Ok, so what special powers were the NDP going to give them?

As someone who claims to support people being able to do as they please including organizing I’d be interested to hear your take on the steps the UCP have already taken to make that as difficult for people as possible compared to other provinces.

Are you aware of what the repercussions are for doing so in this province? We’re basically already there.

Do you know what the penalties for breaking those laws are?

On a completely unrelated matter, if the penalty for breaking into people’s houses were for the judge to waive their finger at the convicted and say don’t do that again or I’ll repeat this exact same punishment, do you think that would effectively deter burglars? If not, why do you believe it would effectively deter people from breaking other laws?

Though Smith is regrettably the Premier, I am at least thankful that the UCP sycophants have mostly been ejected from Calgary.

The only equalization issue with Quebec is the way the Feds allow them to count, or to be accurate don't count hydro sold in Quebec at market rates.

Wow, that’s a total middle finger to Edmonton! The next morning too. I know you didn’t vote for these guys but you are getting them anyway. Is there any precedent like this? It’s insanely petty.

I have been offered positions in the United States as well as in Nova Scotia and British Columbia. Family keeps me here. Not the system, not the money and not the overwhelming feeling of dread associated with this government.

Meh. If Edmonton would have voted in some UCP they would have some representation in the government. Danielle did it for them!

I jest.

One day in and she’s already back on the Alberta Police Force plan that she didn’t want to talk about during the election. Cool.

Her face and voice are so annoying. Just embarrassing on every level.

Release the gators on them.
