Unfortunately we are likely to get the Maple MAGA that is Mr. Poilievre. This country is on the same track as the US. Ignorance, misinformation, racism, misogyny, anti- science, climate change denial & outright lies & the people aren’t lapping it up. It’s going to get very dark.

“Rebel News applied in May 2021 to be designated as a qualified Canadian journalism organization, but was rejected by the Canada Revenue Agency, which found that less than one per cent of its content was original news.”
lol.

Hey, @ABDanielleSmith! You know how you recently told Albertans that our province has the strongest economy in the country? Well, it turns out you were wrong. Under the UCP, Alberta has had the slowest growth among all provinces. Canada isn’t broken, but it looks like Alberta is.
New analysis from @BMO Economics, reposted in @TheHubCanada, confirms BC had the strongest per capita real GDP growth of any province over the last 5 yrs: thehub.ca/2024/09/18/robert-…. Only 3 provinces had positive per capita growth in this time (BC highest). AB was worst. #bcpoli /2

As your former Progressive Conservative minister of education, I’ll tell you that there always were fringe, right wing PC caucus members who demanded funding for construction of private/religious schools. As ministers and premiers, we avoided it.
The fringe took over.

.@ABDanielleSmith Today’s school construction infomercial is a monumental policy shift on funding of private education.
Alberta government NEVER funded private/religious school construction. We only funded 70% of operating cost.
This is privatization of education.

My brother has stood up to bullies his whole life, and we all know bullies fold when someone stands up to them.
People forget he’s trained in MMA for years—he’s not afraid of these far-right cowards.
It’s time we all stand up to them.

The UCP (Premier/Mins/MLAs) have made it clear Calgary - they are not here for you! Are you surprised by their actions to blow up our healthcare system, starve public education of funding, attack the rights of trans youth or renege on funding the Green Line? I'm not. #ableg #yyc

An Edmonton family says they can't get their three kids into any school in their area, even their designated one — they've been told they're full: "This is ludicrous. I don't know who's to blame or what the issues are, but there's something wrong."

Our kids are headed back to school this week, but will they be set up for success?
With overcrowded classrooms and underfunded schools, Alberta’s students and educators deserve better. To all the parents, teachers, and support staff: we see you, and the @albertaNDP has your back.

Is the #UC giving more to Covenant Health a violation of the Canada Health Act? Why does Covenant Health exist?
Why aren’t there any doctors on its board?

My Granddaughter started grade 2 in a public school in SE Calgary. It is so over capacity that the library has been made into her classroom and there are 53 kids in this class, and now no library for any students. This is beyond unacceptable. #DanielleSmithFailingStudents #abpoli

Back-to-school with the UCP means math problems, class size problems, and funding problems.
Do you think Danielle Smith can solve them?
