Begging news outlets, especially @globalnews.ca, to refuse to report Alberta government propaganda around drug death rates without context.
1. Alberta's capital Edmonton is breaking fatality records. Report that first.
2. Lethbridge is the 4th biggest city in the province. It still has...
Moving a public health crisis elsewhere isn't solving it. And neither is doing nothing about the most immediate root cause (unregulated drugs) while waiting for the next wave to hit.
This is Bush's "mission accomplished" but the Alberta govt does it about every 3 months.
Thousands of Alberta seniors to lose income supplement as province faces rising provincial deficit
Of course they are! When the going gets rough, Alberta's vulnerable populations pay the price so Disaster Dani's rich Oil & Gas buddies don't have to fairly share in any government austerity measures.
On the left, looking at the camera is Dennis Modry, Co-Founder of the Alberta Prosperity (Separatist) project. On the right, arms crossed is the CEO of the Alberta Prosperity (Separatist) Project. Sitting between them, with a large smile on her face is AB Premier Danielle Smith.
That's why she gave EXTRA time to collect FEWER separatist signatures, compared to the time & numbers required for the "ForeverCanadian" referendum signatures required?🤦
It's why she was pal-ing around with Co-Founder/CEOs of the Alberta Prosperity (Separatist) Project <s>

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
Anyone find it interesting that not so many weeks ago, President Orange Shits Himself was implying that NATO Allies that supported the US in Afghanistan “weren’t on the front lines” is now crying that we aren’t running to his aid in yet another US illegitimate war? 🤔 Anyone?
“…It’s that Trump is a really bad candidate and, quite frankly, a really bad person,” — Vice President JD Vance
Spain’s Foreign Minister Albares, calls out Karoline Leavitt on her lie that Spain had agreed to cooperate with the US in its illegal war:
“She may be the White House spokesperson, but I am Spain’s Foreign Minister, and I can assure you that our position remains unchanged.”
Seems like the US will do anything and everything it can to avoid electing women of colour. Even to its own detriment. And somehow women like Noam are elected. It’s hard to fathom.

You are exactly right! She’s about as competent and believable as her heroes Trump and Noam.
Sadly true. Sask also had physical and mental health systems among the best in the world. Then conservatives were elected and began meddling and privatizing. The system began to implode. The cons call that evidence public health systems don’t work and use it to justify even more undermining.
It’s terrible that US military personnel were killed. But US lives aren’t the only ones that matter. Over 150 Iranian children died too. Any of us that only decry the deaths of our own are as bad as the orange pedo president, the entire Trump crime family and their counterparts around the world.
My question
At what point do the Alberta separatists cross the line to be traitors?
IMO, they crossed that line when they negotiated with the Trump regime
They are not working to make Alberta a separate country
They are working to have Alberta overtaken by the US
It's TREASON

Wtf? Is she saying foreign citizens are voting in our elections? Does she not understand what foreign interference is or is she just ignoring the fact that the separatists have been going down south to beg for help?
#abpoli
When will Canadians ever be rid of this anti-Canadian grifter family? If Brian Mulroney hadn’t sold out our country in the 80’s we wouldn’t be suffering like we are now. John Turner was right about free trade.
“Alberta's flu season deadliest in recent memory…

The UCP sharply limited access to vaccines. They own this.

Scott Moe’s fingerprints are all over this. It’s heartbreaking to see how Saskatchewan has changed under conservative governments.
As always, gambling makes a few people rich, many others become addicted and tax payers fund the costs of programs and services that are supposed to help them.

Elbows Up Higher.
Time to boycott US services.
Cancel Netflix.
Don't use Amazon.
Uninstall Microsoft from your computer.

Replace Google with Ecosia.
Boycott all US services. Now.

The math doesn't lie.
Danielle Smith spent $17 million on "Alberta is Calling" to recruit new residents. But spent $0 on the infrastructure to support them.
Now that the bills are due and the services are failing, she’s pointing the finger at the very people she invited.

While in Europe, I had more than 15 media interviews on major networks about my book.
Sadly, all discussions eventually migrated to Alberta separatism. Canada is held in very high regard and they can’t imagine why anyone would intentionally weaken Canada.🇨🇦

Gil McGowan Hopes Ordinary Albertans Will Protest Smith's Attack on Democracy, Cost of Living
Energi Media's audience is critical of Smith/the UCP. With good reason, according to my expert interviews.

I’m guessing Albertans are about to discover a $9-billion deficit... caused by corruption and mismanagement, but it’s much easier to preempt the discovery by scapegoating immigrants. #cdnpoli
Wherein Smith claims that "newcomers" are costing the province $9 Billion in social programs.
In order for that to be true, every single newcomer would have to be accessing social programs that many don't even have access to.
These are evil misrepresentations.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez challenges systems designed to exclude us. She refuses to shrink, soften or apologize.
When women stand firm, power trembles!
When one woman speaks boldly, millions feel less alone.
That’s not noise!
That’s leadership!
