It was -15C(+5F) -22C (-8F) with windchill today, as we rallied to show the UCP that enough is enough. @katfromthehat.bsky.social was there and I believe @ofmanyfandoms.bsky.social. A few chilled toes and fingers, but no frostbite.🧊🧊

Photo of some of the 20 people that came out to rally against Danielle Smith and call for the recall of our two MLAs in Medicine hat. We're on the snow covered verge beside the sidewalk in front of Justin Wright's constituency office. Huge red letters spelling out "RECALL" is planted in the snow. One sign propped against a tree reads "Public Money is for Public Schools. Another reads "Un Compassionate Party" a play on the United Conservative Party. It also has a picture of Danelle Smith. Another reads "Put out the fire, Say No to Danielle Smith" referencing the recall paper work that has been approved and is awaiting publication. Another sign reads "Hate Has No Home Here" and there is also a "Protect Our Water" sign referencing the fact the UCP is allowing coal strip mining on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains which is endangering our watershed. The insisted that the permits would not allow this, but it was a lie. Photo of more people holding signs and bundled up for the cold. Signs read "Kill Bill 14" which is the UCP trying to halt the recall and citizens initiative petitions. Other sign read "Trans Rights are Human Rights"; "Pink Slip. You have violated your terms of employment by undermining our democracy, ignoring the will of Albertans"; WE ARE NOT withSTANDING with the UCP! RECALL THEM"; "Keep Our Healthcare Public" and the last sign simply reads "RECALL"
