Smith on why she's tightening access to the Alberta Seniors Benefit...
Can you guess?
You can guess...
It's the newcomers coming to Alberta to take advantage of our incredible social programs!

The UCP squandered Alberta’s near-record resource wealth and still produced a $9.4 -billion deficit—a failure of basic financial management.
Somehow, under some of strongest economic conditions in a generation, life is going to cost you more.

This is so true. But what can you expect after Harper let the Americans buy the Canadian media.
Why is the UCP Government running massive deficits despite record-breaking oil production?
I asked the Minister of Finance today why the UCP Government is unable to effectively manage the royalty rollercoaster, even when times are good.

Bahahahaha.
When Danielle Smith claimed 80% of federally picked judges had donated to Liberals, that was way higher than any figure I'd researched.
I dug into it. Could confidently write here:
"It is not true. The single media source Smith got that fact from has since corrected it."

Well this is...
Nightmare fuel.
The UCP just used AI to create what is supposed to be a soothing ad on forced treatment.
But like the policy itself, it comes off as completely soulless.

For those who were asking, here is the video of the talk that I delivered in Red Deer (in a snowstorm) last week to the Council of Canadians about Alberta Separatism.

No surprise that CBC found she may not have been truthful.

Rakhi is really fired up. Excellent press conference. Well worth the listen.
Danielle Smith believes she’s giving us a masterclass in distraction, but this reeks of desperation and Albertans will see right through it.

There is so much to unpack from Smith's TV address. It was a firehose of information. But one thing I need to emphasize. A referendum question to introduce an Alberta head tax on immigration!
Thank you, Michael for sharing what many of us feel.
If anyone is wondering, like I was…

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

"Democracy & justice in Alberta are being threatened. Alberta is being abused by its own government much the same way the United States of America is being abused by its current president."

Nate Pike, thank you for the summary of interviews with Jeff Rath, and US pundits, showing their methodical plan and White House meetings to dismantle Canada, transfer our natural resources and give Trump access to the Arctic. Trump’s treasonous mercenaries among us.

A fantastic piece by Senator Simons!
(I grinned widely at the mention of Robert Kroetsch.)
Paula Simons always has a wonderful way of writing. This is an excellent read.
Oh what I would give to be a fly on the wall of the communications meeting of the UCP this morning.
Will Smith praise the capture of Maduro but continue to wave her ‘clean, ethical Alberta crude’ under Trump’s nose even after he has stated that America will run Venezuela’s oil fields? 🤔
Thank you Charlie for taking action
