Danielle Smith tried to sell her federal-Alberta energy deal to the UCP convention crowd: tepid applause.
She told them that this proved Canada can work well for Alberta’s interests: loud boos.
This ain’t a base that wants Smith to work with a Liberal PM on a better industrial carbon tax.

I doubt this bonkers UCP resolution will actually become law, but it highlights the degree to which pseudoscience & conspiracy theories have been normalized... Stunning.
How consumed by off-the-rails anti-science antivaxx conspiracy theories is the Alberta UCP?
Check out Resolutions #20 for UCP AGM. 👇
- Stop mRNA vaccines use in AB?
- provide vaccine detoxing (read: embrace pseudoscience)?
- educate about "vaccine injuries"?

Spain has become the Western world's economic-growth leader -- with the lowest deficits in Europe to boot -- by using the same toolkit Ottawa has before it (immigration plus investment in big capital projects), but doing it right. We should learn from them

Spare me the “lone gunman” nonsense. This murderer, just like all the others, was abetted by an entire society enamoured with guns, titillated by violence and fuelled by cruelty. None of these guys act alone.

The UCP argues recall is being weaponized against policy, not misconduct.
By that logic, the Gondek recall was also weaponized, as it was explicitly against her policies.
The UCP's reaction to the weaponized recall on Gondek?

Of note: UCP 2023 campaign platform included 217 promises.
The terms 'parental rights', 'pronoun', 'consent', 'sexual education' and 'gender identity' appear nowhere in those pledges.
Below is the only transgender reference found in the campaign platform. #yeg #yyc #ableg
