“A responsible government requires independent democratic oversight and a transparent legislative process. The UCP has obstructed and failed to meet these basic requirements to govern,” reads a news release from the Assembly of Treaty Chiefs.

This is so gross.
They are literally running with “we have always been at war with Eurasia.” Unreal.
One thing that has become obvious after budget day: govt finally has to admit how much they have BLOATED the HC admin!
Looks like it took AHS from about 3.5% admin costs to 6.7% admin costs (or more)!!!
That's INSANE!
(we still don't know the AHS BLOW-UP costs yet)

this is what they said it would be like under socialism
A graphic showing a list of costs to Alberta taxpayers which total $10 billion wasted.
There's a lot of talk in Alberta about the latest budget.
Here's a short (and incomplete) list of why the UCP budget for 2025-26 is forecasting a multi-year deficit which has nothing to do with Ottawa nor immigrants.

"We will not sit back and watch as this government lays out the welcome mat for making Alberta the 51st State in breach of our Treaties."
Mikisew Cree First Nation has filed a lawsuit for Danielle Smith’s flagrant disregard for Treaties.

Hi #ableg - just wondering, is the UCP gonna tell us what they did with all of OUR money or nah?

To be very clear: Minister LaGrange must not even know what Minister Jones is doing... because there has been NO "working very closely with AMA" on the TLP role. Minister Jones has not met with the AMA or with Emerg docs... NOTHING has happened by govt.
Imagine having SIX times the resource revenue and still ending up with a larger deficit than when Alberta's New Democrats were in power.
How embarrassing.
Charles Adler (paraphrased): in 1992, Alberta had 11,700 hospital beds. Today with nearly double the population and an older demographic, it has 8800. This is not an ottawa or immigration problem.”
Do the real math, people.
The problem is Danielle Smith’s UCP mismanaging Alberta’s finances.
Not immigrants.
Not Ottawa.

One thing is becoming very clear: the Premier CANNOT be trusted on HC.
If anything she said was true she'd have held a Public Inquiry by now.
It should concern all Albertans, including life-long conservatives, that our Premier cannot be trusted.

The Premier wants us to fight over who is the "right" immigrant, or who deserves to be here...
While she has done NOTHING... ZERO... NADA... to address the ongoing crisis in HC.
She can't even be bothered to have her Ministers (not even 1 of them) meet with Emerg leads...

Premier Danielle Smith said she doesn't know how much newcomers cost Alberta’s health care and education systems, despite scheduling a referendum to ask whether social services to those residents shd be limited b/c of cost

"As she tries to save her own political skin, she should be more concerned about the future of the province."
Pancholi claims that Premier Smith is persuing the referendum questions primarily as a means to stave of seperatist forces and keep her job.
I hate it here. #albertapolitics
Huge irony in the medication being destroyed at the Swan Hills Waste Treatment Plant. It's a Klein-era white elephant that has cost Alberta taxpayers at least $1.6B and counting. Yet, many Albertas continue to believe conservative govts are better financial managers than any alternative party
Hey Alberta remember when the NDP faced budget challenges due to oil prices but still cut child poverty in half and kept building Calgary’s cancer centre at the Foothills? Not made a mess of lab services, suspended the Charter rights of teachers and had to dispose of milllions in off brand Tylenol.
I'm am Albertan. A solution to the Alberta separatists. Move to Texas. They have oil and farms and jobs - you'll feel right at home. If you don't want to be in Canada. Canada doesn't want you. Oh and take Smith with you. #abpoli

Can someone explain to me how it is remotely fair that 51% is the threshold for something as dire as a province separating from Canada? Shouldn't it require some sort of definitive majority? Seems ridiculous that a fraction over half could screw over the other half like that. #alberta
Dear university administrators, politicians of good will, and the general public, we need the field of religious studies more now than we have ever.
Your turn, @mark-carney.bsky.social.
NEW: This week on Whatever This Is, the one word everyone missed from Carney’s speech.
Pluralism.
Pluralism isn’t weakness. It’s an economic super-weapon.
It’s how we survive while others burn down.
We refuse to live in a country that doesn't have room for everyone.
#cdnpoli #canpoli #abpoli
Exactly this. It is completely unhinged for them to act like they continue to have a mandate without holding a new election. Albertans did not knowingly elect a separatist party.
I don't want conservatives in power, but I really do want them to pick a reasonably competent leader just in case. Hopes dashed again.
Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford asking Alberta Premier Danielle Smith "to stand up and say enough is enough" to those leading Alberta's sovereignty movement as they meet with U.S. officials, saying you're either with Canada or not with Canada.
