The original native Albertans did not get to preserve their way of life.

Can we deport the traitors first and then see if that solves all of the problems?

Danielle Smith's former Chief of Staff personally oversaw the hiring of two family members of embattled healthcare MHCare CEO Sam Mraiche to government policy advisor roles#while#multiple contract scandals were unfolding.

I wish mainstream media would actually cover this stuff, but they're on the side of the of the far right MAGA/UCP style governments.

I keep an eye on the written news and they're not properly covering any of the crap the UCP is doing. downplaying everything or not mentioning it at all.

I mean, how can you argue that this isn't the best candidate for the job?


Spoiler!


A couple years in customer service and as an admin assistant, and then you're a policy advisor on "Energy ans (sic) Minerals"? Totally legit.

The breakdown always seems to be first , but CTV and CBC have been covering the ADAP fiasco.

What we need is for Nenshi not to be completely invisible.

I want to know how this isn't a cut to supports? How is this ment to work in rural area's like mine with clients that have mobility issues or blindness like mine or worse?

ANY Fascist scum and scum supporters care to explain how this isn't a #### show?
Inclusion Alberta has a background available for those wanting guidance when completing the ADAP survey

https://inclusionalberta.org/underst...e-adap-survey/

what grinds my gears: Albertans with disabilities have a even higher unemployment rate than Alberta Youth (20%). There is Zero initiative from Province to encourage employment Albertans with disabilities.

It seems the #UCP believe a simple, magic wave of the pen will change this

If you are referring to the Calgary Herald, National Post, or Calgary Sun, than ya, they are all owned by Postmedia. (Edmonton Journal and Edmonton Sun are also Postmedia)

Postmedia is American owned by a Republican hedge fund.

All of our local news outlets are not just foreign owned. They are owned by a hostile political group within a not so friendly country who is actively working to destabilize and "buy" our country.

Every Canadian should be boycotting Postmedia and demanding that our governments do something about American ownership of our news outlets and at the same time, start following & funding the few independent journalists who are trying to provide us with the truth (The Breakdown AB, Rachel Gilmore, etc.)

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre

This is the UCP, everything they are saying is in bad faith.

It's possible that Nenshi is invisible,

I'm also moderately hopeful that he understands it doesn't do him any good to rile the whole province up against Smith now. If you're lucky, you have the party push her out of power only to hold a leadership race, find someone new and run on a clean slate (see the Liberals this year or the Kenny UPC of 2022).

I'd say in the 12-6 month out window, you want to start pushing as hard as you can, create pressure, see if you can find any cracks on both wings of the party for decent to form, 26 months out isn't doing anything either the cracks will heal or the party has time to hit a reset button.

And I honestly don't think a great meme clip of Nenshi owning smith on the floor with create enough shame in her to do something good or responsible.

They recommended this blog in the article and it's the best breakdown so far. The author addresses everything with links to the data.
