We have the first pipeline taking Alberta’s oil to tide water in over 50 years; a key piece of resource infrastructure. Successive conservative governments failed to achieve this. It was the NDP with Premier Rachel Notley who made this happen. Our party gets things done! #AbLeg
#Ableg Poverty is a policy failure The UCP choosing NOT to fund basic human supports like shelters is a MASSIVE policy failure The fact is the Federal Gov’t needed to clean up the UCP’s mess with $21.000,000 Smith’s Bill 18 will block future support Such a needless disaster

The Premier of Alberta should demonstrate integrity, not blatantly lie to the public. Danielle Smith put a moratorium on renewable energy - risking thousands of jobs and billions in investment - because it suited her, not because it was requested by the system operator. #AbLeg

Hey #RuralAlberta neighbours....remember how you hate the @albertaNDP so much...take a moment today to say thanks to the ones who actually got this done!!! O&G had a friend in the NDP...not the big bad enemy the other party constantly says they are!

Contact Municipal Affairs Minister @RicMcIver and our Premier @ABDanielleSmith - No party politics in muni gov is what makes it work. Towing the party lines like we see Prov and Fed govs do is proof that we do not want this at the municipal level. highriveronline.com/articles/high-…
Crown corps, more spending, more control: how Danielle Smith became a big believer in bigger government: cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
Danielle Smith has been caught in a lie. Again. This one is a whopper. Smith’s reckless and irresponsible renewables moratorium wasn’t requested by the system operator, after all. Instead, Smith was playing politics…at the expense of thousands of jobs and billions in investment.

ALBERTA NDP STAND WITH STUDENTS AGAINST DANIELLE SMITH’S BILL 18 CALGARY – In an open letter to Danielle Smith, Minister Rajan Sawhney, and Minister Nate Glubish, the University of Calgary and the University of Alberta Graduate Students’ Associations (GSA) called on the UCP to…
Head of Alberta Electric System Operator opposed wind/solar moratorium, said it would throw industry into “tailspin.” His cabinet-picked board chair said to “support the minister without reservation.” Great scoop and FOI work from @DrewPAnderson: thenarwhal.ca/alberta-renewa…
It is good and proper that this decision was reversed. It is clear that the UCP wants to punish Edmonton and Calgary, but they realized that going after low-income Albertans was not the way to do it.
However, there was no apology like Ralph Klein would have done. Instead, Jason Nixon continues to blame the cities
So the UCP prevents cities from generating revenue outside of property taxes, takes $ from property taxes, won't allow cities to access federal $ without UCP permission, and then blames them for not adequately funding services.
Alberta minister responsible for social services says he was unaware his dept cut funding for low-income transit passes in Calgary and Edmonton, despite his office justifying the decision one day earlier theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta… By @alanna_smithh #ableg #yyc #yeg #abpoli
Documents released under Alberta Freedom of Information laws confirm the UCP was talking with the coal industry for years about relaxing a policy that protected the Rocky Mountains from open-pit mines. #yyc trib.al/jaIflz4
🧵With the introduction of Bill 18 and the Alberta Premier's comments on federal funding being unfairly distributed to liberal disciplines, my research partner and I pulled the Social Science and Humanities Research Council funding data from the past 10 years.
Please see Carla's detailed thread on the tri-council granting process. Hint: the PMO is not involved.

While the province had telegraphed that it would apply to all agreements with municipalites, it actually is much wider and applies to all provincial entities. It goes beyond Quebec's legislation to include post-secondary institutions

Danielle Smith lied. She applied political pressure to a regulator whose purpose it is to serve the public. Sound familiar? Of course it does. Because this is who Danielle Smith is.
Again, Smith insisted multiple times that regulators - including AESO - asked for the pause. Here is proof that, in fact, the head of AESO found the pause “very troubling.” If you believe his org asked for the pause, I’ve got a unicorn to sell ya thenarwhal.ca/alberta-renewa… #ableg

Millions of dollars in renewable energy investments down the tubes because @ABDanielleSmith listened to ‘Five guys nodding their heads.’ 🤦♀️
Today Smith was asked about her blatant lies about AESO asking for the renewables pause... Her response? "Ok, look, maybe it wasn't AESO, but this one time I did a tour & asked 5 technicians if the power grid would work better if it was more stable & they all nodded" #abpoli
At this point it’s safe to say everything Smith said about the renewables pause was a flat out lie. Which begs an important question… How can Albertans believe anything Smith or the UCP say about coal mining? Are you angry yet? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
SCOOP: The Alberta gov said its renewables pause came after a request from the Alberta Electric System Operator, but emails show the operator’s top official found the plan ‘very troubling’ and was ‘not comfortable’ supporting it. @DrewPAnderson reports thenarwhal.ca/alberta-renewa…
Danielle Smith wants to control everything. Every decision made & $ spent to ensure no one does anything she doesn't like. Putting her political interests ahead of the people's is bad for our democracy, for our public services, for our economy, for Alberta as a whole. #ableg
Bills 18 & 20 are about UCP centralizing power in the provincial government. Emails that @DrewPAnderson obtained also show that the UCP is putting pressure on arms-length agencies (AUC & AESO). Combined with recent changes that further politicizes the AER.
This is an important point. Continual assault on the truth and even basic facts in AB has numbed us to the effects. Democracy is taking a beating.
Someone needs to inform the Premier of Alberta that truth is not just a pebble on the trail. Truth lives at the peak of the mountain. When the truth takes a tumble, democracy is damaged. Real people get hurt.
When serial lying goes unpunished, democracy finds a place to die. As children we were taught morals. Cheaters never prosper, was one I remember so well. Our elders knew that if telling falsehoods beat a path to riches, the common people would be the poorer for it.
This is a really important read by my pal @DrewPAnderson. Made all the more 🔥 when you re-watch the video from the press conference in which Smith doubles down on the AESO asking for the renewables pause. Here, I’ve clipped it for you 😊 #ableg #cdnpoli

In a nutshell this is why a demagogue's message requires serious/sober reflection. There is a reason why constitutional traditions need protection. Equal rights are not toys that can be taken away by some squalid pol plundering our constitution. This is Canada. Equal means equal.
People like me didn’t have equal rights until the Charter. Within my lifetime. So, I am vigilant about those rights. What Pierre Poilievre said this week about minority rights, the notwithstanding clause and the Charter is chilling.
