Heading into the long weekend, many people are worried about the price at the pumps. For months, the Alberta NDP has called on the UCP to pause the provincial fuel tax, but instead the UCP has decided to make this the most expensive long weekend ever.
Disclaimer: This is probably not a real conversation. But it is a general vibe from the UCP.
It’s official! Angela Sommers is our nominated candidate for Red Deer-North! Her experience navigating Alberta’s education and health care systems reinforced her commitment to practical solutions that build a stronger, more affordable future. She's ready. Alberta's New Democrats are ready.
Danielle Smith and the UCP are making this long weekend the most expensive long weekend ever! Putting gas in the tank and food in the cooler has become much more expensive over the last few years. Albertans deserve a government focused on lowering costs and making life more affordable.
Danielle Smith and the UCP aren't doing anything to help with affordability. This is shaping up to be the most expensive long weekend ever for Albertans. The Alberta NDP has a plan to fix that. Watch live: youtube.com/live/yZbJoTi...

Devin Dreeshen refuses to answer how he'll vote in his own party's separatist referendum this October. If you're asking Albertans to vote on the future of our country, you should be willing to tell them where you stand.
Despite Danielle Smith prioritizing her relationship with the Trump Administration, they just announced 50% tariffs on Canadian exports. Albertans are paying the price while she puts her political interests first. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-canada-us-trade-tariffs-cusma-usmca-9.7276973
