*9 billion deficit and 23 billion over 3 years
*Increased property taxes via school tax
*money for healthcare doesn't include hospital construction
*increase in other fees ie; vehicle registration
*doubles down on oil revenues to finance the province in years to come
Albertans need to get serious and vote the UCP out before things here get as bad as they are already in some places in the USA.
Danielle Smith is pushing the MAGA intolerance hard now, and it will only get worse. #abpoli
I concur Alex. I expect reporters like @adammacvicar.bsky.social get councillors like Dan βwar on carβ McLean to fight back for Calgarians against his UCP cronies.

Grew up in rural Alberta. Have spent all 43 years of my life in this province. Been very politically tuned in my entire adult life. Always thought of myself as small-c conservative. And now Iβm feeling every bit of this Craig Baird editorial. #ABleg

Disgusting.
These UCP thieves are taking billions of OUR money and gifting it to wealthy private schools and private health care providers, many of them good buddies of Dani and the Thieves. #ableg
What I learned today:
Liberal deficits cause inflation.
UCP deficits preserve 'Alberta values'
The 2026 Alberta budget includes critical investments in affordable housing, education, health care, and child care, but changes to vital income support programs may push more Albertans deeper into poverty. VCC will conduct a deeper analysis of the budget in the coming days.

Could not agree more. Mr. Shepherd is an incredible speaker. In fact, the NDP opposition in Alberta has most of the savviest, best-informed and best-spoken individuals in the AB Legislature today, several of whom also have experience as cabinet ministers (2015-2019).

Is the province still going to have an expensive referendum no one asked for this fall?
Is the province going to still going to push for a provincial police force no one asked for?
Is the province still going to randomly invoke the notwithstanding clause based on whatever strikes their fancy?

The UCP continues it's unbroken streak of making decisions that seem intended to convince me that they are trying to kill Albertans instead of investing in helping them.

A Calgarian living with terminal cancer is calling on health officials in the province to restore access to an after-hours specialist phone line for cancer patients in southern Alberta

Calgary cancer patients lose access to after-hours oncology support line
But yet Danielle Smith has enough money for a new effing police force. How much is this going to cost us? Healthcare could have used the funds.

Imagine having SIX times the resource revenue and still ending up with a larger deficit than when Alberta's New Democrats were in power.
How embarrassing.

The govt thinks that a 1 year response to a private memberβs question(s) is a βtimelyβ response.
They really do think Albertans are stupid and complacent.
