This article makes me angry, and that's why I will never support public education dollars going to private schools like Webber Academy 🤬 #abpoli #ableg #FuckSmith #FuckTheUCP #FuckSmith #yeg #yyc #yql

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.
I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

This is what Danielle Smith is priming Alberta for. This. And, incredibly, she's probably going to use our driver's licenses as the portal. But, Canadians have no idea how hard a for profit healthcare system sucks. So much out of pocket even when you have insurance. #ableg #cdnpoli
My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan.
I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month.
And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.

This is the fucking loser who is taking away money from disabled Albertans. Nixon needs to go and fuck off 🤬 #abpoli #ableg #yeg #yyc #yql
If B.C. can veto Alberta's resources, Alberta can do the same: minister Nixon
Typical aggressive treats from a minister that thinks talking tough will bring people together.
We need more reasonable politicians & not bullies.

Separatists at the #UCP convention (and there are a lot of them) booing #DanielleSmith for her half assed support of #Canada. These are the people giving policy direction to the her gov. You conservative voters handed our province to a gang of crackpots. Shame on you. #alberta #ableg #yyc #yeg
