Why is the government doing this?
What’s the justification? How will the unhoused, the elderly, the disabled keep identifications up to date? Isn’t this another barrier? Why change prescription drug plan outlined in Bill 11? Why don’t they have answers for those things up front? #ABPoli #ABLeg

The UCP is a far-right extremist party abusing the Charter's Notwithstanding Clause while running one of the most corrupt and incompetent governments Alberta has ever had.

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?
To make recall easier.
