YouTube video by Ben Rowley How Cuts to Disability support programs in Alberta are going to affect people

How do Smith and Nixon look at themselves in the mirror? These Disability groups help people be part of the community if they go away they will be isolated #ableg #abpoli #FuckSmith #FuckTheUCP

What a FUCKING LOSER 🤬

I will take Taylor Swift over her any day 😐

Smith is a Traitor worst premier ever🤬

Danielle Smith’s Dangerous Sabotage of Team Canada | The Tyee Trudeau and other premiers adopted a united response to Trump’s tariffs. Alberta opted out.

@djclimenhaga.bsky.social: If Alberta Premier Danielle Smith intends to defy an all-party, all-province, national consensus on how to respond to Donald Trump’s tariff threats, she should call a provincial election and get a mandate to do so.

For all the separatists who are salivating at the idea of Alberta becoming the 51st state…

Just a reminder.

There’s some folks who have the final say in that.

And you would have to convince them that THIS time the powers have their best interests in mind.

A screenshot of an article by the Canadian Press reads: “We’re essential”: Disability rights groups shocked by Alberta government funding cut

Screenshot of an article by Canadian Press reads: “EDMONTON - Three Alberta disability advocacy groups say they're shocked and saddened after learning the provincial government plans to back out of their funding contracts more than a year early. "This hits deep," Leah Dormaar, the executive director of the Southern Alberta Individualized Planning Association in Lethbridge, Alta., told a news conference Wednesday. "It's devastating."

Screenshot of article by the Canadian Press reads: “Dormaar's organization, as well as the Self Advocacy Federation in Edmonton and the Disability Action Hall in Calgary, support Albertans with intellectual and physical disabilities by connecting them with peers and helping them develop skills to advocate for themselves. Keri McEachern, a facilitator with the Self Advocacy Federation, said each organization has a three-year funding contract with the government to support their operational costs. But she said that earlier this month, the government told them the funding would stop in April, more than a year before the contracts were set to expire.”

The UCP continue to harm the most vulnerable in our province.

Minister Nixon and the UCP are claiming that the government “wants resources to be used to connect those living with disabilities to front-line services… which these organizations don't provide.” #abpoli #ableg (1/3)

Alberta government axes funding for 3 disability advocacy groups | CBC News The Alberta government has cut funding to three self-advocacy groups for people with intellectual disabilities more than a year before the expiry of their contracts.

Disabled Albertans are no strangers to harm caused by shortsighted, incompetent UCP policy.

However, the cruelty in this case is jarring.

Total gov savings of $420k will harm hundreds of people with intellectual disabilities from Lethbridge, Calgary, Edmonton.

No coincidence that the UCP targets cuts in YEG, YYC & Lethbridge. Another example of punishing people who don’t vote for them and targeting our most vulnerable. We’re probably paying more for Stormy Dani to suck up to the orange felon than it would cost to honour these contracts. Deplorable

Did you know that Saipa is based in Lethbridge but provides services to all of Southern Alberta, including Brooks Medicine Hat, which is Danielle Smith's ridding!! If Smith you are in Smith ridding please ask her to reverse the cuts #ableg #abpoli

Province discontinuing funding for disability support group in Lethbridge A local organization that helps people who have disabilities might be forced to close its doors.The Southern A...

Minister Nixon needs to come down to Lethbridge and explain to Saipa why he is cutting funding while the UCP gives themselves a raise #ableg #abpoli #yql #lethbrdge

Wow — @timwalz backing @davidhogg.bsky.social for DNC chair, showing how you support generational change. www.mediaite.com/politics/tim...

Joe Walsh @walshfreedom.bsky.social He's guilty of 34 counts of business fraud He stole classified documents and led a conspiracy to obstruct the retrieval of them He pressured elections officials in Georgia to overturn their election results He tried to overthrow an American election And he won't face consequences for ANY of that

DonOLD Turnip, the first convicted felon to become president. 🤬

We are at a point where politicians can sexually assault women and keep their jobs but teachers will get fired for teaching history. @pcbrynn

Truly bizarre how the media stopped talking about how shitty and batshit nuts Hegseth, Kash Patel, RFK Jr and Tulsi were since the shitty, batshit nuts Felon 47 started threatening Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal.

STAY FOCUSED. 🤨

Why is the media like this?

when you have anti-DEI proponents openly going after black military officers for recruiting from HBCUs and suing schools for their black and Hispanic enrollment *even after the schools ended any racial preferences* then the only honest label for these people is "segregationist"

My goodness. We’re almost at 300,000 followers on Bluesky. I couldn’t be more grateful for this growing community. Your support gives me hope me every day.

Serving on President Biden’s digital team in 2020 was the honor of my life. Let’s keep fighting for the values that brought us together. 💙💪

This history major endorses this message.
