YouTube video by Naheed Nenshi Public servants aren't above criticism. We are here to serve Albertans. Danielle Smith is not.

The more I think about the Premier's comments, the more shocked I am.

Public servants aren’t above criticism, and her behaviour was insensitive and unbelievably entitled.

Albertans deserve better.
The people of Jasper deserve better.

YouTube video by David Shepherd Danielle Smith Plays Big But Thinks Small

Danielle Smith’s likes to pretend she has a big vision for Alberta.

The truth is, her idea of who we are & we can be is incredibly small.

I take a moment to explain how her Alberta Next panel’s just a tired retread of the same ideas we’ve repeatedly rejected.

Today, I rose in the Senate to speak to Bill C-5, specifically to the Building Canada Act. Here's my effort to contextualize my various concerns with the act - and to tell to Albertans about why separatist threats will scuttle any pipeline dreams. #C5 #SenCa #SenateofCanada #cndpoli #ableg #abpoli

*15% other responses

‘$135M worth of wasted products’: Alberta premier defends decision to charge for COVID vaccines Danielle Smith defended her government’s decision to charge many Albertans for COVID vaccinations, which the province announced late Friday afternoon in a media release.

This is honestly too much. The Premier talking about 135M HC dollars just wasted and acting like she has NOTHING to do with why we are here. Everything she and her govt has done has brought us to this point, a 🧵to recap:

If you're interested in Alberta politics, and aren't a UCP supporter Chris is a must follow. Was going to reSkeet, but he's got 3 parts of his analysis of the UCP's bills. It's ugly, authoritarian, opaque and makes space for yet more corruption.

The final days of the Alberta Legislature’s Spring 2025 session pissed me off. I rolled up my sleeves right after and started a research project.

I present to you all an #ableg 🧵:

Alberta’s grievances aren’t actually reasonable The defenders of Canada all seem to agree that Alberta's grievances with the federal government are worth taking seriously. But what if they aren't?

Memo to Alberta's federalists and anti-separatists: stop accepting Danielle Smith's premise that the province has been screwed over by Ottawa.

It's time for more facts and fewer feelings. #cdnpoli #abpoli

Jim Stanford: Let’s drop the phoney Alberta versus Canada nonsense. The province has met the enemy — and it is them During the so-called decade of federal 'attacks on oil,' Alberta oil giants set records for production and profits, writes Jim Stanford. So why is the average Albertan not getting their

Albertans have good reason to be angry: their real wages are down 10%, their minimum wage is frozen, their inflation is worst in Canada, their health care's at risk. None of that was caused by the rest of Canada. My take in today's @TorontoStar: www.thestar.com/business/opi.... #cdnecon

In which, without naming the man, Ms Urback in @theglobeandmail.com correctly diagnoses the Queen of Stupid Danielle Smith as Canada’s Boris Johnson - he who played footsie with both sides on Brexit until he eventually figured out where his self-interest lay.
She is a sociopathic traitor, is all.

UCP Shuts Down Democracy YouTube video by Alberta NDP Caucus

WATCH LIVE: House Leader Christina Gray recaps the spring session of the Alberta Legislature and the UCP’s repeated attacks on Alberta’s democracy youtube.com/live/sCsDaaN...

This is 💯 what the UCP are doing. To quote a friend, "they just aren't as slick"

So whenever someone asks for Smith's motivations, self-preservation and personal ambition are your best bets.

People are sick as fuck. Some are gaining perverse pleasure watching a gang of lawyers re-victimize a young woman who was already victimized by a gang of hockey players. The whole system is rotten and the judge knowing the media attention, is just letting it happen.

Tomorrow at noon, the premier is hosting a press conference on the "Alberta Accord" and "Alberta Next" ultimatums.

If I made better life choices and had the chance to be a journalist in the room, here's what I'd be asking. 🧵

Let's not let chaos queen rattle us Canada. Just think of this everytime you see her speak.
