Thank you from my donor who said they're unhappy that Danielle Smith wasted $80M of taxpayers' $ on generic drugs. They said they didn't have $80M but could chip in $80 for my campaign! Thank you! ♥️

Fantastic statement by my talented colleague @pancholi_rakhi ! @ABDanielleSmith & @Alberta_UCP complain lots about interference from Ottawa but seem to have no problem meddling in local municipal affairs. Bill 20 is bad for all Albertans - urban & rural. #abpoli #ableg #yyc

From filling potholes to naming parks, the UCP’s Bill 20 shows Albertans that no issue is too small for big government intervention. To Alberta’s municipal leaders: good luck getting the UCP Cabinet to do their jobs because they’ll be too busy doing yours!

Wait, so did the justice ministry pre-emptively explain to Danielle Smith that she couldn't grant amnesty as she claimed in estimates, or did she task them to come back with a later answer, as she says here? She can't even get her story straight while getting her story straight.

Premier Danielle Smith asked how she justifies talking to the likes of Artur Pawlowski about his criminal case but no other Albertans get that. Smith says it shouldn't be a surprise because she ran on talking about amnesty on COVID-related cases. #yeg #yyc #ableg

We won’t just cut the small business tax, we will eliminate it completely. This move will support aspiring entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams and save local Alberta small business owners up to $10,000 per year.

You don't need to be an economist to understand that dollars you *don't* collect in revenue definitely can't fund schools — or anything. Unless Jason is proposing to raise personal taxes to make up for his corporate tax handout? 🤔 What about all the CBE kids, Jason?
