Just Laura @laura-spinner.bsky.social · 16/11/2025If a teacher did that about a parent or student, they’d be lynched, and likely fired in this day and age (especially post NWC implementation). Yes, teachers are held to a higher standard, but if that’s the case, why aren’t politicians as well? 0130 0
Just Laura @laura-spinner.bsky.social · 16/11/2025For someone who was elected to represent the people in her riding, she sure has a lot of disregard toward people who are voting for her. I can’t imagine me (I love my job) referring to people I work with the same way. I can’t imagine hubby (who deals with more challenging people) doing it either. 021 0
Just Laura @laura-spinner.bsky.social · 11/11/2025Can someone explain the Policy Resolutions the UCP is putting forward? Are these what the UCP will be trying to pass as law BEFORE the next election? Something else? #ableg #abpoli #WasntEverGoodAtSocialStudies 010 0
Reposted by Just LauraJamie @jamieb1000.bsky.social · 09/11/2025The resolution book is out for the upcoming UCP convention — and even after it has become abundantly clear that the VAST majority of Albertans oppose the idea, the UCP base is still pushing to pull our province out of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). #abpoli #ableg #Alberta #CPP #FireTheUCP #FireSmith 0108 0
Just Laura @laura-spinner.bsky.social · 01/11/2025Number of results the UCP release willingly: Whatever benefits them greatly. Number of results that require legal challenges: Almost everything they put their slimy hands on. Transparency is non-existent for the UCP. 030 0
Just Laura @laura-spinner.bsky.social · 31/10/2025When the people you ask for advice are only there to confirm your ideas, you get Danielle Smith and the UCP. Too bad the UCP didn’t ask the majority of Albertans if we wanted to rescind our coal policies. Pretty sure DS asked only the people who would financially benefit. 021 0

Just Laura @laura-spinner.bsky.social · 20/09/2025One of the consequences of municipal “parties?” Or maybe enough for municipal councils to shut down this idiotic (and frankly, entirely unwanted) “pilot project.” The UCP aren’t worried about losing their seats because of voters’ deep habits, so they don’t care what Albertans they run over. 000 0

Just Laura @laura-spinner.bsky.social · 31/08/2025I pointed out to someone that by living in Alberta, if they did the same job in another province, for the exact same pay, they’re paying LESS in taxes in Alberta than they would anywhere else. The UCP words it as though we’re paying more individually, and that’s only true if we’re making more. 020 0

Just Laura @laura-spinner.bsky.social · 26/07/2025It blows my mind that that a large number of Albertans think that they pay more in taxes than the average person elsewhere in Canada.
