I had absolutely nothing to do with the $100+ million DynaLife lab service debacle.
Except when I represented them as a lobbyist to the UCP while I was president of the Alberta Enterprise Group which they were members.

RICH!!! MAPLE MAGA Premiere Smith calling for a Team Canada approach for her pipeline.
Yet she wasn’t on Team Canada when her buddy Trump started with 51st State rhetoric. When Carney and all the Premieres got together for their 1st Team Canada meeting. Dani didn’t attend she was still in Florida 🤬

Yup, IMO.

Premier Smith asked if there will be changes to recall act.
Says threshold won't change, but raises issues on how MLAs can defend themselves, fears that go fund me campaigns are being funded by foreign actors and that the AFL is bussing people into ridings to help campaigns.

Danielle Smith and her "R-Star" ideas are way out of step with Albertans it seems. Her entire approach to governance is to ignore the will of the people. Actually surprising that she has been able to get away with it, but the cracks are beginning to grow wider. #ABpoli
“Albertans don’t agree on a lot these days,” said pollster Janet Brown, “but our research shows they overwhelmingly want the oil and gas industry to pay their bills.”

What do you call a group that demands total freedom, but panics the moment anyone demands theirs?
It’s a purity cult. If they override you, it’s stability. If you assert yourself, it’s chaos. They want to control who has a voice.
#ForeverCanadian upset that order, so they want to change the law.

Hear, hear to that sentiment! Smith has yet to prove she has the best interests of average Albertans at heart in ANY regard. She hasn't done one thing to make life better or more affordable for typical Albertans.
Neglect of duty, misuse of office and incompetence perfectly describes Danielle Smith and the UCP and that is why I support the recall.

How could the UCP make a bad problem worse? By changing recall laws as recalls are being filed across the province.
Keep Bill 2 as is and they'll lose in 2027. Change recall legislation so it's harder to recall them and they'll lose badly.

Keep your eyes on Operation Total Recall (linked below). This is certain to raise the hackles of the UCP braintrust, as the efforts are gaining traction. There are now a great many motivated volunteers in Alberta, willing to gather signatures. The UCP may yet reap what they've sown. #ABpoli
Just over the weekend, 15 UCP MLAs have been targeted by constituents motivated to recall them, with at least two more starting the process.
