I don't know if ABs should laugh or cry at this "satire"... it's so close to the truth it's almost hard to call it satire!!!

One part it is missing is a bottom row:

Anyway, waternotcoal.ca is out collecting signatures for the petition.

If you care about not having poisoned drinking water basically anywhere in Alberta, you need to sign this.

Gas tax breaks are bandaids at best. Real solution is to help low & middle-income Cdns get off fossil fuels. Invest in solar, heat pumps, batteries, EVs. Tackle barriers, offer real incentives & fund w/ windfall tax on Big Oil (who are laughing all the way to the bank). Cleaner, cheaper, healthier.

Smith talks about the separation question as if it’s her “plan a” & then clearly states tha if separation fails, she needs a mandate to push ahead with more autonomy.

Which is why she has her questions.

And throws a crack in about tabulators to boot!

The way she snuggles with her Albertans and bristles at the rest of us runs counter to her gracious election night speech where she promised to be the premier for all citizens of this province. I will never forget her willingness to abandon her own principles and cross the floor, just to gain power.

The waternotcoal.ca petition is still moving forward.

Education | United Conservative Caucus Tell Us What You Think:

Hey Alberta! 📣

We created a poll on Alberta’s education system and charter schools, but we wanted the results heavily biased, so we only sent it to UCP members.

If you’re NOT a UCP supporter, do NOT share this!

The math doesn't lie.

Danielle Smith spent $17 million on "Alberta is Calling" to recruit new residents. But spent $0 on the infrastructure to support them.

Now that the bills are due and the services are failing, she’s pointing the finger at the very people she invited.

Nice job. The coal mine settlements are a lot more than $80m. The two on which we have details (from Australian securities filings) are: Atrum $142.8 m and Montem/Evolve at $95 m for a total of $237.8 million. One other settlement still confidential and other claims pending.

“Premier Smith please justify how 2 years ago you asked Trudeau to send more immigrants and you spent tens of millions advertising around world… and now that they’ve come to Alberta and are working hard you say all the problems are their fault!” 🇨🇦

Funny that Premier Smith didn’t mention this letter she sent to PM Trudeau asking for increased immigration to Alberta OR that she didn’t mention the Alberta Is Calling campaign www.alberta.ca/system/files...

Two years ago, Premier Smith was quoted as wanting to double the Alberta population by 2050 (roughly growth of 200000 per year).

Trying to make sense of the premier’s announcements today in the context of some of the things she has trumpeted in the recent past.

In 2024, Danielle Smith wrote a letter to Justin Trudeau to complain that they didn't get *more* immigrants than their planned allotment. (She also wanted more Ukrainians specifically, and we all know why).
