Imagine a California where families and workers don't just survive, they flourish. That’s the roadmap. 

Better schools, housing that’s affordable, cleaner air, and a health care system that sees you as a human being first.

Let’s make it happen.

“Samson said she didn't see the break coming, but that she had no doubts that "something or someone" had pressured the UCP-appointed members to come up with a minority report.”

Alberta government moving to adopt daylight time year-round | CBC News The Alberta government wants to eliminate seasonal clock changes by adopting daylight time all year.

Albertans said no to this in a 2021 referendum. In Edmonton the sun won’t rise until 9:00 so kids coming to school won’t be able to play outside before school. The UCP says they believe in direct democracy but they ignore the results of the referendum! 😡🤬

Cheat! Smith and the UCP govt are trying to cheat in order to hold on to power. They are not governing for the majority of Albertans and all they care about is wielding power for their and their donors financial benefit. And if Smith has to support separation to hold on to power, she will do it!

This is nothing knew for the UCP. They continue to lie and cheat on a regular basis. We have to get active and pummel them with emails, phone calls and letters to all UCP and Alberta NDP members.

Especially with Elections Alberta clearly stating they would be unable to implement for the next election. It means that the UCP is both redrawing the maps to their benefit AND pushing it through in a manner which doesn’t allow proper oversight.

Very important, not only does the electoral map need to be fair and equitable but the voter and broader public must see it as such as well. It has to be both.

Danielle Smith claims that her new UCP majority boundaries commission will follow the recommendations of one person on the old commission…

But that begs a simple question…

Why did they give themselves the power to do whatever they want?

CleanUpYourMess.ca — Exposing Alberta's $60 billion aging well cleanup crisis Rural Albertans are being left to pay for oil companies' $60 billion cleanup bill. Share your story and help stop the Mature Asset Strategy.

Alberta! This is distressing information that you should be aware of! Write your MLA whether you live in rural or urban AB. The AB govt is not enforcing our polluter pay laws & land owners are being left to pay themselves. AB taxpayers shouldn’t be left on the hook for cleanup!

Is Alberta really ‘following the science’ on trans healthcare? As Alberta shields its ban on youth gender-affirming care from legal challenge, new research raises urgent questions about the real-world consequences of restricting access.

No Danielle Smith doesn’t follow science. She needs to keep her uninformed right-wing Christian base voting for her. She will hurt kids to stay in power.
