Danielle Smith is pushing a separatism vote to save herself, and we’re the ones who pay for it. And here’s the trap: we could win the argument and still let her walk away without consequences. #ableg #canpoli #abpoli

While the government claims private options will fix the system, they are actually just handing universal public healthcare over to a U.S.-style private insurance system. #ableg #abpoli #canpoli notwotier.ca

On March 31, the UCP government introduced Bill 25, a piece of legislation that, according to the Canadian Civil Liberties Union, “entrenches censorship in schools.” Comedian Henry Sir gives us a satirical look at a “neutral” classroom under UCP supervision. #abpoli #ableg #canpoli

To soothe the dread we’re all feeling right now, we wanted to do something fun for this week’s Forward Weekly feature — a comedy sketch about Alberta's Bill 25 starring comedian Henry Sir, best known for his Alberta chirping videos. Check out this week's issue at: archive.forwardweekly.ca?issue=06

Alberta is now Canada's most unequal province. Our rich-poor gap is so bad that the top 10 percent grab a bigger slice of income here than they do in the United States. Every time Danielle Smith says the economy is strong, we need to ask: strong for whom? #ableg #abpoli #canpoli

This week on ‘Whatever This Is’, we are calling out the great con. Danielle Smith keeps bragging about Alberta's prosperity, but she forgets to mention it is not happening to you. Every time Danielle Smith says the economy is strong, we need to ask: strong for who? #ableg #abpoli #canpoli

While the rest of us are buying Canadian, Danielle Smith is importing trash from the U.S. She wants to bring in their two tier healthcare, ICE, and now... gerrymandering. This video by @troypavlek.ca was featured in this week's issue of Forward Weekly, Sign up for free at: forwardweekly.ca.

While a sleepwalking majority of Albertans look the other way, a radical minority is packing ballrooms and making separatism trendy. They’ve moved past the "fringe movement" phase and into a full-blown "seceding from reality" playbook, and Danielle Smith is making it happen. #ableg #canpoli #abpoli

This week on ‘Whatever This Is’, we’re sounding the alarm on a breaking development: Alberta separatists claim they’ve officially collected the signatures needed to force an independence referendum. The fringe is no longer at the door--they’re inside the house. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This week on ‘Whatever This Is’, we’re calling out the ultimate wealth transfer happening right under our noses: Danielle Smith’s two-tier education system. It’s a tactic ripped straight from the American playbook: Defund the public. Subsidize the elite. Segregate by class. #ableg #canpoli #abpoli

We called Danielle Smith’s police force “Alberta ICE”. The separatists…agreed(!!) and celebrated it(!!). This is where we are right now, Alberta. #ableg #abpoli #canpoli

"Alberta ICE" is here. This week on ‘Whatever This Is’, the UCP is spending $156 million to copy-paste an American nightmare: ICE. Expanded powers. Anonymous tips. Zero independent accountability. It’s a tactic ripped straight from the US playbook. #ableg #canpoli #abpoli

The math doesn't lie. Danielle Smith spent $17 million on "Alberta is Calling" to recruit new residents. But spent $0 on the infrastructure to support them. Now that the bills are due and the services are failing, she’s pointing the finger at the very people she invited. #ableg #canpoli #abpoli

NEW: This week on Whatever This Is, the one word everyone missed from Carney’s speech. Pluralism. Pluralism isn’t weakness. It’s an economic super-weapon. It’s how we survive while others burn down. We refuse to live in a country that doesn't have room for everyone. #cdnpoli #canpoli #abpoli
