Braid: With monster fine and ban on words, UCP locks down political landscape
Bill 14 would institute hefty penalties for anyone who misuses information collection during a petition drive while also limiting the use of some words in political party names
So authoritarian threats and intimidation begin.
Danielle Smith, obey the Constitution, honour First Nations Treaties and respect nearly half million #ForeverCanadian Albertans, and you wonβt have to fear me.
You and I differ. I follow the law.

You're grabbed by the story ... the dialog ... the pictures painted in your mind by the words ... visuals augment but don't need to be 50 feet across ... don't need shaking seats ... don't need odorous venues ... those are for popcorn vendors.

Respect for the rule of the law is not a characteristic of Danielle Smith and the UCP party as a whole.

Opinion: Ideology over expertise putting health care at risk
The greatest danger now facing the system is the absence of qualified leadership.
Must read here by a former senior AHS executive. Alberta's healthcare system is being run into the ground by ideological Dunning-Kruger politicians.

"We honestly canβt afford another ignorant and ill-informed experimentation with our HC system."
Unfortunately it's already in motion.
If they're elected again in 2027 (or whenever she wants to go to the polls) Canadian HC in AB is toast.

How to Fix Western Alienation - Macleans.ca
Ottawa feels out of touch. Spreading the federal government across the country would rebuild trust.
FTA: "Technology makes this possible. The pandemic proved that the machinery of government can operate from anywhere."
I'm on board with this.

I hope @lukaszukab.bsky.social might want to create a party to carry the progessive conservative banner in AB.
It's been gone for a dozen years.
Some stayed with the stench of the UCP ... some leaned orange ... but if such a group arose, you'd be surprised at just how many want to come home.
