If you want a real-time case study on vaccines:

🩵 Newfoundland & Labrador:
95% MMR coverage
0 measles cases.

❤️ Alberta:
73% MMR coverage
1900 measles cases (as of Oct 11 2025).

It's almost like .... vaccines work

Tiresome #O&G blather. Nearly 7 decades of it (booooring) and the dumbing down of oilpatch chat (HARD TO DO) curdles my tummy contents. Grow UP #REDNECKS. You are embarrassing. Plenty of us in #Alberta aren't rigpiggies. I loved #Carney doing his shtick.... #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I put #DanielleSmith and #DougFord at the centre of this toxic embarrassment. Underfunding healthcare, public health and education, while actively allowing anti-vax nonsense to impact policy decisions. #ONpoli #ableg #measles #cenpoli

Canadian anti-vaxxers are a disgrace to all humanity.

The Billion-Dollar Boondoggle: Alberta’s Sovereignty Act Danielle Smith’s “Sovereignty Act” isn’t about defending Alberta — it’s about deregulating it. Behind the rainbow bans, pronoun panics, and “freedom” slogans is a billion-dollar game of distraction wh...

They call it “sovereignty.”
It’s really a corporate coup.
Danielle Smith’s Sovereignty Act turns outrage into policy and control into “freedom.”

Danielle Smith hates people who have Disabilities, that's why she is making their lives a living hell 🤬 #abpoli #ableg #yeg #yyc #yql

On a week that...

- There were multiple reports of worsening Red Alerts
- A major story broke about Paramedic burnout
- Stunning numbers came out about ambulances being staffed only because of overtime...

Smith claims EMS is fixed.

They called it “choice”
We call it a $1.2 billion education siphon.

Alberta’s public schools: fewer teachers, more trailers, and lobbyists everywhere.

Preston Manning invented the Reform Party concept. It was used by Ross Perot (unsuccessfully) and then by Newt Gingrich and the Tea Party to brand a top down Fascist movement as grassroots. The Alberta far right has a lot to answer for. There were literal NAZIs there when I lived there.

Opinion: Notwithstanding clause never meant to be used to benefit the government Dave King was was there when clause was born in Alberta cabinet. It was never meant to be used for the benefit of the government itself.

Former PC Education Minister Dave King was at the cabinet table when notwithstanding was devised. His devastating view of what the UCP has done. Don't miss this piece.

On the same day that Peter Lougheed's Eduction Minister said the 1981 cabinet would have never used the notwithstanding clause in the same way Smith did...

Smith doubles down and says Lougheed would have.

That's a special kind of something...

Here's Rob Anderson, Premier Smith's Chief of Staff, in 2013 (before the 2015 Supreme Court decision):

"That to me impinges upon their freedom of assembly, I would think, and their right to organize & so forth, which is a protected right under our Charter of Rights and Freedoms"

The NDP found their numbers!

Bill 201 would

- increase minimum wage to $18 over 3 years and then index it to inflation.
- Eliminate the lower "youth" minimum wage (youth don't pay lower prices, after all)
- Ensure tips stay with service staff.

No matter what happens today with the budget, the choices for PM are still the same as they were last April

Carney or Poilievre

I know Carney is really a small "C" conservative

But I'll take that over a fascist-Trump wanna-be any day

#cdnpoli

Mark my words- Poilievre is going to lose 3-5 MPs within weeks if he gaslights hard on this budget.

He will bitch his way to handing the Liberal party a majority.
#cdnpoli

Alberta conservative voters: “Floor crossers are SCUM!”

Also Alberta conservative voters: *elect a Premier who crossed the floor when she was leader of the official opposition, & has a Chief of Staff who - as an MLA - crossed the floor so many times we named him “Roomba Rob”.

Having heard that teachers are exhausted and under resourced to provide mandated standardized testing…

Nicolaides today…

Introduced more standardized testing!

And gave himself access to your kids specific personal information!

Poilievre once again trying to sleeze his way out of answering questions. His lap dog cronies have to step in squirming to answer with dumbfounded looks on their faces. #cdnpoli

The UCP government created and championed the Citizens Initiative Act as a fundamental part of our democracy - giving citizens the right to launch petitions and recall elected officials.
Now they're walking away from that commitment.

#ableg #cdnpoli

Today Elections Alberta requested $13.5 million to be able to administer recalls and referendum.

The UCP committee in charge revised their request to just over $1 million.

And then voted it through.

The UCP just defunded recall/referendum.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

New Democrats & I will always fight to keep Alberta within Canada.

NO to seperatism.

#abooli #ableg #cdnpoli

In 2021, former UCP Premier, Jason Kenney, introduced the recall legislation so MLAs could remember who they serve.

In 2025, my UCP restricts funding to make it even more difficult for the public to recall UCP MLAs.

That's UCP democracy!

#abpoli #yyc #ableg #yeg

All the more reason to recall UCP MLAs, ironically.

UCP members vote in committee to replace auditor general Doug Wylie, forcing rush to complete health procurement report. He isn't sure he can finish before a newbie takes over. Column
