“If you're not at the table, you're on the menu.” That's the blunt warning from Prime Minister Mark Carney that perfectly captures what's happening in Alberta right now. While Danielle Smith appears on TV promising "major government reform" and claiming that's what democracy is all about, Alberta's voters — depicted here as the wide-eyed flock of chickens — look stunned and powerless. The UCP was elected on a clear platform, but recent actions show they're veering sharply off course without fresh approval from the people. A government that ignores its mandate isn't governing by consent — it's serving its own agenda. When citizens and even MLAs feel shut out of the decision-making table, they risk becoming the main course on the policy menu. Alberta deserves better. Real democracy means listening to the people who put you there, not treating their vote as a blank cheque. It’s time to call an election NOW and let Albertans decide the direction forward. Taking Alberta Forward — by putting voters back at the table where they belong.

This is a must listen! How important is the electoral boundaries issue? It’s about our democracy. If this govt goes with the minority report they’ve influenced? Democracy in Alberta will die on an electoral divide. And…what can we do? There’s always something we can do.

Open & shut. Finish the report, finish off UCP, & place a bow on it. It’s incomprehensible that the Wylie report wasn’t finished months ago.

ALBERTA! Please watch this & listen carefully. Smith & the UCP plan to rig the next election. In case you were confused by the term being used everywhere, that's what media & politicos call gerrymandering. Now you know what it means. It's UNCONSTITUTIONAL vt.tiktok.com/ZSHyqxMHE/

"We invite all Albertans to stand with First Nations on Wednesday, April 8 at noon as we gather at the Provincial Court House in Edmonton," ACFN is calling out the hubris of the separatists and calling for solidarity among Albertans! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

"If we're going to rail against equalization at the federal level, then we can't keep doing the same thing to our municipalities." Last night, Council approved our property tax bylaw, complying with the UCP government's order to issue their largest property tax hike in our city's history. Despite our Council team approving only a 1.2% tax increase for city services like police and fire, Calgarians will see an increase nearly ten times that. **You need to know that nearly half of your property tax bill goes to the province, in an equalization formula described here by the Premier.** The UCP has hiked property taxes by 57% in four years. Their latest 21% increase represents about $339 more per household. Chestermere and Airdrie will pay even more than that. By contrast, Edmonton homeowners will only pay $154 more. Our Council team cares about affordability. We will continue to push for responsible spending while investing in core services like safety and infrastructure. Let's work together for a fair deal for municipalities and deliver transparency for where property tax dollars actually go.

This is so sad in a rich province and country. A rich province that throws around money to private investors, and pet projects, but won't allow disabled to receive gifts without clawing back. It's not like they are getting gifts from Saudis or UAE. Danielle is cruel.

The root cause of this is the systemic violence the @Alberta_UCP has inflicted on Alberta’s health care system.

An important read. A group of community leaders speaks out & calls on the UCP to follow due process & reject a rigged boundaries map for the next provincial election. A map Albertans had no chance to review or respond to over one they have. It must be rejected. #ableg

I wrote another thing. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Meanwhile in Ponoka… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The frustration, anger and hurt in this room was palpable. And it was painfully obvious the attendees do not in any way feel heard by Smith or the UCP. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Hey Alberta, Here are some scripts for calling the UCP govt about ADAP. Please take a moment and call and leave a message (or talk to a person if someone answers). Or write letters. Or all three.

Live tweeting thread on the ACORN town hall speaking out against the transition from AISH to ADAP. About 50 people have showed up at today’s town hall to express their anger and frustration. /1

#ableg #abpoli WTAF?? Alberta Rural communities now need non-profits to save medical services. Why? Because Danielle Smith gave MH Care ~$1,000,000,000 for faulty masks and dangerous kids meds instead Choices Matter. Danielle chooses her pal Sam Mirache over Albertans.

Just heard a dad refer to today as a PA day. No bud, it's not. Your kids are off for a Christian holy day. So when you complain about all the PA days, remember that you are the one adding days. Just a reminder, teachers do not set the school calendar.

It has been 1,261 days since Danielle Smith promised to fix healthcare in 90 days, and Sam Mraiche still has $49 million in public funds sitting in his bank account. #ABPoli

@politicalham @JSJamato I always chip in to folks demanding honesty and integrity for those who govern.

Sue his a$$, @JSJamato. I've got $50 for your GoFundMe. Who's with me?

@NonCurrentThing @JSJamato @staceybrotzel No this woman is opposed to self professed libertarian politicians whi lie about who they are and who they represent.

@joadomeit @JSJamato @staceybrotzel It's amazing how leftists are really passionate about children being able to see and read porn.

Alberta is indeed expanding its “book ban” to all public libraries and putting the Muni Affairs Minister in charge of that. They will be making 16+ areas for racy images. The premier previously told me this would only be for libraries co-located in schools. #ableg #cdnpoli

Now…Bill 28…CONTROL.
