This is what is happening in Alberta. Our most vulnerable brothers and sisters are under attack by the UCP. Consider signing Bill 206. Please? The bullies can be stopped. Thank you on behalf of those without a voice.

Thank you for your kind words.
The author posted here their suggested title which was ignored and also said he had no choice in the photo. The newspaper spiced it up to anger people and unfortunately it did.
I simply quoted the paragraph with the rally info & posted my source of that info. My intention was not to upset people.
I'm very sorry for your loss. ❤️
As if I have that superpower? 🙄
All good.
An irritating headline not representative of the piece. The point of my post was to alert people to the rally tomorrow.
Me too! An agitating headline ... 😞
I'm sorry to hear. I wish you all the best.
An inflammatory headline and photo. The author's original suggestions were ignored to create this clickbait.
But the timely info is about the rally. Thanks!
It's an inflammatory photo not chosen by the author. Unrelated to the piece.
The author's original title was not accepted and someone stoked the fire with this one.
