@sarobertsonca In particular, Alberta had a voice at the COPS Climate Conferences from 2015-19 and federal Minister Guilbault and Alberta's Minister of the Environment, Shannon Phillips were respected. Since 2019, the environment & Ministers have not been respected by Smith.

@sarobertsonca I remind Premier Smith that of the last 10 years, Premier Notley was our Premier for 4 years from 2015-19. During that time I never heard all this anti-Trudeau rhetoric except from some disgruntled Albertans. Meanwhile the Trans Mountain got built. The environment was respected.

SMITH: "Many of the people who are in [PM Carney's] caucus still hold on to the same views that they have for the last 10 years. That Alberta is a problem, our economic wealth is a problem, developing it is a problem, so keep it in the ground. And that is not going to happen."

@CTVNews As soon as I am vetted to be a canvasser for Corb Lund's, No Coal Mining in the Eastern Slopes, I plan to visit my Lethbridge East MLA,@neudorf_ab & request his signature. However I will also remind him that Ryan Tanner denied Leth. East electorate, his recall petition.

‘I don’t police the responses of my MLAs’: Smith says caucus members can sign any petition they want to, including on separation ctvnews.ca/politics/artic…

Good morning everyone. I’m deeply grateful to wake up in Canada today. For all our challenges, we live in one of the best places on earth. Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise!

BREAKING: Music legend Bruce Springsteen just released this incredible song that will be sure to piss Trump off beyond belief. “Streets of Minneapolis”. He wrote this song about Alex Pretti and Renée Good Saturday and recorded it yesterday. Share it far and wide and play it as loud as you can

Alberta, this piece makes the case against the Grassy Mtn coal project and long term contamination very accurately. Short term thinking causing generational damage to our water supply. Worth a quick read to understand the Grassy Mtn situation.  edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…

GOOD NEIGHBOURS... 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🟥 I have seen so many comments over the past several months, and especially in recent days, from Americans reaching out to express their apologies to Canada, for Trump’s attitude toward us: the harsh rhetoric, threats, and overall treatment... They emphasize that they do not support or endorse his behaviour, and stress their DEEP respect and affection for Canada. They want to make it clear that Trump’s actions and words do not reflect the views or values of most Americans. AMERICAN FRIENDS – we know that the great majority of you feel nothing but goodwill toward us. We’ve always been, and still are, good neighbours. ✅ A shared history runs between us. ▪️ Shared sacrifices. ▪️ Shared traditions. ▪️ An intertwined economy. ▪️ Shared security and defence commitments. That bond isn’t fragile. It’s not going anywhere. It’s UNBREAKABLE. And when this moment of madness has passed ... and it WILL ... we will come together again, bound by our shared affection and common purpose, as nations and as peoples. 👍🏼 This video from the last Liberal Party campaign, that features the town of Gander, Newfoundland that opened their doors and hearts to thousands of stranded Americans after 9/11, reminds me of our close bond. ⬇️ 🙂

@SPhillipsAB Alberta's envoy to Washington Nathan Cooper @NathanCooperAB @ABintheUSA needs to step up and defend our province from foreign political interference.

Every single Alberta UCP elected official - from Danielle Smith on down, and every single Conservative Party of Canada elected - from Poilievre on down - should be asked to repudiate Mr Bessent. Smith should be writing him a letter of clarification.

Adler on fire with his trademark Canadian Common Sense. #WEF26 #Davos26 #Trump #cdnpoli #RealTalkRJ 🇨🇦

@jaketapper I have never been prouder to be Canadian after yesterday's speech by Prime Minister Carney at Davos. The contrast to today's speech by President Trump could not be more striking. We are prepared for retribution now b/c we know how long your US President holds grievances.💕🇨🇦

A grassroots organization, AB. Resistance, are saying they are deeply concerned with the lack of action with MLA Lethbridge East Nathan Neudorf’s recall. lethbridgeherald.com/news/lethbridg… @MargTokar @AB_Resistance #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Alberta has four health ministers, and there’s not been a chirp from any of them about the mess in the province’s Emergency Rooms. albertapolitics.ca/2026/01/albert… #abpoli #ableg #abhealth

@MsLutzmann You could check with the Education Minister but I think he and a few buddies are climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. It is a worthy fundraiser but I think the timing leaves much to be desired. Same way our Premier is MIA at the moment.

So, uh, are there supposed to be 1000 more teachers and ~500 more education assistants in Alberta schools? Semester 2 starts in two weeks… is “more supports” still a thing that’s supposed to be happening? #abed #abpoli #ableg

🚨 JUST IN: In a jaw-dropping declaration, Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen announced that "If we have to choose between the United States and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO, the Kingdom of Denmark, and the EU."

From the DM’s… It takes a special kind of “wait, what?” to actually reduce the number of available beds during a healthcare crisis. But nonetheless, here we are. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

@MattJonesYYC Your very tepid response to the health care crisis in Alberta shows everything we already know. You sure are excited when on a Monday, you announce the update will be on Thursday! Do better...much better because your update will do little to nothing to address the issues!

Acute Care Alberta has issued a statement on Alberta’s response to provincial acute care capacity pressures, see below. In addition, the Ministry of Hospital and Surgical Health Services, along with Acute Care Alberta, Alberta Health Services, and Covenant Health, will provide a public update on acute care capacity on Thursday, Jan 15, including an opportunity for media questions.

@mrmikeMTL I'm 77! What is the matter with being on X over 60?

Super Serious Question. Is anyone on X actually over 60?

@AbGamble1 I voted for Joe Clark when he was MP for Yellowhead and became our Prime Minister...that's the last time that I voted PC.I have never voted for the person who actually went on to be elected provincially except in Lethbridge East in 2015 when we elected the NDP provincially.

Listen up! I worked under Lougheed, I campaigned for Joe Clark, a young page by the name of Jason Kenny toured us in Ottawa, my wife worked for PC party headquarters. I left the party during Harpers 2nd term. The Conservative party was hijacked...end of story.
