What's the main barrier to getting rid of FPTP?
"It's kept in place because it serves the political interests who benefit from it, and that's really secret in the sauce" -Professor Denis Pilon
"the majestic and subversive power of independent lo-fi outsider folk art, combined with a desire for a citizens' assembly, is a powerful and successful one-two punch of community-driven expression and freedom of action."

Given the reality that Danielle Smith’s UCP very heavily panders to a very particular group of malinformed - often bigoted and easily fooled - within the so-called "Conservative Movement", it is easy to conclude that these *book bans* will end up including...

Regardless of the examples given, and recognizing that Alberta’s Conservative politicians operate like the GoP on dial-up...
It is IMPERATIVE that Albertans take part in the survey being conducted on the Your Alberta website (Link in description and Story).

I spent the first half of my life LIVING in Battle River-Crowfoot, and just yesterday - I crossed the Battle River near Forestburg on my home from Wainwright.
Despite living in Red Deer, I spend more time in the BRCF riding - in one month - than Pierre would spend in 4 years as their potential MLA

This UCP government has verifiably flushed millions down the toilet.
Today, more and more evidence is surfacing that suggests the "fiscally conservative right" flushes billions of Alberta taxpayer dollars down the toilet.
"...but...but...socialisms is bad"🥴
#FireTheUCP
Dear Average #Alberta #conservative voter,
Genuine question, in the interest of a common good:
Why are you choosing to ignore this "CorruptCare" scandal? Would you let it slide if it was the NDP in charge?
Truly. With all the evidence alluding to criminal corruption. Why choose to let it slide?
Share with your beer buddies. Share with your bud buddies.
Write your governor buddies!
Write your state senate buddies!
Write your Indigenous buddies!
(The "higher taxes" that cons sap on about actually works out in the wash with all the democratic socialisms. Promise.😉)

Health care should be focused on patients… not shareholders and UCP insiders. It’s clear that Adriana LaGrange and Danielle Smith care more about Corrupt Care than Public Health Care. Albertans deserve ethical competent government.

SIGN OUR PETITION ✍️ ⬇️
Danielle Smith needs to fire Adriana LaGrange NOW.
www.albertasfuture.ca/take-action/...
📃🖊 Done! As a resident of Red Deer North, it is beyond time. Lagrange has got to go.
The allegations contained in former Alberta Health Services CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos’ statement of claim are absolutely shocking.
If these claims are true, this is the worst scandal and biggest cover-up in Alberta’s history.
Today, the Premier must fire the Health Minister. /1 🧵
I'll be there. Will you?
Lagrange has got to go. If the UCP slips out of this one, it'll give them express permission to take their corruption deeper.
#abpoli #firetheucp #pushback #protectpublichealthcare #recallthemall
Just noticing the typo...
Even if I could edit the text, I wouldn't. Lagrange *is* "A drain" on public healthcare, just as she was on public education. #firelagrange
There are new allegations that the Minister of Health, Adriana LaGrange, was involved in dictating the price that AHS was to pay for multi-million-dollar contracts and ordered AHS to shut down and cover up its internal investigations. 🔽🧵
www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...
Given the implications that Adraina Lagrange played a major role in these potentially damning allegations - it's time to dust off this petition.
Lagrange has gotta go!

Danielle Smith's government allegedly fired the AHS CEO and the Board after they started looking into the legality of contracts for private surgeries that could enrich companies with strong ties to the UCP government and staff.
They did all of this with YOUR tax dollars.
The 'C' in UCP stands for 'CORRUPT".
Follow the trail off stink.
This recent healthcare procurement scandal lands on Red Deer North MLA/Health Minister Adriana Lagrange, and this lands on Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.
Recall them all.
#FireTheUCP #corruptgovernment #enoughisenough
Paywalls be damned, this story needs to get out - big time.
*Allegedly*, the latest in the UCP's circular hiring/firing spree of public health execs was on the trail of some shady UCP/private sector dealings - possibly including the wealth-hoarder behind the Skybox/Turkish Tylenot scandals.
