Four former deans of medicine in Alberta have joined a growing chorus of critics asking Ottawa to intervene in the province’s dual-practice health care model, which allows eligible doctors to toggle between the public and private systems. #ableg #abpoli @theglobeandmail.com

ICYMI, #DanielleSmith & her endless treachery & lying, has ratcheted up grotesque levels of manipulation. In addition to crocodile tears, she repeats lies. #ForeverCanada petition DID NOT “ask for a vote”. The petition asked that the insanity of #AlbertaSeparation be stopped in its treasonous tracks

Daniel Smith is a flat out baldfaced liar. Her 'vision' for Alberta is truly dystopian and disturbing, based on a racist white nationalist playbook wholly adopted from MAGA JesusLand USA. It is FLAT OUT anti-Canadian. AND every bit as repulsive as the moron AB separatist movement, if not worse.

Every Canadian, especially every Albertan, needs to see this. Danielle Smith is a MAGA operative, not a loyal Canadian. Not even a loyal Albertan. This is bordering on treason. #cdnpoli #ableg

New ads just dropped - There’s a poll out tomorrow via CBC that apparently shows the UCP down. That’s because Danielle Smith’s catering to separatists is unpopular, and the closer we get to Oct 19, the more people are (rightfully) blaming her for this debacle. No to the Nine.

Ottawa says they don't want a fight with Alberta but you're in one so fight it. The argument is that just gives Smith what she wants but her popularity is tanking here and laying out her crimes and corruption for federal investigation would go a lot further than talking about "real grievances".

Yup. Hard agree. The feds will not lose support by pushing back on behalf of all of us. The vast majority of Albertans would welcome it. We are exhausted from fighting this corruption and we need help. Not sure? Ask Ed Sheeran how staying neutral on obvious blatant fuckery worked out for him.

She could use a few extra calls. #abpoli
Bright yellow political flyer featuring a vintage yellow rotary telephone on the right with its handset lifted and black coiled cord extending across the lower portion. On the left, large black text reads “Make the call.” Beneath it, smaller text reads “Ask the premier to cancel the referendum.” The flyer prominently displays “780-427-2251,” followed by “Premier’s Office” and “Toll free: 310-0000.” The clean, minimalist design uses black typography against a bright yellow background, with the telephone providing the main visual element.
