I wanted to comment on the online targeting of a Canadian Cadet ceremony by Pete Hegseth! It involved a photo which he purposefully, with forethought of malice intent, drew attention to! His intent was to shame, mock, and denigrate a non combat Officer and youth in the program! 1/7

What was the US demanding? Control over our trade deals with other countries. But while demanding increased “sovereignty” for Alberta in Canada, Danielle Smith and the UCP would have had us stay at the table for that? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

How badly has #misinformation been normalized? An increasing % of people believe the unhinged idea that the COVID vaccine killed more than COVID. 27% think true‼️ ONLY 39% know definitely false‼️ Reality: COVID killed > 7 million. Vaccine saved millions & severe adverse reaction extremely rare.

The real issue we are seeing played out daily is that Dani “believes” she knows better than everyone at all times. That’s why, having received the confidence of a small majority of voters in Alberta, she feels entitled to “Rule”as she sees fit. All rise for Queen Dani 👸 - resistance is futile.

First they came for the trans people. Then they came for the unionized workers. Next it was judges. Now it's immigrants. If you think that you or someone you love won't be next, you're sorely mistaken.
UCP voter, NDP voter, pro environment, pro business, rich or poor - these things don't matter.
What matters is that we have the moral strength to call out this vile divisive tactic by this premier.
Our schools are not struggling because there are too many English language learners. Our schools are struggling because the UCP funds education at the lowest rate in Canada. Yet if even one in ten Albertans buys into Smith's tactic of blaming each-other, my heart hurts at the prospect of a child being sent into school holding this kind of hate for their schoolmates.
Danielle Smith and her government are responsible for a litany of failures in healthcare, education, and the economy. The Premier is sowing hate and division to distract from the fact that her government is the real culprit. Albertans should not be fooled by this cowardly strategy.
There is only one vote I want. It's called an election. Then we can rid our province of the worst premier and the worst government in the historv of Alberta.

Just my opinion The difference between a UCP deficit and an NDP deficit is that with the NDP the money would've been spent on healthcare, education and making life better for Albertans With the UCP the money went on their friends and donors leaving Albertan worse off in every way #ableg #abpoli
