2/6 The 80% figure is completely false.
Smith cited a newspaper column that has since been corrected. The actual national figure is that only 14% of federal appointees gave to the Liberal party before being selected.
In Alberta, that number sits at 22% since 2015.
1/6 🇨🇦 FACT-CHECKING SMITH'S JUDICIAL CLAIMS 🇨🇦
#DanielleSmith claimed 80% of federal judges are Liberal donors to justify provincial control of appointments.

The Police had removed the guns from the home, but "Gun Rights" got them back in.
I'm sure they said they needed them for protection.

2) what an amazing response from a community that is hurting and would be well in their rights to be angry.
Great graphic showing cities on a triangle graph showing if they are most oriented to public transit, active mobility or cars.
Have you seen this? This recent study of mode share (the % share of transportation trips that are by car, transit, walking, biking etc) relative to city size and income levels in almost 800 cities in 61 countries. Interesting results. HT @davidzipper.bsky.social

I have a mailing list and I actually sent out an issue today. Here’s the link if you want to see what’s up: eepurl.com/jpDQjA
“For 20 years, Pierre Poilievre has voted against initiatives to make housing more affordable and address Canada’s housing crisis. Some of his top donors are real estate investors. He claims to be a champion of the working class — but really he’s corporate landlords’ best friend.”
It’s time to have an honest discussion about critical thinking.
The less educated you are, the more likely you are to vote Conservative.

1/6 🇨🇦 ⚠️ WAKE THE HELL UP -- THE UCP IS A SEPARATIST PARTY! ⚠️ 🇨🇦
David Climenhaga warns that while the UCP plays coy, their actions scream separatism.
A plan to vote on separation *after* a referendum is part of the deception.

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"
