Nov 10 2021: Danielle Smith said that political leaders had "ruined" the Remembrance Day poppy for her because of pandemic public health rules.
In the same conversation, she compared vaccinated Canadians to followers of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany.

Two great stops this week with UCP members.
Started in Innisfail-Sylvan Lake with MLA Devin Dreeshen @DevinDVote, then headed to Drayton Valley-Devon to join MLA Andrew Boitchenko @AndrewBoitchenk. Great rooms both times, full of members who give up their evenings and weekends because they care about where this province is going.
These folks are the backbone of our movement. Thank you to Devin, Andrew and every volunteer who made these events happen. Let's keep building.

Danielle Smith acolyte confirms that First Past The Post does not evenly match seats to popular vote, but thinks answer is to dilute troublesome progressive ridings.
Peter, give your old boss Preston Manning a call. His Premier Daddy gave Alberta this system. #ableg
Again:
In 2023, the UCP won 53% to 44%.
But had it been just 1% different (UCP 52% to NDP 45%), the NDP would have won.
So under the current boundaries, the NDP can win with just 45% of the vote!
This is because drawing ridings along municipal boundaries packs conservatives into fewer rural ridings and artificially makes the NDP more competitive in the cities.
Removing an existing gerrymander is not gerrymandering.
Now, if the UCP went far further, and made it so that the UCP would win even if they only got 45% while the NDP got 52%, then yes that absolutely would be gerrymandering.
But that’s not what’s happening here.

.@ABDanielleSmith it is interesting that now Jeff Rath is inconvenient and unworthy of a UCP membership, yet few months ago you text messaged him and guided him on how to achieve his separatist agenda.
Separatist MLAs are OK because you need your slim majority.

If my calculations are correct, I’ll get a $5.00 credit for my 2027 education tax. Whoopee, after a 13% increase in 2026!
@JasonNixonAB couldn’t come up with a decent plan to save his soul! How are these clowns still in government?

Chief Electoral Officer McClure on pg. 3 recommends the Legislature consider approving one of two possible approaches.
Not gonna lie...approach #2 can not stand. Extending the term of this horrible UCP government to implement gerrymandered electoral maps is 100% wrong. #abpoli

@ABDanielleSmith needs gerrymandering to win the next election.
She needs the time to reinvent herself…slither out of the snakeskin once again.
She’ll grab onto Election AB’s option to delay the election…again.
May/28
Here’s hoping the law gets her first.

This is insanity.
Danielle Smith’s refusal to accept the original electoral boundaries so she could try and gerrymander the election has EA saying they don’t have enough time with any new boundaries.
Smith continues to put herself first and Albertans last.

“The province will restore less than 10 per cent of spectacular tax grab, which resulted from the province raising the education property tax rate by 21 per cent”

It’s not a tax break. Danielle Smith is extending her property tax hike to 2030.
Or as @DonBraid put it:
“Fiscal abuse…(The UCP) believe they can bang taxpayers over the head for years, and then make it all better with an ice pack.” #ableg #cdnpoli

Govt booting @JeffreyRWRath for conduct breaches.
Is @DevinDVote gone for “day drinking” in the Leg? @EricBouchardAB for holding town halls for misinformation?
@DaleNally_AB for illegally accessing voter records?
@ABDanielleSmith for lying, fraud, corruption? @UCPCaucus

Thank you Danielle Smith for freezing property taxes after Danielle Smith raised them

Absolutely hilarious. Courting him and his minions until after the referendum. Now launching him into the sun to try and save herself. After having changed the rules 3X for him. Having two options as a question. We see you Premier. We know who you are.

Traditionally conservative governments were known for less government not more but Danielle Smith is trying to legislate every aspect of our lives to distract us from what she’s actually doing. Alberta BEWARE!
Michele retweeted
Like fuck she did
She TRIPLED the Provincial portion of property taxes in her time

While the UCP ignore critical needs like building schools, hospitals, & addressing affordability, suddenly they have a new priority nobody wants :
standardized report card
Theses are not a priority for parents or teachers & will do nothing to improve class sizes or complexity.

I am non-partisan.
The Notley NDP government was by every measure the most competent, effective, honest provincial government Alberta had since the Lougheed era.
Forget your partisan mythology, vote rationally for capable, honest people committed to public service #abpoli

I hear this was disastrous policy in the 1970’s and made voters angry AF after the first winter; enough that Richard Nixon reversed it after a single year.
Maybe it’ll give the UCP another bad UCP policy to run on reversing.
