Last night, Ric McIver moved Bill 20 to second reading. No amendments have as of yet been introduced, despite promises that they would be happening. This is how democracy is taken. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

UCP just decided to shut down debate on the legislation that blows up AHS before it even started. Entitlement and power grabs reach new levels every day in Danielle Smith’s UCP. #ableg

.⁦@ABDanielleSmith⁩ with a libertarian symbol tattooed on her arm, Danielle Smith argues for big government, crown corporations, and government owned and operated infrastructure and railways. She’s not conservative or libertarian. She’s lost. #ableg cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/d…

.@PierrePoilievre supporters, passionately opposed to “dictator” Trudeau, must really be shocked by the autocratic nature of Danielle Smith’s Bill 20. #ableg #cdnpoli
Breakenridge: No credible reason for Bill 20. Rather than amending it, UCP needs to withdraw it calgaryherald.com/opinion/co…

UCP - “Oh you don’t like Bill 20? Here’s what happens when you complain in Danielle Smith’s Alberta!” (More limiting municipal authority) #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Remember when there was a shortage of children’s pain medication and Danielle Smith’s government spent $80 million to import the medication from Turkey? We’ve now learned the UCP were warned the supply they ordered would arrive AFTER the regular supply would come and after the crisis had largely passed. It is possible to do things better. We can respond to crisis without panic spending, we can listen to experts, and we can build a more competent government. For Alberta. For all of us.

Yeah! Stop doing the job that the corrupt and uselss UCP should be doing! Hold the UCP accountable. #ableg
We don't need federal bribe money, especially when the strings attached will build less homes. We're committed to progress, not to adding more red tape and roadblocks.

Yup! Nothing says “welcome to Alberta” quite like rolling blackouts, the most expensive electrify rates in Canada, and blocking green initiatives. Alberta is NOT a destination of choice: it’s a warning.

A great example of journalism. Holding a politician’s feet to the fire. Perhaps demonstrating some insight into the issues contributing to growing addictions and worsening mental healthcare would console me.
1/ In this clip, part of a longer and superb interview by CBC Calgary's Rob Brown, Alberta's Minister of Mental Health and Addiction is repeatedly pressed on whether the Alberta Model—which the Minister claims is succeeding—is based on actual data or evidence. It is not. #ableg

Danielle Smith has mused about dealing with hospital overcrowding by sending patients to hotels. Wonder how this 62-year old semi-paralyzed wheelchair-bound stroke victim ended up in an inaccessible room at the Leduc Travelodge? #ABHealth #ABPoli cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/…

#Ableg Danielle Smith is secretly imposing her own controlled police force How much will this cost Albertans: - $366,000,000 MORE in transition costs - $170,000,000 LESS annual funding from the federal gov’t More than half a BILLION! How many schools could that build?
Replying to @Mitchell_AB
Not only are there no cost estimates, this was not in the budget that was introduced two weeks ago.

Remember how our Premier, #DenialSmith, claimed that renewable energy is more expensive and less reliable? Well, scientists at Stanford University just published a study showing how completely wrong she is. Have a look! 👇👇👇 thecooldown.com/green-busine…
