People can’t afford health insurance, inflation is through the roof, gas prices are soaring and immigrant children are locked in prison camps, but sure let’s do motorcycle flips on the lawn of the WH to celebrate an egotistical president‘s birthday.

Let's talk wait times with CHEST PAIN at the UofA ED. Just this week: posted "average" wait time at UAH was 5hrs... but something has changed and these are no longer even close to reflective of the real wait times. 1/11

Comments on my post yesterday abot the new ID cards show a frighteningly level of ignorance about who in this province pays taxes toward what services, and who has the right to access them. Hint - not only citizens pay taxes; not only citizens are entitled to AHC.

MLA silence could just as easily reflect a fear of that movement as support or sympathy. But through their silence, these MLAs are also hiding from their own leader — and from the voters, too. That’s cowardly. edmontonjournal.com/opinion/…

False. No passport. No armed forces. No health care system. No pensions. No OAS. No CPP. No disability benefits. No EI. No consular support. No student aid. No federal policing. No banking system protection. No free mobility. No constitutional rights. You're alone.
Alberta Independence doesn’t mean losing your Canadian passport. It means having two: Canadian & Albertan.

Rates of IPV are 1.8 times higher in rural areas than urban- at a time when Alberta has higher than national rates overall. And yet, the ACWS says provincial funding is being cut at several rural shelters- and they're urging the UCP to hit pause on that decision. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcas…

She flat-out lied about the law. He called her on it, and it was something to see.
WOW! Today Smith tried to perpetuate her spin on what duty to consult means and how it applies... And Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew was having NONE of it! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

700k did NOT vote for a referendum. Forever Canadian was for the legislature to declare their position (see below). As for the other petition, we don't know how many - never verified and we don't know how many many have been off the illegal voters list.

Replying to @FreeAlbertaRob
Dude, Quebec has already had two referenda on separation and they appear to be gearing up for a third. Separatist referendum don't end the separatist debate; they fuel it. You know this. You and your boss are CLEARLY separatists. You're just dishonest ones.

"Helping Danielle Smith avoid a leadership review is a Danielle Smith problem." @jengerson says the premier could’ve avoided a referendum entirely, but instead she chose that path & turned it into an Alberta issue to protect her political career. LISTEN: traffic.megaphone.fm/CORU449…

STATEMENT ON PROVINCIAL ADDRESS The Premier of Alberta intervened to lower the threshold for getting a separatist question on the ballot. She then intervened to eliminate a review requiring the question be constitutional. She intervenes again tonight after yet another court has told the separatists to slow down and follow the law. The premier can wrap these actions in the words of democracy, but she is willfully ignoring the will of the vast majority of Albertans who want no part of this separatist conversation. The simple reality, a reality you would not find in her speech, is this: she has pushed along a question because a group has threatened to bring down her and her party if she does not. Her internal political problems have become our national crisis. The Premier asserts her patriotism. I will take her at her word, but I will remind her a patriot puts country ahead of party. A leader steers the agenda, rather than having it blindly dictated to them. An Albertan finds ways to do what’s right, not justifications for doing what’s wrong. This baffling, referendum-on-a-referendum question will do nothing to settle anything. It adds another layer of confusion. It will divide. It will distract. It will damage. I hope her government will consider how to step back from this madness before the damage to our province’s social fabric and economy is too great. Corey Hogan MP Calgary Confederation
