Translating Alberta's Referenda Questions #9:

Currently, Alberta has to abide by Canadian laws. Should provinces be able to ignore Canadian laws and actively seek to do that?

Translating AB Referenda Q4:

Knowing immigrants working legally in Alberta typically pay into your pension & pay AB taxes, and that permanent residency can take decades to get, do you think immigrants should be forced to pay for healthcare and education for themselves and their families? #abpoli

Translating Alberta's Referendum Q3

Assuming you realize that immigrants working legally in Alberta typically pay into your pension and pay provincial taxes, do you support stripping them of access to any provincial social support programs for the first 12 months they live in Alberta? #abpoli

Should the UCP intrude into federal responsibilities & control migrant entries across provincial borders, decree what jobs migrants are allowed to have and even then allow them to be bumped out of any jobs that arise by Canadians residing in Alberta?

Heated Rivalry 🏒 🇨🇦

Dammit, we are still losing that one!!

"If that's not a highlight reel goal I don't know what is"
Minnesota's Abbey Murphy beats her defender with a lacrosse move, then slides it over for Bella Fanale to score

And as a follow up, another therapist starts to just offer a new kind of “sports psychology” but it’s just for traumatized fans

I’d like to see a sketch bit where a guy goes to therapy but all he wants to talk about is the problems with his favourite sports team

There are really good make up artists these days and this is the best they can do for a cover up

This is a deep cut

How does this help anyone? How is this solving a problem at all? The “health card misuse” seems like a made up excuse with zero data or justification to back it up.

Keeping up with the UCP government's democratic transgressions can be difficult.

But not impossible.

Here’s a running list since Danielle Smith became premier. 🧵👇

Not even hiding the blatant entitlement anymore.

The Premier's Office continues to remove all checks and balances on its power.

The courts, the legislature, the Auditor General, independent agencies, the federal government, voters and candidates they don't like...

This is getting ridiculous.

Welp, the Jays got me interested in baseball. What a fun run. I hate it.

I'm the next few days, it would be a mistake to:
❌️ limit the resistance to the teachers' demands or saving public education
❌️ make labour/workers/unions the only faces of opposition

The UCP's pre-emptive use of the notwithstanding clause is much broader than one strike or one set of rights.

"Oh yeah? You like baseball? What if I make you smoke *an entire pack* of baseball?"

Coward.

A “moral imperative” coming from this lot is absolutely infuriating. None of them have a single moral bone in their bodies. It’s not “moral” to take away people’s rights

Let's be clear about what happened today.

Premier Smith introduced a bill to strip Albertans of Charter rights,

denied MLAs the opportunity to debate it and the courts the ability to scrutinize it,

and did all of this from her seat on a jet to Saudi Arabia.

Alberta Strong and Free, Notwithstanding The UCP's Bill 2 skirts the legislature and the courts, leaving it up to the public to push back swiftly

The UCP government has invoked time allocation and on a bill removing Albertans' Charter rights.

And they're using the notwithstanding clause to do it.

Here's why that is a dangerous precedent. And why real conservatives need to stand up against it.

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them.

This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people ..

$12.5M x 2 might be the most “I want to win more than anything else” contract I’ve ever seen in the NHL.

That’s awesome to hear. Cool when teams will do that for a player.

Really weird. It’s not like he’s a bad goalie to keep in the system. Maybe just giving him an opportunity to throw him a bone?
