There is a reason that we do not have MLAs decide on electoral boundaries. Tossing out the Electoral Boundaries Commission and replacing it with a UCP-dominated committee is not just a bad idea. It is really bad for democracy. Ask the US, ask Hungary. This is not normal!

The UCP is trying its damnedest to gut Alberta health care—underpaying staff and blocking unions, severely cutting budgets for the system, and authorizing private health care to enrich insurance companies. All so that she can funnel money towards oil companies and boondoggles.

My dad, 85 years old, suffering from the effects of a 2 year struggle with cancer, and chief of surgery at the Chinook Regional Hospital for decades, was moved from an already overcrowded space to an “overcapacity room” while he recovers from a stomach bleed and pneumonia. This is the room. 🧵🧵🧵

The Jasper Wildfire review is damningly clear about one thing: the UCP government exploited a life-and-death moment to play political games.
And in their response to this report, rather than accepting responsibility and promising to do better, they lash out, insult others, and refuse any blame.

After years of advocacy, applications for the $200/month Canada Disability Benefit opened today.
But the only provincial govt in Canada that will keep its citizens with disabilities from actually benefiting from it is the UCP.
They are the only ones clawing it back.
It’s cruel & shameful.

The Premier is addressing Albertans live at 3pm on Monday to discuss the future of Alberta in Confederation.
Nothing that I saw or heard today suggests a groundswell of angst among Albertans. Neither do polls.
If she speaks of a crisis on Monday, it's likely imagined or manufactured.

Today's conversations reinforced my sense that this is not our grandparents' populism or alienation.
