I can’t believe that our sovereignty and independence could be sold for such a low price. Everyone need to pay attention to what is happening here.
We have such a rich province, full of natural resources and thriving businesses, it would be a shame to let a bunch of clowns sell us down the river

This is important

When the separatists talk about an independent Alberta, what they really mean is we're going to make Alberta American

Traitors the lot of them

I discovered Mother Earth products while on vacation in Niagra Falls. When I looked them up I discovered that they are based in my hometown. I will be checking you up when I get home. What a small world!

It’s smart of the ATA to shine a light on the issue of private schools. I’ll bet a lot of Albertans think it’s bonkers that we fund them at 70%.

Only in Alberta...

Does the mandate letter for the minister of environment include...

- Increase the use of plastic products
- Decrease protections for endangered species
- Fight for looser emissions controls
- Build an argument that Alberta's burning forests are Carbon sinks.

Alberta has over 300K kids in K-6. The UCP plans to pay $30/day each for childcare during the teacher strike. $9M daily. That’s equal to 90 top teacher salaries every day, or the cost of a new school each week.

The Alberta separatists, who think an independent Alberta would thrive, should pay attention to this

Alberta has no access to tidewater without BC's cooperation

& separatists can't bully their way through another province the way they can through the UCP

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.
More pointedly, the pope said, "Someone who says, I'm against abortion, but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says, I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."

Evan was making perfect sense before his voice was unceremoniously censored and then he was publicly chastised. What McAllister meant to say was “Evan, you’re not propping up our propaganda, so we’re taking away your right to speak.”

So much freedom.
