Your weekly reminder that Alberta is entitled to nothing.

Canadians who happen to reside in Alberta are entitled to their own CPP.

Canadian In Alberta @canadianinalberta.bsky.social · Dec 20

I would suggest that she has picked a side and it's not Canada

By repeatedly catering to the Alberta separatists she has shown that she's on their side

Her words may not have been clear but her actions speak volumes

Alberta’s separatist leaders might be clowns, but the threat they pose with an oil-hungry administration in Washington is no joke.

It’s time for Danielle Smith to pick a lane — and stop playing both sides of an existential threat to her country. #cdnpoli

Fellow Canadians not living in Alberta:

Danielle Smith trying to steal Albertans’ CPP will affect all of you, too.

And if you think other Con premiers won’t pull an Alberta “AimCo” move to take over public pensions, do I have a bridge to sell you!

Brandy with a why? 🍁 @brandywithawhy.bsky.social · Nov 16

Fellow Albertans, and any family members of Albertans:
We need to start talking about losing our pensions with EVERYBODY.
So many people do not know what is happening. We need to get the word out, IRL, to people who are not on social media.
Talk to family, friends, coworkers, customers, strangers.

I wouldn't trust Smith to run a lemonade stand let alone a pension fund. She'd squander it supporting her oil and gas masters.

Remember: #DanielleSmith & Harper’s “plan” is to destroy #CPP. A decades old project of the far right is to privatize & destroy publicly funded sustainable & life-saving pensions to further enrich the wealthy. policyalternatives.ca/sites/defaul... #Ableg #cdnpoli #APP #HandsOffMyCPP
