Former Alberta Deputy Premier Thomas and yes… you’ll have to watch 15 seconds of Danielle Smith 😬

But there’s a reason.

In this clip, Danielle Smith makes her claim… and Thomas directly exposes it.

Even though we were blocked from parking in the empty parking lot, twenty five of us gathered to show our disapproval of Denial Smith and the right wing UCP’s policies. Besides myself @katfromthehat.bsky.social & @ofmanyfandoms.bsky.social also attended.

@katfromthehat.bsky.social holding a poster on a hockey stick reading: “Put Out The Fire, say Not to Danielle Smith. Also a person holding a large Canadian Flag and a Fiddle Player playing some music for us. @ofmanyfandoms.bsky.social holding her Canadian Pride themed flag with a moose dressed as a Mountie beside the rainbow coloured leaf of the flag. Others waving Canadian & Pride Rainbow flags. Person holding a poster saying “WE ARE Alberta CANADA with a large red coloured maple leaf and they’re also holding small Canadian Flags. Here’s our WE ARE Alberta CANADA person again and behind them is a person holding a Pride Flag and another in a Red Jersey holding a sign that says “Hate Has No Home Here" In this photo we have a black backgrounded banner saying “No to Separation Canada Forever, Protest, Rally, Oppose, Unite, Demonstrate”. The word No, is done in yellow coloured letters the rest of the text is done in white, or blue lettering. Also, there is a large red maple leaf between the words Canada and Forever. People holding the banner are holding Canadian Flags.

Photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. Rowan rises up from a prone position to run from my camera. She was lying on the ground floor carpet and as soon as I got my phone ready to take a picture she jumped up and ran away. I managed to take the picture just as her front quarters are up and her right foot is in motion to run.

A screen grab of a black background poster with red broken hearts. It’s headlined UCP MLA’s no integrity, o Morality, No Backbone. Corrupt Separatists. Each heart is labelled with the things they’ve done to undermine Alberta. It has a hashtag which reads #CallAnElectionSmith.

D’Artagnan showing off some toe beans, while he suns himself. He wishes everyone a Happy Friday and reminds you, that thirteen is just a number!😸

Photo of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. He’s lying on the carpet beside the ground floor cat tree. The back window vertical blinds are open, allowing the morning sun to shine on the spot he chose. His front quarters are upright, he’s looking into the camera and his eyes are slightly shut to shield them from the sun. D’Artagnan’s rear quarters are lying flat on his left side with his rear toe beans exposed. The front right paw is draped over his rear left leg.

Bill 11 isn't "European" healthcare—it’s a shift to a U.S. model. By allowing private insurance for medically necessary care, it risks:
💸 For-profit insurance foothold ⌛ Wealthy queue-jumping & doctor drain 📈 Higher admin costs
Our public system is being traded for greed. 🇨🇦🩺

It’s #ThrowbackThursday and Rowan has been in training for Whiskers Wednesday since 2014.

#cats #cat #rescue #catsofbluesky #FeralToFriendly
Close up photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. It was taken in June of 2014. Rowan was just over one year old. She’s lying upright on a blue and white fuzzy blanket, beside my wife’s leg looking into the camera. Being young she hasn’t fully grown out her mane and grown into her ears. Her whiskers are evident, but not spread out for a good Whiskers Wednesday shot. She needed more practice.

The announcement of numbers for the #AlbertaFundsPublicSchools petition is to be announced today. We worked hard on this and from the web site unofficially 123,006 signatures were gathered. Shy of the 177,732 required, but definitely sends a message.

The unthinkable has happened in Tumbler Ridge. Terrible, terrible tragedy due to gun violence. My deepest sympathy to all the family and friends of the victims, my warmest thoughts to the first responders, and indeed the entire community who have suffered such a shocking loss.
Broken heart but it has the Canadian flag on the heart instead of just being red or whatever.

A close up photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. She’s lying across my lap as I sit and have my morning coffee while reclining on the couch. She has a very stern look on her face, so I decided to take a second extreme zoomed in photo and play with some dialogue Rowan might say, if she could talk.

Since when do teachers, or any Albertan, have to have Smith's approval for their entertainment?
Smith voicing an opinion in this is overreach IMO
Brandt's a big boy
He's stated his position and we are free to have our own opinions about that
We are still free

A photo of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. He’s in the top bed of the cat tree by our front window. He got bored looking out at birds on the feeder, so he decided to clean his right front paw, while waiting for different ones to show up.

They’re lying in the bottom bin shaped bed of the cat tree overlooking our front yard. D’Artagnan is curled nose to tail on one side and Rowan has her head over the side of the bed looking out the window at the bird feeders. There is now snow on the ground due to our unseasonably warm weather and no birds at the feeder, but she’s hopeful some will appear soon.

The myth that O&G is the end-all and be-all for Albertans continues despite 10s of thousands of jobs lost over the last few years, despite increased production and profits for the companies. Albertan workers don't benefit, but the foreign owned companies & their investors do.
