There are also more public school projects scheduled to come out.

I cannot speak to the quality of education being delivered in the schools themselves, but I do know that there are quite a bit of public schools being built/renovated across the province at this moment.

Tied to population growth, yes, as every kid needs to have a spot in a school. The issue is what is being taught, what is being taken out of schools, the destruction of a good teacher base and the calculated dumbing down of our population.

Just shows that you can be an absolute trash human, and a complete moron and lead a pretty successful life.

What a garbage timeline.

Is it election interference when you lobby a foreign govt to assist in getting your preferred candidate elected?

Imagine the outrage if she was lobbying China that way?

Imagine the outrage if literally anyone left of centre did this(and it was said to Obama or something)? But for the right being morally bankrupt is a feature you cheer for. It doesn't matter how illegal or corrupt something is if you get a win.

This basically solidifies even further than PP = Trump.

Are we sure she's not trying to sabotage PP? She can't be that stupid to think aligning with Trump is actually good right now, right? Right?

Or she's an absolute dumb #### on a power trip.

Well, she’s trying to plant the seeds for a referendum in Alberta about sovereignty, so I suppose once you start saying things like that, I can’t be surprised.

To me, all she’s doing is desperately trying to fan these flames to distract from the ever growing AHS scandal.

How is this not treason?

I’m surprised it’s taking this long to break. The interview is published on the eighth.

Because it’s about politics, not national security. Not a very thick line, but a line.

It’s absolutely election interference though, and I don’t know the legal ramifications of that

I would love someone to call her out on AB51 and tell her to put it on the table or shut up.

Or she wants carney to win because anti-liberal keeps her with a boogeyman to fight.

Who's interviewing her? The loud mouth breathing was absolutly disgusting. I couldn't even focus on Smith's words, just the dudes insane breathing.

She is not playing 4D chess here. PP wins and she gets to be a governor, just what she wants.

Which is exactly why I explicitly clarified I cannot speak to the quality of education being delivered, as that is another matter.

Not when the government picks up the tab for your trip to Mar-a-lago.

Calgary - Centre and Calgary - Confederation are two seats up for the taking according to the polls. Get involved and volunteer your time for the LPC. Doorknocking is effective and can be enjoyable when you set your mind to it.

Your going with she’s a moron? I suppose Hanlons razed applies

Certainly possible but she did position herself well for the take down of Kenny. Perhaps too much time in the griftosphere has made her disconnected from the real world.

She isn’t the brains of the organization, she’s the presenter

As futile as it is, has anyone emailed their MLA (and ministers) about recent UCP corrupt and traitorous behaviour? As fruitless as the results are (Mike Ellis only has an assistant confirm my postal code then proceeds to never answer, even if it's a yes/no question), I feel the need to send some emails...
