"Alberta ICE" is here.

This week on ‘Whatever This Is’, the UCP is spending $156 million to copy-paste an American nightmare: ICE.

Expanded powers. Anonymous tips. Zero independent accountability.

It’s a tactic ripped straight from the US playbook.

Instead of funding the nurses and teachers we actually need, Danielle Smith is building a state-controlled police force that bypasses local authority.

Well done and 100% on point, I feel for all my Albertan friends and family that they have to endure Smith.

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.

This week on ‘Whatever This Is’, the one word Danielle Smith is using to cover for her own budget deficit: Scapegoat.

Zain Velji on Pierre Poilievre's speech: "Welcome to Donald Trump being president of the United States -- welcome to that entire reality. Glad you're playing ball, but you're just caught up with everyone else."

VELJI: "Matt Jeneroux today joins the Liberals on a speech made by the PM at Davos, a place that his former leader, Pierre Poilievre, banned any of his MPs or Cabinet Ministers from ever attending and that was a popular move at the time."

The only reason Jeneroux is around to cross to the Libs is because Poilievre insisted he not resign until the spring 😂😂😂

Alberta separatists might look haphazard and kooky, but they have a path to turn a 20% issue into a real threat.

1 - Normalize separatism so it no longer feels toxic.
2 - Tie it to every grievance.
3 - Find a political dance partner. The U.S.A.

They are now pushing all 3 at once.

VELJI: "Trumpism, you could argue, has come into America as a result of what America already is. It is a reaction, a trailing indicator, rather than a leading indicator."

NEW: This week on 'Whatever This Is', we break down Danielle Smith’s Alberta Next report that pushes big changes nobody asked for.

We explain the strategy, why it signals weakness, and why scapegoating immigrants for Alberta's problems shows they are out of ideas.

🚨 NEW: This week on ‘Whatever This Is’ we explain Danielle Smith’s Bill 11 healthcare smokescreen.

The policy hits you hard when you need surgery. You face tens of thousands or wait even longer.

PM Mark Carney can stop this before surgery becomes a product in Canada: MakeTheSave.ca #ableg #abpoli

NEW: This week on 'Whatever This Is' we explain why Danielle Smith’s pipeline hype hides something worse. Bill 11. A plan that lets doctors work public and private at the same time. Rich Albertans get a private pipeline of care. The rest of us wait longer and pay more.

Strong leaders don't use the Notwithstanding Clause to override rights. Weak leaders do.

Alberta's government invoked the Notwithstanding Clause this week to force teachers back to work and reportedly plans to use it again against trans kids in the coming days.

When governments can override rights with one vote, no one is safe. Sign the petition to defend the Charter.

⚠️ URGENT: Danielle Smith has invoked the Notwithstanding Clause to force teachers back to work, in addition to her plan to use the Clause to override trans rights.

This is unprecedented and violates rights, overrides the courts, and puts everyone’s rights in danger.

Once one government learns it can override your fundamental rights, every government learns it can too. That’s the danger of the Notwithstanding Clause. It teaches power to ignore accountability.

Draw the line. Defend the Charter.
