Yesterday Treaty Chiefs made it clear…

They came to the Legislature to stand up for the Treaties and all Treaty people against the contempt that the UCP are showing towards all Treaty people.

(Which are all Albertans btw)

And they’re no one’s pawns.

There’s that then.

According to the β€œAlberta Prosperity Project” they & The Western Standard…

β€œShare a mission: a strong, sovereign, and independent Alberta.”

All whilst taking taxpayers money in the form of government advertising.

Unbiased independent media indeed.

Imagine a world where Americans were smarter and didn’t applaud when reactionary idiot Ronald Reagan made a show out of removing the solar panels Jimmy Carter had installed on the White House. We wouldn’t now have to worry about affording to fill gas tanks next month.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per weekβ€”and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

Let me remind you, Israel and the US attacked Iran, while the US pretending to negotiate.

Keith Gerein: As Edmonton drives toward economic development, the UCP’s tax grab throws up a roadblock Edmonton city council has set economic development as one of four strategic priorities, but an ugly Alberta budget will make the job tougher

Many Edmontonians have been rightly frustrated at city council’s hefty hikes to municipal property taxes in recent years, but keep in mind none of those increases hit the 10 per cent threshold, and the city also didn’t run massive deficits at the same time.
