The normies in Alberta are mounting a revolt. Currently 14 sitting UCP MLA's are under recall petitions. We'll either pick them off one by one or force a snap election. Either way, we are prepared to take back control of our Province from the current regime.

At certain point the gullible are responsible for staying gullible.
AB UCP voters are well past that point.
The rest of AB has my support and sympathy for being held hostage by the gullible.
Recall them all and get your province back.

I trust that Albertans will show the UCP not to fuck with our charter rights... As shown through all the recall petitions. However I wish the feds would enforce the healthcare act and not allow Alberta to privatize health care. We're just going to waste millions of more $$ and the poor will die

#UCP-MAGA uses notwithstanding clause, strips teachers' & trans folks' Charter rights.
14 #UCP-MAGA MLAs who voted for the notwithstanding clause are facing valid recall petitions.
Correlation or causation? Hmmmmm...

14 Alberta MLAs face recall petitions, mostly because they supported using the Notwithstanding clause and are seen to be avoiding their constituents.
This should be a strong signal to the AB government that their actions are unpopular.
