeed?

Braid: Government tries to deflect auditor general to lawyers — No way, says Doug Wylie The Alberta UCP govenment wants Doug Wylie to talk to lawyer instead of witnesses in procurement scandal. No way, he says.

“We were not aware of, nor did we endorse, that proposed action. That is not a standard practice our office typically encounters in the course of its work.”

That leaked AH memo sure has the auditor general fired up!

Priorities, right?
