The UCP is making life more expensive for seniors in Alberta.
Rights of Alberta seniors are being neglected by the UCP gov’t now more than ever. Drug & health benefits rolled back, skyrocketed cost of living having a disproportionate impact. This after the UCP did away with the office of the seniors’ advocate and amalgamate it into health.
All Canada needs to do to decimate ABs economy is turn off the taps on the wholly owned TMX pipeline. You are vastly overestimating the strength of Alberta’s hand.
I wish more people in this country could realize the truth instead of fighting it.
I thought Trump said the Epstein list was “a hoax” that was “created by Obama, Hillary and Biden.” The same list he just said he knows Bill Clinton’s name is on? How does that work exactly?
This is a horror and Israel is to blame. There needs to be a ceasefire and Gaza flooded with food and water. nytimes.com/2025/07/24/wor…
WHY IS BABY FORMULA NOT ALLOWED INTO GAZA?
NEW: 🇮🇱 Israel confiscates baby formula from foreign doctors at Gaza checkpoints — British surgeon Nick Maynard 'No formula allowed in. Every carton seized'
Newsom: They play by a different set of rules . And we can sit back and act as if we have some moral superiority and watch this almost 250 year experiment be washed away. We are not going to allow that to happen. We have agency. We can shape the future
Before I blow my stack, people are sharing this. Is this real? Because I can't find it & she may have deleted it
Danielle Smith is nothing but a stream of gaslighting, most every day, just making shit up. The press makes a mistake, and the UCP lose their minds. Talk about hypocrisy. An order of magnitude next level hypocrisy.
Journalists, editors, I beg of you. If you're so desperate for content that you're going to run this story every year, at least include the proper context. Talk to some actual experts who aren't affiliated with the Fraser Institute.
Even if we use their flagrantly biased math, the headline figure is basically the same as it was in the 1980s. In 1985, taxes were 45.9% of income. In 2024? 42.3%
Look at what they include as taxes -- your CPP premiums, which are essentially a form of deferred savings. They also include "natural resource taxes" and "profit tax", which are taxes paid by businesses.
They even talked to a non-Fraser Institute expert!
This "new" study is just a regurgitation of the "tax freedom day" agitprop they push out every year. The folks at @pressprogress did a good job of debunking that study recently.
It kills me when outlets like CTV fall for this nonsense and just faithfully regurgitate the talking points in this Fraser Institute study.

We're nasty like that...

There's a difference between being found 'not guilty' in a court of law and not being innocent of dehumanizing and abusing a young woman. A pattern hockey culture is fucking poisoned with.

#NeverVoteConservative. Want proof? Just look at the shit show that is America right now.
Let me guess. Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan are the three biggest re-allocators of transfers meant for public Healthcare. Conservative ideology is sure to kill a lot of us waiting for a system they have no plans to improve upon. When will we have enough of this madness?
