Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 27/05/2025I thought the King would challenge Donald Trump to a sword fight for control of Canada in today’s throne speech. Disappointed again! 010
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 27/05/2025King Charles III opens the new Parliament with the speech from the throne this morning. Here’s the last time the monarch opened Canada’s parliament: 010
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Alberta measles cases continue to grow. Most cases are in the south and most cases are unvaccinated people. 10% have been hospitalized. Fortunately no one has died yet, but if this epidemic isn’t controlled someone will likely die soon. 3249
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Ten years ago today I was first elected as the MLA for Edmonton Gold Bar. Thank you for trusting me to be your voice in Alberta’s Legislature. 031
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 06/04/2025I’m sure this won’t be another way for the UCP to funnel money to their friends like Sam Mraiche, right? 030
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 31/03/2025Today is Trans Visibility Day! Since last year, the UCP has outlawed doctors from providing gender affirming care, banned students from choosing their own pronouns, and made it illegal for trans gender athletes to compete in sports. Trans people have the right to exist! 0218
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 25/03/2025If the UCP truly believed in merit, terrible MLAs like Grant Hunter would get paid what they deserve - zero. 191
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 05/03/2025ICYMI, Danielle Smith appointed Raymond Wyant to “investigate” the CorruptCare scandal. He can only look into the matters that she allows him to, reviewing only the evidence that she gives him. We need a public inquiry, led by a judge who can investigate what he wants and compel any evidence. 095
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 26/02/2025Mike Ellis appointed Sam Mraiche’s business partner to the Edmonton Police Commission. In the movies, the gangsters just bribe the cops. In Alberta they take over the police commission. So now it’s the Premier, Health, Infrastructure and Public Safety waist deep in corruption. 2248
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 22/02/2025Schmidt Creek, northwest of Fort McMurray. If you’re planning to travel up Schmidt Creek, bring a paddle! 040
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 18/02/2025Danielle Smith told a caller to her radio program that she’s watching the sale of raw milk in the US “with interest”. You know what goes into raw milk? Cow shit. Danielle Smith cannot be trusted to protect your health. 121
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Pete Guthrie (pictured) wants Adriana Lagrange fired. If this clown is embarrassed by Lagrange, imagine what normal Albertans are thinking. 060
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 15/02/2025Tired: defending Canada by wrapping yourself in the flag. Wired: defending Canada by going completely metric. Cook in Celsius! Weigh yourself in kilograms! Measure your farm in hectares! 031
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Desperate to change the channel from the CorruptCare scandal, Danielle Smith will be announcing the Sam Mraiche High School and MHCare Academy tomorrow. 2155
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 08/02/2025Hey southern Alberta. Got questions about coal or AHS contracts? Heres a chance to ask a UCP MLA about it IN PERSON this Thursday. Use it! 041
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 02/02/2025That’s right, woodchuck chuckers, it’s GROUNDHOG DAY! Wiarton Willie predicts an early spring. 010
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Wow! Jasper showed up today to demand the UCP build houses! This is what people power looks like. 011
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 10/01/2025When the incoming President of the United States has declared his intent to take over Canada, the Alberta government should NOT be championing unity with the US. Does Danielle Smith believe Canada should become a part of the US? 121
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 09/01/2025This morning the UCP voted to give themselves pay raises and golden parachutes. They look after themselves while doing nothing to make your life more affordable. 000
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 29/12/2024I met President Carter in 2017 when he was in Edmonton for Habitat for Humanity. I spoke briefly to him - he talked about his deep sea fishing trip in Alaska and expressed surprise that Edmonton was surrounded by so much agriculture. Thank you for everything, Mr President! 040
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 19/12/2024Congratulations Rob Miyashiro on your decisive victory in Lethbridge West yesterday. Also - second highest by election turnout in Alberta history! 💥 030
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 17/12/2024I’d say that humility is my most outstanding trait. 020
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 17/12/2024Why did Danielle Smith’s chief of staff spend $3,000 on “challenge coins”?! WTF is a challenge coin? What was the challenge - who could waste the most money? And why did this money come from Public Safety? That’s not Smith’s department… 011
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 16/12/2024When the UCP created the student minimum wage, they said it would increase employment for young people. 2 things actually happened: 1) young people got screwed 2) their employers made bank. What DIDNT happen is an increase to youth employment. 010

Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Buying gift cards at Anvil Coffee House. 10% goes to Boyle Street! Support a great local business and a great charity at the same time! 020
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Not my best work, but improv be like that sometimes. 020
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 07/12/2024“There’s a sucker born every minute” - PT Barnum, predicting Danielle Smith’s time as Premier of Alberta. 0126
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 06/12/2024Why are young people so angry and moving right? Because they can’t find work! The UCP is happy to let this continue as long as they can channel the rage to their enemies. 011
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 06/12/2024Here’s how unemployment has trended since Danielle Smith became Premier. Killing jobs is something she excels at. 032
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 06/12/2024Thanks to the UCP, Alberta’s unemployment rate is 7.5%. Edmonton and Calgary are even worse, at 8% 222
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 04/12/2024This bill will: 1) sell off Alberta’s parks 2) give Alberta’s lands to the UCP’s friends, and 3) create wealth for foreign investors while shutting Albertans out of their own backyard. 021
Marlin Schmidt @marlinschmidt.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Wawanesa insurance made $100 million in profit on car insurance last year. The UCP is going to let them charge you almost 10% more in January! Blessed are the insurers, for they shall inherit your hard earned money. 140
