Replacement of Calgary’s crumbling water delivery mains should qualify as a federal infrastructure project. Watch all the Alberta petrosexuals twist into rage pretzels arguing for an oil pipeline over dependable water service for 2 million people.

Upping this post about UCP MLA recall petitions so people can scroll down and find their riding
The events will be out of date
But each post has a link where you can get information about signing

If we don't sign those petitions Smith can claim she's popular and we support her crap

#ableg #abpoli
So once again I'm going to do a thread on the #ableg UCP recalls
I will list the MLA, the riding & a site for you to find a signing location
Just scroll to your riding
Please encourage others in your circle to sign
It's the only way to end this nightmare

In case you had any doubts that “Alberta Update” is nothing more than unabashed propaganda from the Premiers office…

Bruce “Spanky” McAllister, Executive Director for her Southern office and Smith’s resident lapdog for 13 years, wants to tee it up…

Having basic needs met is a huge factor in determining health

If everyone had shelter, food, healthcare & a basic income…society would be healthier

Instead the billionaires & corporations hoard wealth and blame us when we become disabled or homeless

Poverty is a policy choice. Not a moral failing

As an Albertan, and a Canadian citizen, I would like to hear a very good reason as to why Rath, and the rest of the separatists meeting with the Trump administration, haven't been charged with treason

to minimize democratic engagement.

"Council would be pulling off a double whammy: disregarding the service of dedicated volunteers while simultaneously dismantling the deliberative governance spaces that underpin local democracy."

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

These are my pension funds. It is not the property of the province I live in. The #UCP does not have the right, without my expressed permission, to take control of it.
"I promise, if the UCP tries to touch a penny of my CPP, I will start a GoFundLawyers campaign for a class action against the governing UCP, the United Conservative Association which runs the political entity “UCP”, and the Govt of Alberta."

If you're going to drop into every post and reply "So what? Who's going to do something about it?", the answer is YOU. YOU are going to do something about it. YOU are the consequences. Stop waiting for someone else to save you.

A new low for Alberta. When the Premier’s ED Bruce McAllister eggs on boycotts of McBride's Bakery, he signals that harassment is okay. This is a state-sponsored attack on democracy. Condemn it now #RecallNicolaides #RecallSmith #AbLeg #AbPoli #SpankyMcAllister
The UCP foot soldiers did what they do best, threatening the owner of Bowmart all morning via phone calls.

If you live in the area, please stop in to thank the new owner for trying to make space for democracy.

I've been asked by 3 media outlets in the last week to do interviews on the influenza season.

I still haven't seen our new CMOH, appointed Dec 18th, (or old one, for that matter. Or any public health official) in the media on this topic.

For the record, they are acutally paid, to do this.

This is what we’d have in Canada right now if Poilievre were elected. And definitely would exist in Alberta, if they forced separation upon us.

A leaked DoJ memo calls for prosecutors to charge people who film ICE with “domestic terrorism”

They don’t want their atrocities documented.

They don’t want a historical record.

They don’t want the world to know.

That’s why we have to keep filming. Keep speaking out.
Justice Department says filming immigration raids is 'domestic terrorism'

This rests firmly on the shoulders of Danielle Smith and the UCP. Yes, if you voted for them, this is what you voted for. Certainly the hospiral mades mistakes, but this happens often and is systemic.
