There is nothing funny about this performance. She lies and contorts her face, thinking she’s fooling us. 🎭

We see the lying and the lack of soul. We see a woman who only cares for herself and her power. This isn’t leadership; it’s cruelty. πŸ™„

Thousands of Alberta seniors to lose income supplement as province faces rising provincial deficit | CBC News Alberta is making cuts to seniors' benefits and tax credits for caregivers as it faces a $9.4-billion budget deficit.

But the incompetent UCP is happy to give hundreds of millions to coal companies without a fight.

No doubt it’s in the tens of millions. All so Danielle can appease her radical base.

Scary to be a senior in Alberta these days. Not enough housing or care facilities, a broken health care system, reduced access to life saving vaccines and now less funding for those trying to survive in poverty or willing to care for a frail parent at home. Cruelty is the point with the UCP! 😑

The cruelty is the point for Smith and the UCP! Instead of raising business tax and oil royalties, the UCP plans to balance the budget on the backs of the poor!

β€œI’m singled out now due to the colour of my skin but more importantly so many other people are targets for blame! This is really dangerous rhetoric and it’s to cover up for Danielle Smith’s own poor planning and financial mismanagement! Cut the bullshit!”

"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.

I agree that the UCP allocation of funds to healthcare and education is simply a bribe to bring the temperature down.

I would also point out that the only reason the UCP are spending on healthcare and education is that there's an election next year

If you spend time in the bad place, you’re hearing this claim a lot:

Alberta sends $23B more to Ottawa than it gets back. If we separated, we’d erase the $9B deficit and have a $14B surplus.

It sounds simple. It’s wrong. Here's why. 🧡

As I understand it, they tore apart our previous system that was admired by others, created four silos that don’t talk well to each other and now they are centralizing again? Make it make sense! Do they have any idea of what they are doing? Looks like the UCP are wasting more taxpayer dollars. 😑

So the UCP spends $81M (at least!) to dismantle our centralized health care system, then another $2.3 BILLION to establish yet another agency to re-centralize it?

So much for fiscal responsibility!

Our public health care is in crisis. We need targeted funding to improve capacity & ensure patients can access the care they need.

Instead, the Alberta government keeps funneling money into chaotic restructuring & private profits, while trying to sell it to us as a win for health care.

So…

The UCP is moving procurement, which is the core of the β€œcorrupt care” scandal into…

The premiers office.

Cool.

What could possibly go wrong?

"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.

"Inaccurate data": How Recovery Alberta officials facilitated consumption site closures (Pt 2) Selective data sharing by some of Alberta's top health officials may backstop plausible deniability for government negligence in closing sites – with impacts all the way to Ontario.

Stats don’t matter to this government, and if they show something that does not align with their decision-making, they withhold the stats or change the metric.
