Anti-NDP legislation not strong enough to protect UCP What did they expect? Honestly; someone needs a time out.

The Recall Act -- the UCP's legislation aimed at removing politicians not "conservative enough" -- might end up biting them in the ass. Admit it: that would be GLORIOUS AF πŸ˜…!

UCP made corporate donations legal in Alberta again. Then, businesses gave them $471K in first period. | CBC Accessibility Injury lawyers opened their wallets to support the United Conservative Party, while their fight against auto insurance reforms continues.

You've got to wonder how many times per day @carrietait.bsky.social has to physically & audibly scream into the void while she writes about the current Alberta government, because there seems to be no action Premier Smith won't take at this point to dodge findings on the healthcare scandal.

Reporters should be asking Dr. Diamond (ACA CEO) and Minister Jones to answer for these increasing cases of worsening access to care...

They'll both try to defer back to "AHS"... but the solutions are in workforce/capacity/and integrated load levelling... which AHS can't do

"AHS said it understands the delays can cause additional stress and it apologized for any inconvenience caused to the patients and their families."

AHS no longer has ANY control over their conditions - they just run hospitals

UCP fumbling primed Albertans to support the teachers’ strike Danielle Smith left for Saudi Arabia before invoking Notwithstanding Clause

The UCP spent the past year doing things that ensured public opinion was primed to support the striking teachers regardless of the government’s advertising campaigns or talking points.
