How much has the UCP stolen from Alberta? Here’s the breakdown below ⬇️
Even though it is McLovin Monday and it's supposed to be my reset day - I present you a short list. Yeah, this is nothing really. There's so much more. So very f*cking much. A tally has to separate what's documented from what's alleged. So every line below has its source, and the total is at the bottom. Counted? Dollars paid or spent that I can source, at least partly in smith's term. Not counted? Estimates, ceilings, plans, allegations, and anything that may overlap another line. COUNTED Referendum, Oct 19 vote, per Elections Alberta: $84M (CP, Nov 5) Province's own referendum ad campaign: $4M (province's figure, CTV/CP, Sept 10) Pain medication paid for, never delivered: $42M as of Oct 31, 2025 (RSM, Wyant's accountants, via CBC) or $49M (credit with the supplier, CP, Dec 2024). Two sources, so a range. AHS severance, 150 former employees, 2019 to June 2025: about $29.45M (Tyee, Feb 3). Starts under Kenney. SCRIGLEY'S ADDITIONS, NOT COUNTED (1 of 2) War room: created under Kenney, run under Smith until it was folded into Intergovernmental Relations on June 11, 2024 (Global). Its 2023 annual report shows about $22M on ads in 2021-22, Kenney's years. The NDP says $66M+ since 2019. I couldn't verify that. Addiction centres: $291M over 3 years for two 150-bed centres. A budget, not spending. SCRIGLEY'S ADDITIONS, NOT COUNTED (2 of 2) Numbered US companies: Kenney era. Up to $7M in costs per a provincial audit (The Narwhal, 2022). Not re-read today. Town halls, tours, re-litigating the federal government: no cost found. LUCY'S LIST, NOT COUNTED (1 of 2) $59M the committee approved Nov 5 (CP): extra funding, not a second cost. It may include 2027 prep. AHS breakup: "estimated to cost $85M" (CP, May 2024). Estimate, no breakdown. MHCare: roughly $614M in AHS business since 2020 (Globe, Oct 13). Supplier revenue, not a documented loss. Referendum promotion: $365K+ in FOI fees, $300K+ website, up to $1.5M analysis (Nenshi, CP, Jul 23). May overlap the $4M. LUCY'S LIST, NOT COUNTED (2 of 2) Licence plates: Nally expects $25K to $50K, up to $2M (CP, Oct 2025). "Booze cruise": NDP alleges $5,400+ in Kentucky. One outlet, unconfirmed. AISH/ADAP, environment: policy changes, no dollar line. TOTALS Counted lines only: $84M + $4M + $42M + $29.45M = $159.45M With $49M for the pain medication instead of $42M: $84M + $4M + $49M + $29.45M = $166.45M So $159.45M to $166.45M. JUST FROM THIS TINY GROUPING. The range exists because the pain medication sources disagree. Nothing from the "not counted" lists is in it. Of course a caveat. This is a ledger of costs, not a count of corruption or a loss figure. The lines are different things, and one starts under Kenney. My humble opinion? ucp do nothing but consistently waste our taxpayer money. DISMANTLE THE ucp NOW. 🤗💖

Stop trying to whitewash this b!tch. We know who she is and it’s not pretty inside or outside. #BrideOfKrasnov
Amazon announced a two-part docu-series focused on first lady Melania Trump’s return to D.C. in 2025, saying the program will provide “unprecedented insight” into her life. The program, titled “Melania, The Series,” will begin airing Nov. 20 on Prime Video. wapo.st/486ycm3

#Krasnov has limited time left to execute his handler’s agenda #PutinsBitch
“The authoritarian playbook has no chapter on failure. It has no pages on how to deal with becoming a national disgrace, someone who is pelted with tomatoes and eggs when he appears in public after leaving office, like Augusto Pinochet, or forced into exile, like Idi Amin. Aging, defeat, and the ebbing of virile powers are difficult for leaders whose “entire sense of self is bound up in being revered,” in psychological profiler Jerrold Post’s words. Watch carefully who is elevated in this period. Hegseth might seem a perfect candidate for a dismissal, so the Iran War can be blamed on him, but he too is a fanatic, and unlike Miller, he is an Evangelical Christian —a voting bloc that turned out in large numbers for Republicans— and a holy warrior who would not hesitate to deploy the military for domestic repression should martial law be proclaimed (for example). So he is useful. Second, look for much more overt collaborations with foreign autocrats, starting with the Russians. Like vultures circling their prey, the Russians are losing no time in making sure lame duck Trump fulfills his duties to them. Trump may no longer have the affections of many Americans, but he can still be a useful tool for America’s enemies.” lucid.substack.com/p/magas-l…

Cancer slowed President Biden down. It didn’t stop him from showing up for his son. Joe and Jill flew to Ireland today to watch Hunter receive the Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution to Public Discourse. I love this for them ❤️

Jon Ossoff welcomes James Talarico to the Hill. Love the class, kindness, and energy these two bring to Congress.

More stupidity and political theatre from the most immature dumbass MP in the ReformaCon caucus. Were you thinking about sex when spewing out this absolute horseshit? Get a life and a brain, and STOP LYING, little Garney-boy!

Here’s another clip of a woman reading Trump’s words verbatim from a recent rally in Mississippi that puts a giant magnifying glass over how gone he is cognitively and unfit he is for office.

PP projecting his reality! I remember Costanza pretends he’s still working at his old job after getting fired in Seinfeld episode "The Revenge". Just like when Carleton voted PP’s sorry a** out, he lost seat/riding/LOO status/election but PP squatted/pretended he was still LOO 🤣

Speaking of getting things done in the real world, should we look at what @PierrePoilievre has ever done either out in the "real world," or even as an MP???

.@PierrePoilievre thinks he has a “gotcha” comparing PM @MarkJCarney to George Costanza, saying he tries to look busy but gets nothing done in the real world. “Well, this guy talks like Kramer. He just walks into the room every time and says something weird.” @StevenMacKinnon
