Albertans just received a giant lump of coal before Christmas from the UCP government. Alberta's two energy ministers announced today that they want to increase coal mining in Alberta. This announcement gives us no economic benefit and a lot of environmental risk, a lot of pollution, a lot of challenges for our watershed, a lot of risks to our agricultural industry, and it just shows once again the UCP is a political movement that has no interest in actually being a government. Please email the premier, the two energy ministers, and copy my office at [email protected] #ableg

Cleaned house??? He stole public pensions and gave them to these people. They let them deplete and miss use the heritage fund. They’ve lost billions and billions for Albertans. And you’re writing a puff piece?

$152 for purchasing the mandatory preschool supplies for two kids. I am begging schools to let me give you the money, and you can even keep the gain from placing a bulk order instead of 20 families buying glue individually.

Pierre Poilievre is a national embarassment. Imagine trying to exploit the holocaust, let alone be called out by a holocaust educator for feigning ignorance in the process. Smdh #cdnpoli #NeverVoteConservative Nazis #HopeOverHate

We're taking out of country guests to Highwood Pass in KCountry tomorrow. To do that we need to renew our KCountry Pass. A reminder that, courtesy of @Alberta_UCP, I have to pay to enjoy the Highwood while offroaders get to trash McLean Creek for free. Photo credit @N88TE #ableg

2 points: 1)When I became a physician I agreed to abide by the professional standards of a regulatory agency (as did Dr Peterson). 2)A man who wants to become Prime Minister de-legitimizing a professional regulatory body AND the Supreme Court is the very embodiment of fascism

WHY is the Alberta government allowing THREATENED grizzly bears to be hunted if they are deemed a "problem"? The Wildlife Act was changed recently WITHOUT public consultation nor legislative review by Minister Todd Loewen.

Grizzly bears are a threatened species. Yet the UCP have just sneakily declared the grizzly bear hunt back on. MLA @ElmeligiSarah (an ACTUAL bear biologist) has been clear: killing grizzlies won’t reduce human-bear conflict. I’m angry and so are many of you. Let the UCP know.

And while we are reviewing curriculum that is not working for students and teachers, we need a serious overhaul and review of the most recent math K-6 curriculum. It is failing our students and needs to be addressed.

I think a Taylor Swift song best describes Davie “The smallest man who ever lived “ #EnoughisEnoughUCP #ableg
Davey “tap out shirt” Parker is doubling down on his threats towards school boards. And while it’s easy to make fun of his self proclaimed “MMA skills”, there’s no question he and his TBA friends are coming to reshape education in Alberta. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #abed

By God, I warned you. As you now witness the witless destruction of our healthcare system, the transition of the Bragg Creek forests into beautiful clear cuts, and the absolute destruction of the social contract with seniors… Ask yourself how much that tax cut was really worth. You know…. The one you didn’t get. You fucking morons.

#Ableg The UCP is BLOCKING $6,000,000,000 in funding for housing Tens of thousands of Alberta families are struggling; this could bail them out of homelessness and poverty. I’ll be as clear as possible: F*ck Danielle Smith F*ck the ENTIRE UCP This is an unethical disaster.
Replying to @TheBreakdownAB
Smith is declaring that Alberta will be prohibiting the federal government providing funding to municipalities via ne legislation. Smith says it's because Alberta pays more in taxes than we get back from the feds and federal programs are super bad, "like Pharmacare and dental care" (actual quote)

Education workers make an average salary of $34,000 a year. It's not a sustainable wage. It's not enough to raise kids. Angela is an educational worker from Lethbridge. In this video, she talks about how hard it is for her and her fellow workers. WagingAhead.ca

Can I choose to send my kids to Rundle, or is that Rundle's choice? Also, what is the average class size at Rundle? #abed #abpoli

It’s high time that Alberta stops the inequitable practice of topping up expensive private schools with valuable public dollars. Charter schools also need to pick a lane: they should be folded into public school boards or become fully private….
The UCP is deliberately starving our public, separate, and Francophone schools of resources in order to divert tax dollars to private schools and charter schools. This means longer drives and more overcrowded and complex classrooms for the majority of Alberta students and families. #abed 1/4

Packers asked a star player and beloved person in the locker room to take MASSIVE pay cuts in back-to-back years because of a cap/contract situation of their own creation Aaron Jones will get no hate or animosity from me
