WOW! The Rath texts are real. Smith colluded with the separatists. Confirmed by Dani in the legislature today. And while she tried to spin them as just answering questions, she also makes it clear the texts weren't meant for Lukaszuk. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

BREAKING!!! At Nenshi's presser on the UCP's Gerrymandering, it came out that the Ethics Commissioner has had to suspend his investigation into ministers accepting elite hockey tickets... Because it overlaps with a CRIMINAL investigation!

Why are Albertans paying @DevinDVote $375,896 when he refused to tell media whether or not he voted for Canadian unity? Oh yes…he also spent time over 8 months campaigning for Donald Trump in the U.S.

Good lord. UCP MLAs just voted down an NDP motion to disclose how much taxpayers paid members of the electoral boundaries panel and its outside consultants and advisors. According to Kathleen Ganley, the panel chair receives an extra $5,000 a month on top of regular remuneration. The motion simply asked for transparency about how public money was spent. #ableg #abpoli

The UCP's report justifies gerrymandering by including equity for golf courses. No. For real. To graft parts of Springbank into Calgary, they cite golf courses. Because golf courses need representation more than voters. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

prairiesexposed.substack.com… This windfall funding for private schools while public education begs for adequate funding is a slap in the face, a punch in the stomach. Once again, the Danielle Smith UCP govt screams out its contempt for public education. #StopVotingUCP

Alberta added 763,481 people since spring 2019. That's +17.6%. Acute care hospital capacity? On the government's own counts? 520 more. That's +6.1%. Oct 24, the Premier? "We've expanded acute care capacity to the highest level in Alberta's history." A bigger number. A smaller share. Here's the Maths. In plain language. AHS: FROM THE BEGINNING, Part D
