🤬 DS & UCP... we 👀who you are... We know it's definitely NOT about flags nor student learning & success. It's about sending a message that all ABs whom you deem as "defectives" don't belong here. You are a vile disgusting lot. It is YOU that don't belong here. Resign. #fireUCP #abpoli #ableg

Observation on sign graffiti during the #abpoli referendum campaign: Vandalism of pro-separatist signs tended to use language like "traitor", "no separation", and so on. Sometimes a sign would get kicked over or slashed. Pro-Canada signs would get vandalized differently: /1

On vandalized pro-Canada signs, I would see open homophobia, transphobia and racist slogans. It says a lot about the attitudes being perpetuated within the separatist campaign ... we are not the same. Then there is this: www.thewatchdog.ca/on-eve-of-al... #abpoli #cdnpoli

Yes. Dan Williams, Jason Nixon, Adriana LaGrange, Nicolaides, Nate Horner and Mike Ellis and their ministerial staffers too (Blackett, A. Singh, Brattinga, Prisco, McAllister) just to mention some. It's quite the swamp. #corruptCore #corruptCare #ableg #abpoli #corruptUCP #TakeBackAlbertaIsACult

If you watch one clip this week, this should be it. According to Peter Guthrie, Danielle Smith's Executive DIrector Rob Anderson & her Justice Minister Mickey Amery weren't just bystanders on the "CorruptCare" Scandal. They were active participants at the heart of it. #abpoli

They preach "Alberta First" while promising the Americans our water, oil, and land. I joined Edmonton's Mayor Andrew Knack on CBC's Power & Politics to call out the hypocrisy of the Alberta separatist movement. You don’t defend Alberta by putting our province up for sale to the United States.

While everybody's attention is on elections in BC and QC, a 10 question referendum(b) in Alberta, foreign interference in all of the above, and the continued decline of the POTUS into dementia ... this is a reminder that: /1 #cdnpoli

The Supreme Court of Canada ruling on whether there are limits on the application of S33 is still pending ... that will decide if Canada has a viable Charter of Rights and Freedoms that applies across the country, or if we live under the tyranny of provinces rewriting the Charter with S33. #abpoli

Some mandatory reading for anybody trying to understand the Alberta separatist movement. It's not pretty, it's really ugly and they are engaging in treachery on a scale that should anger all Canadians. Last week, 2 major articles came out investigating their activities. #abpoli #cdnpoli /1

Together, these articles paint a picture of a "movement" that is in fact a political manipulation by a foreign power. This is an organized attempt to undermine Canada and destroy it from within. This is treachery on a scale new to Canada. /4

That alone should make any Canadian very worried about this project, and rightly utterly furious with Danielle Smith and her fellow separatist travellers. *and yes, Smith is very much a separatist even when she claims otherwise. /5 ~fin~

We already know who Smith is, Mr. Mason. She is somewhere between a political magpie and a jellyfish - all the spine of a jellyfish, and all the political consistency of a magpie caught in glitter storm. #abpoli

There's a reason 60 years of conservative propaganda in Alberta has taught Albertans to hate unions, despite the fact that most Albertans are blue collar workers #ableg #abpoli

Increase in productivity since 1979: 93% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 34% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Solid stuff from McLaughlin. The CPC has a troll problem, & it’s one of their own creating. While the terminally online Poili-trolls may have been a help during the Trudeau era, they’ve become a hindrance to a party that is increasingly viewed as juvenile/unserious by the majority of Cdn voters.

Canada, understand this clearly: 1) Doctors didn't build publicly funded healthcare. You did 2) Most of you can't afford private, profiteer healthcare 3) Doctors aren't going to fix this. We follow the money, just like you 4) Only the public can save publicly funded healthcare ~Raghu Venugopal MD

If you put a 1000 monkeys in a room and give of them a typewriter, they still won't produce Shakespeare. Building a 1000 AI data centres won't birth Artificial General Intelligence. But, a lot of wealth will be transferred out of the pockets of the public for a glorified plug in. #cdnpoli #canada

I’ve been saying this for a long time. Conservatism in Canada has become a movement focused on anger and grievance, not governance. Alberta’s UCP embodies this, and their federal cousins are sliding down the same hill.

Deirdre Mitchell-MacLean@womenofabpoli.ca

Canada’s conservative brand is on life support — not because it’s old, but because it’s changing. Grievance politics is now the heartbeat, and governance the departing spirit. My take on what that means. #cdnpoli #abpoli #bcpoli womenofabpoli.substack.com/p/the-conser...

If this looks familiar, it should - polling in Canada recently has shown CPC support retreating to the Prairies, which is where the old Reform/Alliance got stuck in the 90s. May "unite the right" fail even more spectacularly.

I am SO proud of my incredible office manager, Sunny, for so bravely speaking out about hate speech in Alberta!! Hate has no place in Alberta and we must continue to speak out and show support for those who are most vulnerable in our communities. #ableg #abpoli #stophateab #BetterIsPossible

I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you! Who could have predicted that this would happen? This was the point - make a tragic situation worse and then insist that forcing people into treatment is the only solution. It's not intended to do good, it's intended to enrich whoever owns treatment. #abpoli
