Didn't know how spineless, disconnected and indifferent our #UCP government is.
You had 6 years,
and rather than fix it,
your Bill 2, back to school,
is based on denying human rights?
Watching MLA's was a grest insight, with robes and silly napkin collars and golden mace.
The UCP just ignore and gaslight, skip the discussions, limit the debate, skip your rights, and try to skip their #shame

Lead the way, Alberta! A #generalstrike even for just one province would be a huge step in the right direction.
This morning I went to a #protest to #recall the #Premier of #Alberta, #DanielleSmith.
Hate to say it, but I wish there were more people there, and too many people who WERE there were #canvasing for #ForeverCanada, the #petition to NOT #secede. I had to tell at least five people I already signed it in Sherwood Park.
Once again #ucp doesn’t help Alberta
Manufacture a problem and bring in a costly fix
Taking a page out the #trump playbook, #distractions from their privatization of health care and poor economic performance
I just got told by mom that my brother received a letter asking him to explain why he's on #incomesupport.
He's been #diagnosed as #Schizophrenic since young adulthood and is on more pills than I am.
But now, he's being asked to justify his right to not live on the street.
And people wonder why I'm not grateful for the #UCP "saving" Alberta from "Trudeau's scocialism..."
Well, #Alberta's #Banning #Library #Books.
Sorry, "they're creating province wide standards to ensure age appropriate of library material after dozens of books containing explicit sexual content were found in #Calgary and #Edmonton #Schools.
What are the "sexually explicit books" in question? Four #GraphicNovels about young people "discovering their sexual identity."

So "Separatists release potential referendum questions" got the front page treatment.
I mean, we can all come up with "potential" referendum questions. So do we all get to be on the front page if we cook something up tomorrow!?*
*maybe Wednesday, I'm quite busy tomorrow
Able-bodied Canadians (especially Albertans): please take notice, and please take action, however you personally see fit to do so.
From Inclusion Alberta:
"The Government of Alberta’s decision to claw back the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) – a federal benefit intended to help lift Canadians with disabilities out of poverty – from AISH recipients is punitive, mean-spirited and undermines the benefit’s fundamental purpose. Now, to add insult to injury, they have informed AISH recipients they must apply for the benefit, which requires going through a time-consuming and complex eligibility process that requires applying for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) which often can cost as much as $300, so that, should they be eligible, the government can reduce their AISH by the corresponding amount. This is an unconscionable decision to take money meant to improve the lives of people with disabilities and redirect it to government coffers."
“At the same time as this government is cutting income taxes, it is effectively adding close to 10% tax on disability by clawing back up to $200/month of what would be the combined amount of AISH and CDB,” says Inclusion Alberta CEO Trish Bowman. “What moral justification could there possibly be for leaving Albertans with disabilities to live off less than MLAs receive for their taxpayer-funded housing allowance? To suggest the amount of AISH alone is adequate shows just how out of touch this government has become with the realities of people with disabilities and their families.”

Edit: To apply for the CDB on the online portal: all you need is your SIN (social insurance number), your 2024 tax assessment (one line of information), and your bank information (they probably already have it from your tax return auto-deposit information).
Once CFS became involved, Income Support backed down and extended funding for the hotel. #abpol
The United Cons are attacking my favourite road project in all of Edmonton, so I am linking a thread I wrote about it here:

So we're having a #Measlesoutbreak here in #Alberta, #Canada and, wouldn't you know it, we don't have a #ChiefMedicalOfficer anymore.
For some reason, our #Premier, #DanielleSmith failed to renew the officer's contract OR get a replacement.
I am so SICK of the world drowning in malicious stupidity.
