Where are the UCP diehards defending this? Come on I want to know the spin as to why this absolutely ridiculous government is directly punching down on our 25,000 most vulnerable neighbours. #yegcc #yegtransit #yyccc #yyctransit #abpoli

UCP plan seems obvious at this point. Defund cities to increase misery, blame it on the councils, restrict their ability to take recourse, tell voters that parties will fix everything, and if that fails, give yourself the power to remove councillors and revoke bylaws. #yeg #ableg
A long term plan for commuter rail is good, but it’s also a shiny thing that the UCP are waving to try and distract from Bill 20 and the attack on local democracy. Stay focused, Alberta.
What we risk losing, among other things, is the ability for those with little resources but bright & thoughtful ideas, to rise above the well connected & established. Participation in muni politics has remained fairly accessible in the past compared to other levels of gov. #ABLeg

The answers, said Miller, were an overwhelming no from all corners of the province. “This is the only level of government that is non-partisan. And it has to stay that way,” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli lakelandtoday.ca/local-news/may…
Today was the Day of Mourning for workers hurt, injured, or killed on the job. In 2023 Alberta lost 165 workers due to work-related in injury. That's 165 too many. Demand safer workplaces. Demand better for our fellow workers & loved ones. We can do better. #DayOfMourning
ICYMI, yesterday the UCP introduced Bill 20, a wide reaching piece of legislation that would have massive impacts on municipalities. These changes would include political parties at the municipal level, and the ability of the provincial government to remove elected officials at…
Bill 20 is serious. It is a dismantling of municipal authority. Elections and local democracies are being undermined by the province with zero forethought regarding the dangerous consequences down the road. Or maybe it is, and that is an even more deeply troubling thought.
Want more division in politics? Want our leaders voting along party lines instead of for what's best for their constituents? Here we go.

@ahouse4all I used to think a version of this. (Not bad ppl, but ppl who made bad decisions). Then I ended up homeless in my early 20s b/c of an abusive relationship. It opened my eyes not only b/c it had happened to me, but b/c I got to meet & talk w ppl who had been homeless a while.
"Simply put, the one major revenue source for municipalities — property taxes — is an inefficient and unsuitable mechanism to handle the increasingly complex social issues that cities are being asked to manage." #YEG #YYC #ABLeg edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…

@cspotweet (That rainy day was called COVID)
Two things can be true. Calgary and Edmonton could have done better to save for a rainy day to avoid a tough budget. The Alberta government could have done better to save for a rainy day to avoid a tough budget
Two things can be true. The Alberta government is not paying its fair share to municipalities The federal government is not paying its fair share to Alberta
Two things can be true The city of Edmonton's $82M electric bus investment turned into a boondoggle. The Alberta government's $1.3B investment in Keystone XL turned into a boondodggle.
Blatchford currently has a district energy utility and a new LRT station - a “critical mass-transit connection” for 30,000 future residents. These infrastructure investments should be utilized to the fullest in as short a time period as can reasonably be implemented.
Working on a motion to move Blatchford development much, much faster. Blatchford lands are a prime location with major infrastructure investments. Expediting sales of land and the subsequent development will add to the city budget now and with ongoing sustainability. #yegcc
Things have spun entirely out of control in Alberta. The healthcare crisis, attacks on higher education and municipalities, power shortages, droughts and fires. But what I feel for the first time in a long time is also that the momentum is shifting. The people have had enough.
How am I coping with growing hopelessness and enormity of society problems today? By donating 4 art pieces for a local nonprofits silent auction fundraiser! Please go to the @NoPeriodWithout fundraiser on May 26 and drop $$$ on my artwork ok? 🙏
At a time when Edmontonians are struggling to afford their basic needs and demand for this program has increased 150 per cent since 2016, the decision to defund this program in Edmonton and Calgary shows that the Province’s priorities are in the wrong place.

@markusoff This UCP government, and especially their leader, have a vendetta against the two biggest cities for rejecting them (entirely in Edmonton, significantly in Calgary). Much of the policy directed our way is punitive rather than to improve anything or help anyone.

Sorry, @NateHornerAB - AIMco is a provincial embarrassment. #handsoffourcpp Ps - ordered my sign 😁
You work hard for your pension. It’s yours. Not the UCP’s. Teachers deserve better. All Albertans deserve better. Say it with me: HANDS OFF OUR CPP! (And don’t forget to grab a lawn sign at albertasfuture.ca/hands-off-our-… 🪧) #ableg #abed

I'm so glad that I haven't seen any of the men I'm mutuals with on this app excusing or minimizing sexual assault.
We don’t need a bloody railroad right now. We don’t need a provincial police force. We don’t need Smith trying to steal our CPP. We need doctors. We need a functioning healthcare system. We need new schools. We need autonomous cities and towns. WE DON’T NEED DANIELLE SMITH!!!!!!!
It feels like UCP has a bag of ‘good news distraction carrots’ to pull out whenever we’re extra mad at them. These are ‘announcements’ that are likely to be well-received..They may or may not ever materialize, but at least they (temporarily) distract us. 1/3
