Why is the UCP Government running massive deficits despite record-breaking oil production?

I asked the Minister of Finance today why the UCP Government is unable to effectively manage the royalty rollercoaster, even when times are good.

Bahahahaha.

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."

Well this is...

Nightmare fuel.

The UCP just used AI to create what is supposed to be a soothing ad on forced treatment.

But like the policy itself, it comes off as completely soulless.

For those who were asking, here is the video of the talk that I delivered in Red Deer (in a snowstorm) last week to the Council of Canadians about Alberta Separatism.

No surprise that CBC found she may not have been truthful.

Rakhi is really fired up. Excellent press conference. Well worth the listen.

Danielle Smith promises Alberta referendum over immigration, Constitution changes | Globalnews.ca Premier Danielle Smith said the immigration changes her UCP government has determined Alberta needs to push for are a significant departure from the status quo.

Danielle Smith believes she’s giving us a masterclass in distraction, but this reeks of desperation and Albertans will see right through it.

There is so much to unpack from Smith's TV address. It was a firehose of information. But one thing I need to emphasize. A referendum question to introduce an Alberta head tax on immigration!

Thank you, Michael for sharing what many of us feel.

"Democracy & justice in Alberta are being threatened. Alberta is being abused by its own government much the same way the United States of America is being abused by its current president."

Over 180 Lawyers have penned an open letter calling out Smith's attack on the law.

A fantastic piece by Senator Simons!

(I grinned widely at the mention of Robert Kroetsch.)

Paula Simons always has a wonderful way of writing. This is an excellent read.

Oh what I would give to be a fly on the wall of the communications meeting of the UCP this morning.

Will Smith praise the capture of Maduro but continue to wave her ‘clean, ethical Alberta crude’ under Trump’s nose even after he has stated that America will run Venezuela’s oil fields? 🤔

Thank you Charlie for taking action

The news shouldn’t be left versus right. It should be factual.

It shouldn’t be driven by the people, it should be informing the people.

It shouldn’t pander, engage in speculation or hyperbole.

It should educate.

It should provide context.

It should expose you to experts in various fields.

Many of you say that #ForeverCanadian awoke Albertans. It gave us a voice and purpose. I agree. Definitely, we are now a community and a movement that’s about to grow.

Let’s take a look back at 2025 and at how it all happened.

Happy New Year, Canada!🇨🇦

Paula Simons does an excellent job of stating her opinion of the Alberta government, and how the province is operating. It’s more than a few minutes listen but it is definitely worth it.

The media across Canada has done a very poor job of researching and publishing. The very true hate that goes on in this country.

Well, when you have likes of Rick Bell being a voice of Alberta, trotted out all the time on #CBCNN #PnP, it supports your view point. #abpoli #cdnpoli
