The Cons are so messed up; they need to burn their party to the ground and restart.

Albertaโ€™s Justice Minister is wasting Albertansโ€™ tax dollars in court arguing against a law he himself passedโ€”just to pander to Alberta separatists?!!

You probably wonโ€™t be shocked to hear that after losing his seat in the Canadian election & barely putting any effort into his safe seat โ€œcampaignโ€ in Alberta that he needs, Pierre Poilievre STILL refuses to complete the normal security check and try to get the standard, ordinary security clearance.

Alberta paid more than six times usual price for pain medications in $70-million import deal, according to government briefing note Briefing note indicates health authority could have reduced overall bill by ordering less medicine

Iโ€™ll keep howling it until more of you get it:

The AHS contract procurement scandal is the only thing we should be focussed on. Separation is a distraction. Itโ€™s all about THIS.

You are not dogs, #ableg. Stop reacting to every UCP โ€œsquirrelโ€.

Some of you still arenโ€™t waking up to exactly how awful this Premier is, nor why she wants a show of fighting for the separatists in court, nor who sheโ€™s pandering to with her far right, faux libertarian rhetoric.

YEG-the worst. We didnโ€™t vote UCP.

Our HC system is set up to fail. If Albertans die to push their agenda? Fine. Bring in Smithโ€™s โ€œcontractorsโ€.

DanielleSmith made it clear that sheโ€™s on the side of the separatists. Today, Smith and Minister Amery instructed government lawyers to oppose Elections Albertaโ€™s reference of the separatistโ€™s ballot to the Court. #ForeverCanadian lawyers and I will be in court tomorrow. 1/2

Time to be honest with ourselves: Alberta's COVID vaccine policy isn't just misguidedโ€”it's importing U.S.-style RFK Jr. ideology instead of following Canadian public health standards. We know where this leadsโ€”and itโ€™s not toward equity or safety. #ABleg #ABpoli #DanielleSmith #FireLaGrange

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

People riding bikes in a protected bike lane in downtown Vancouver

Itโ€™s REALLY important that #Vancouverโ€™s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against downtown bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of the evidence that they are better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.

Bike-lanes mean business.

Higher education correlates inversely with voting Conservative, which is why #Cons like PP and #GovernorFord want to destroy and privatize (at public expense) our public education system.
They want what their ๐ŸŠ idol is doing in the US to groom the gullible into ignorant acquiescence.

Canada is the only country with over 60% with tertiary education

Canada is the only country with over 60% with tertiary education

Canadian values were borne from a long history of strong education:

Womenโ€™s voting rights, 1918.

Abortion legalized 1969, expanded as a medical procedure 1988.

Decriminalized being gay 1969, legalized gay marriage 2005.

Multiculturalism official policy 1971.

Canadaโ€™s the only country having over 60% with a tertiary education.

This isnโ€™t a numbers competition: it explains Canadaโ€™s values, โ€œEducation can promote gender equality, reduce child marriage, promote peaceโ€

Education promotes decency.

This. I have tremendous empathy for climate anxiety and despair, but very little for those telling others it's too late. The former is unavoidable to some degree if you understand what we're up against, the latter is untrue (climate isn't pass/fail and every degree matters) and undermines action.

A bold, graphic protest poster with yellow and black hazard striping, resembling a warning sign. The large title at the top reads, โ€œNO, YOU DIDNโ€™T VOTE FOR THISโ€ in black, all-caps text. Below are three text boxes listing criticisms of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's government actions:

    "WHAT YOU WERE PROMISED BY DANIELLE SMITH"

        "Freedom, prosperity, and parental rights."

    "WHAT YOU GOT"

        "55 sweeping laws with no consultation or transparency"

        "Bill 5 โ€“ rewrote election law"

        "Bill 46 โ€“ dismantled public health powers"

        "Addiction criminalized, harm reduction attacked"

        "Cabinet control over pensions, curricula, municipalities"

    Additional criticism:

        "Changes not campaigned on โ€” obscured or denied"

        "Passed via omnibus bills and bureaucratic language"

        "Rushed through with limited debate"

At the bottom, another box declares:
โ€œNot a mandate โ€“ A BAIT AND SWITCHโ€

To the right of the text, there is an image of a large wrecking ball breaking through a yellow background, symbolizing destruction.

When will you get your credentials from Elections Alberta to collect signatures?

Where will you be able to sign the petition?
