To celebrate Alberta staying in Canada, here is my favourite version of O Canada #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg #FuckTheUCP
The UCP consistently wastes money on trivial pursuits, whether on a war room or a pointless referendum, instead of investing in essential services like health care and education. #ableg #abpoli #FuckTheUCP
Random thought: I don’t think we’ve talked enough about how much money we wasted in Alberta on the energy “war room.” Did it accomplish anything in its existence to change hearts and minds? How much did we actually spend on it? And it just quietly went away. #ABleg www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
I stand with @jeromyyyc.bsky.social
With the latest provincial overreach, Danielle Smith is now ordering me how to vote at Calgary City Council. If I refuse, I risk losing my job. I want to work constructively with the province, even when we disagree. But we must be free to listen to residents and make fair decisions.
Inclusive Education also includes making sure a kid has the proper support in class so they can remain in the class, which is not happening with this UCP government #ableg #abpoli
So if you have ever wanted to run an inn, here is your chance for 10.4 million dollars in Canmore, Alberta #inn #canmore #alberta
If you're aiming for Alberta to separate from Canada, you might as well go take a hike to the USA and let the rest of us stay in Canada. #abpoli #ableg
It’s always this idiotic 20 something percent that always supports all the bad things. Covid conspiracy loving, hating gay people, hating immigrants, supporting the Wild Rose party, hating TrUdEaU, and on and on and on… Idiots the lot of them. #ableg #cdnpoli
Wasn't it Smith who told the Prime Minister to stay in his own lane? What a fucking joke. Smith and the UCP are destroying Alberta. #abpoli #ableg
BREAKING: Premier Danielle Smith announces province will direct Edmonton to adopt infill housing rules that were in place before 2024, and require Calgary to maintain its current pre-2024 bylaw framework.
If Ottawa took power away from the UCP, they'd be screaming. But they're taking power away from the cities. What a fucking joke. #abpoli #ableg
The UCP is pulling rank on Edmonton council, forcing a roll back of #yeg's infill bylaw. It's the latest in a series of moves by the province, taking power away from municipalities. What do you think of the move? 👀 FULL: rtrj.info/100826infill 🎧 FULL: rtrj.info/100826 #yegcc #abpoli #RealTalkRJ
Nathan Neudorf is so full of BS. It is time for this government to start listening to people with disabilities. Because the changes to AISH have been a dumpster fire #abpoli #ableg #yeg #yyc #yql
This should have never happened initially. The UCP demonstrate a blatant disregard for the well-being of disabled Albertans, showing an essentially heartless attitude and a lack of concern for their needs and rights. #abpoli #ableg
How broken does a system have to be that a family has to share the hardest parts of their life on camera to prove their son is "disabled enough" for AISH? In case you missed it… here's the Global News story. Please share so more people see Ben's story. 💚 @marierenaud.bsky.social #AISH #ADAP #abpoli
This shouldn’t have happened in the first place. Disabled Albertans are being unfairly treated by the UCP, and it’s high time this stopped.
This is fantastic news for Ben and his family! But it's also another example of how badly the UCP have screwed up AISH. Ben was forced onto ADAP, a social media outcry caused a re-evaluation and then Ben was approved AISH after they found out about a press conference. /1
I dedicate this song to Danielle Smith and the UCP supporters. #abpoli #ableg #FuckTheUCP #FuckSmith
I will always fight for Canada. 🇨🇦 #abpoli #ableg
“This pandemic of disinformation and dishonesty, through the conduit of the Alberta separatist movement, is testing not our hospitals but our political institutions and our belief that Canada is worth fighting for.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli thewalrus.ca/alberta-sepa...
This is the woman who cries over oil and pipelines but doesn't give a dam about the two individuals on AISH who killed themselves over changes to adap #ableg #abpoli #FuckSmith #FuckTheUCP
@daniellesmithab.bsky.social We have not forgotten. Crying because you heard sad stories in AB? There are sad stories all over 🇨🇦. You felt sorry for anti-vaxers? People died! You feel for people who can’t buy a home? You’re willing to cede 1st Nations land. #ABPoli #CdnPoli Oil is not the future!
Every time a Conservative opens his mouth it is a lie #cdnpoli
Sherwood Park - SHAMIE if you actually believe this #CON #MP misinformation? "Lying is strictly forbidden in Christian views as scripture commands believers to speak God's truth." #cdnpoli #ableg #abpoli #CPC #Shpk #SherwoodPark #Strathco #MAID Information you can trust: www.dyingwithdignity.ca
As a disabled Albertan, I have lived in a hostile environment since the UCP took power #abpoli #ableg #FuckTheUCP #FuckSmith
Over the ten years, Premier Smith claims Alberta faced a hostile federal government, oil and gas production doubled, and Ottawa poured tens of billions into energy infrastructure. The tolerance of her big lie is almost as remarkable as the lie itself. https://ow.ly/Fl7950ZRRaq
It's time for these so-called Christians to go fuck off. #abpoli #ableg
It takes a special kind of bigotry... To read the definition of hate speech and follow it up by saying "I'm going to take it to another level"... Before launching into an appalling attack on an entire religion. But Alberta Separatists are apparently up to that task. #abpoli

Premier Danielle Smith is scapegoating immigrants to hide her own failures. Say no to her discriminatory referendum. Join me and sign up here. ouralbertaadvantage.ca
Rebel News, Canada's version of fake news. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Rebel News has lost its bid to have a complaint it filed vs Forever Canadian expedited to be heard & decided before Oct. 19 referendum A judge ruled its litigation timeline was unworkable and wouldn't have produced any tangible result before voting day #ableg #abpoli

It was amazing to be part of the 16th annual Citizen Walk About Protesting against the cruel and inhumane things that the UCP and Danielle Smith are doing to disabled Albertans. #abpoli #ableg
This is bloody rubbish. Danielle Smith knows exactly what she's doing. She's just manipulating the situation to stay in her position. #abpoli #ableg #FuckTheUCP
An emotional Premier Danielle Smith held back tears Saturday as she recounted a long list of historic indignities Albertans have suffered at the hands of the federal government. https://cheknews.ca/why-walk-away-emotional-danielle-smith-speaks-against-separation-at-online-forum-1348929/
