Wherein Smith claims that "newcomers" are costing the province $9 Billion in social programs.

In order for that to be true, every single newcomer would have to be accessing social programs that many don't even have access to.

These are evil misrepresentations.

Alberta Premier defends fall referendum plans Danielle Smith stumbles when asked about costs of providing health care and education to newcomers; NDP says referendum proposals designed to inflame

“Alberta said health care costs, excluding those tied to hospitals, clock in at $100-million a year for non-permanent residents.”

So…

The UCP is moving procurement, which is the core of the “corrupt care” scandal into…

The premiers office.

Cool.

What could possibly go wrong?

"Time & again, the UCP has demonstrated a lack of understanding, respect, & good faith in its dealings with First Nations"

The Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation has released a statement backing the unanimous Non-Confidence Motion by the Assembly of Treaty Chiefs.

"A sharp slowdown in population growth and lingering trade
uncertainty will be a drag on economic growth this year."

- From Alberta's new budget while Alberta simultaneously (and falsely) blames an excess of immigrants for the cost of everything.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

"This has never happened in Alberta’s history, and it reflects the profound harm caused by the Premier’s embrace of separatism."

The NDP have released a statement on the Assembly of Treaty Chiefs vote of non-confidence in the UCP.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

"We will not sit back and watch as this government lays out the welcome mat for making Alberta the 51st State in breach of our Treaties."

Mikisew Cree First Nation has filed a lawsuit for Danielle Smith’s flagrant disregard for Treaties.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

"Danielle Smith's government is acting as an embassy for the worst we've seen from south of the border, and it's time to say no.”

The Assembly of Treaty Chiefs has passed a unanimous vote of non-confidence in the UCP government.

$2.3B allocated to new crown corporation supporting Alberta health agencies Alberta is creating a provincial corporation, Health Shared Services, to centralize corporate services between its four health agencies.

So…

We’re spending 2.3 billion to replicate the services that were built into our former integrated system because Dani was committed to disintegrating it?

Oh boy…

Danielle Smith has authorized the province to go $40 Billion into debt.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

If you watch 2 minutes of video today…

Make it this.

A masterclass on oratory and personal responsibility is on full display.

Calgary cancer patients lose access to after-hours oncology support line | CBC News A Calgarian living with terminal cancer is calling on health officials in Alberta to restore access to after-hours specialist care for patients of the province’s largest cancer centre.

Yet again, Alberta is actively rolling back cancer care.

When confronted with the reality that violent crime has dropped more than the overall crime index, Ellis responded with...

"Ok, yeah but let me tell you some scary stories, and anyways metrics don't matter when people don't feel safe, DID YOU HEAR MY SCARY STORIES?!?"

Basically.

Ellis complained today the feds haven't confirmed what their funding model would be for the RCMP and he wasn't sure if it would meet Alberta's needs.

When asked what funding model Alberta would need?

"I don't know"

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Ellis on what ASPS would do differently...

(Alberta Sheriffs Police Service, they chose that acronym)

Ellis - "I was a former police officer... The basic skill sets and the training is really identical"

No, but actually.

He said that.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Mike Ellis today - Oh man, Crime™️ is technically down but it's getting so much worse...

Actual Alberta data - Crime is at its lowest point in a decade.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

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.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Anyways, here's an example of one of the outstanding questions...

Can't imagine why the UCP wouldn't want to answer.

Hey, didn't the CEO of Invest Alberta suddenly and unexpectedly resign?

Weird.

This is exchange is...

Revealing.

The UCP has just changed the timeline to answer written questions from MLA's to what could foreseeably be literally years.

And it seems to be in direct response to Peter Guthrie's questions...

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Looks like the UCP is going to use a few legitimate concerns about MAID to try and massively roll back the program in Alberta.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Today, Joseph Schow said that NDP leader Naheed Nenshi was "spending a lot of time with his friend and ally in Ottawa Justin Trudeau"...

Especially with a housing crisis, how is Trudeau still living rent free in Joey's head?

Dudes been gone for a over a year.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

In other news, while 13.9% of Trudeau appointees had made political donations to the liberals...

33% of Smith's appointees have made donations to the UCP.

Or using Amery math...

100% of UCP appointments who have made donations made them to the UCP!

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Today, Smith responded to criticisms that she was using tactics and rhetoric similar to the Nazis...

By casting Alberta as an economic victim, blaming external forces, claiming there are external enemies against Alberta & then blaming immigrants.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Did...

Danielle Smith just re-write one of her referendum questions in real time?

When asked about the question on abolishing the senate, she says the question is whether to abolish the "charade" of holding elections for senators in Alberta.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Smith on the constitutionality of her anti-immigration referendum questions...

"I guess we can battle it out in the courts"

Given her love of the courts/judges these days, looks like we can expect yet another use of the Notwithstanding clause.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Smith seemed to acknowledge today that her "constitutional" referendum questions are nothing more than a performative effort to quell the separatists & that the results have no force or impact without the rest of Canada agreeing.

Good thing to spend money on!

#abpoli #ableg

"We're hearing from immigrant communities that some of them are quite upset about your referendum questions on immigration..."

Smith - Well I think we can all agree that Trudeau was the worst, but let me repeat a lot of those upsetting unsubstantiated claims!

#abpoli #ableg

When asked today why her govt has broken the promise of triage physicians that Albertans were told would be in place immediately...

Smith's response?

"we can look at Nurse Practitioners, we can look at Physicians Assistants."

Nothing on the broken promise.
