Full house in Lethbridge to talk about UCP gerrymandering.
The people in Lethbridge know voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around.

Albertans paid for Dale Nally’s Kentucky booze cruise, and somehow the husband of his chief of staff — a failed UCP nomination candidate — got to tag along on the taxpayer dime.
Nothing says government business quite like 11 distillery stops for the minister, his chief of staff and her husband.
ALT Sorry, I can't help with identifying or describing people in the image.

7000 more votes in urban constituencies than rural!
But each constituency only gets one seat.
Brought to you by the government that just held a referendum predicated on insufficient representation in the senate…

For my own riding of Edmonton-Riverview, our riding has been absorbed into the four surrounding ridings. Basically, it’s been eliminated.
On average Edmonton ridings have 7000 more voters than rural ridings. This means that urban voters are being robbed of their voice. The UCP-gerrymandered boundaries are intended to weaken votes cast in Edmonton.

When pressed on her Gerrymandering...
Smith blamed...
Greg Clark?
While it's true that Clark advocated for more seats, Smith seems to be taking his recommendations wildly out of context...
@GregClarkAB?

Paging Alberta...
Why make patents wait on lists for specific specialists? Create centralized lists so patients get to see the next available expert in their area ctvnews.ca/toronto/article/o…

As a proud Canadian living in Alberta, I expect completely fair elections. Regardless of our political leanings, we should all be deeply offended by the UCP's attempts to introduce American-style gerrymandering into our electoral process.

✨A huge thank you to the lovely @according2_taz for the shout out in her video today ❤️
And I highly recommend you watch the amazing round-up she did of The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh’s visit to Finland last week!

Excellent interview 👇
Children in pain, waiting more than a week for emergency surgery. Alberta’s healthcare system is overwhelmed, says ER physician @Dr_Paul_Parks, who’s leaving the front lines of medicine to enter politics and push for a system overhaul. #abpoli #RealTalkRJ

Danielle Smith is a cheater.
The UCP is redrawing Alberta’s electoral maps to make it easier for themselves to win elections.
Albertans are supposed to choose their government. Danielle Smith wants to cheat to make sure they choose hers.

Gerrymandering has no place in our democracy!
The UCP's political common interest should NEVER determine electoral boundaries.
Boundaries must reflect:
✅ Community needs
✅ Shared similarities
✅ Local services
The majority report factored all these but the UCP is ignoring to just pick their voters.
STOP the redrawing and simply ACCEPT the majority report.

Former Alberta Medical Association president Dr. Paul Parks says after years of trying to collaborate with province to improve the health-care system, the experience left him with the impression the UCP isn't interested in getting front-line expertise.

$70 MILLION BUCKS - A SOLE-SOURCED CONTRACT AND QUESTIONS THE UCP STILL WON'T ANSWER.
Seven weeks after taking office, the UCP government directed AHS to sign a $70-million Tylenol deal involving MHCare, with millions paid up front.
Now we have serious questions about a competing proposal that may have offered faster delivery, at a lower cost, and without MHCare's $10-million administration fee.
Who made the decision to tank that proposal, and why?
Meanwhile, court documents confirm an ongoing RCMP criminal investigation into procurement practices at Alberta Health and AHS, involving the offences of fraud, breach of trust and money laundering.
Today, I pressed the government for answers.
Why does MHCare remain an active bidder on government contracts? What was the involvement of the Premier's office in hiring relatives of MHCare's principal to work in government ministries? And has MHCare or any of its affiliates received further government contracts?
Unfortunately, today wasn't Disclosure Day but I feel its coming.

Nearly 1 million Albertans depend on federal programs like the Canadian Dental Care Plan to access services they rely on.
The UCP is prepared to pull the rug out from under those Albertans by withdrawing from a program that makes dental care more affordable.
Albertans voted against opting out of federal programs in the referendum. This government needs to respect that decision.
Dr. Lola Jean Stewart retweeted
The UCP drew a map. They couldn't get it past an independent boundaries commission, who recommended a different one after public input.
The UCP tore up that map and is imposing their own, without public consultation.
They want you to believe this is normal. It's not.
