In today’s edition of “The UCP Are A Bad Boss,” Public Safety Minister Mike Ellis comes out against…police? Two Ministers & the Premier are calling out EPS for trying to support communities facing increasing levels of hate, online & IRL. Because the UCP always put politics before people. #abpoli

So serious question fellow Albertans, how many of you all are actively making plans to leave the province for good? I am hoping to be out of here by the end of next year. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

It’s been 6 years, 2 Premiers & 5 Ministers of Mental Health & Addictions (3 full, 2 assoc.) since UCP first promised to build these communities across Alberta And now, with millions of Albertans’ tax $ spent, several are caught in a web of missed payments & alleged crooked contracts. 1/2 #abpoli

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said construction on 3 recovery centres on Indigenous land will soon finish on budget, subcontractors facing stacks of unpaid invoices doubt it. Plus: One Indig group fired its contractor www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... w @tomcardoso.bsky.social

x.com/i/status/208... She has ZERO idea how to govern. She thinks it's just a matter of implementing, by authority, whatever looney idea whispered into her credulous ear. She seeks status and is happy to sacrifice anyone to achieve it. SMITH IS UNFIT TO RULE.

Make an election promise to reverse this debacle when you're elected as govt, and you'll win. Start promising now, because she could call a snap election, and the NDP aren't currently making a dent in the political conversation.

A constituent of mine is 90 years old. He's wheelchair bound. He lives in a care facility. He has called Alberta home for over 70 years. He gave this province his taxes, his vote, his whole life. Now the UCP is putting his healthcare at risk.

Tell Smith today to reverse course. Phone: 780-427-2251

His daughter went to renew his Alberta ID. She brought his 1953 Canadian citizenship certificate, issued the year he arrived here as a child. She was told it wasn't good enough. Only passports or birth certificates would do.

UCP's plan to put citizenship markers on driver's licenses is an absolute disaster: 1) many seniors don't have a passport/birth certificate easily accessible 2) people are unable to renew their driver's license, risking their employment 3) ID changes put healthcare at risk too #ableg #abpoli

To paraphrase Mike: We don't condone racism, but you should be allowed to be a racist.

In this time of grave uncertainty: separatism and a referendum on breaking apart Canada sows discord and uncertainty. In an article earlier this year, the Mayor of St. Albert shared how it undermines the work all orders of government are doing. #StAlbert #UnitedForCanada #ForeverCanadian #ableg

Danielle Smith is wasting your money and adding to health workforce burnout by allowing anyone to order diagnostic tests. Alberta's new system is NOT like anything else in the world. Follow up on unimportant test findings will fall to taxpayers and there will be fewer providers in the public system.

It really sucks knowing that people voted for Danielle Smith for the promises she can’t fulfill. If she can easily bail on one provincial service/right then I would hate to imagine what else we could lose. Danielle Smith is making Alberta a lost cause🫩 #Canada #Alberta #ABpoli #CdnPoli

Smith exemplifies and enables the worst of humanity. #ABpoli

If we care about disability justice, one of the lowest-hanging fruits is masks in healthcare. It remains unacceptable that vulnerable patients must ask, sometimes beg, healthcare workers to mask, while also explaining to them why respirator masks are better

Good to see. Less good? If csis has no power to stop this, and rcmp can only go in if criminal, what is the federal government doing to counter sophisticated information campaigns that are happening? Read more in Sturgeon’s reports from Wesley Wark, linked below

The UCP are a bad boss. Turns out their decision to force Albertans to put their citizen status & healthcare on their drivers license or ID is creating huge delays. And those delays are costing registries money. Just one more way the UCP are making life harder for Albertans. #abpoli

Understandably. Nobody wants an electricity bill surging, water guzzling, planet boiling ai data centre AT ALL. But of course Danielle Smith and the Conservative Separatist Party are the only pushing these into our towns and cities. Protest hard and loud! #Alberta #Canada #ABpoli #Cdnpoli
