UCP: Do you want an Alberta Pension and an Alberta Police force? Albertans: No. UCP: How about now? Albertans: No. UCP: What about after watching all this propaganda? Albertans: Still no. UCP: (in news dump on Friday before Christmas) So that looks like a yes, then.

Alberta's declining COVID-19 vaccination rate is sparking more concern as it becomes clear how uptake in the province compares to other parts of the country.

Smith running away to Mar-a-lago or Panama..Wonder if we'll see her doing another interview from her couch..
The government dropped this on a Friday, before many take the Christmas break. The premier is also leaving the country and there are no public events scheduled for her or her ministers for at least 21 days

This is an absolute, shameless LIE! It’s not a ‘falsehood’ or ‘misinformation’. Say it for what it truly is … A LIE by the leader of the official opposition in the House of Commons. Global economists agree, grocery prices are rising in most countries around the world. #cdnpoli

Thomas Jefferson repeatedly argued that a functioning democracy depends on an educated citizenry. He believed self-government would fail if people were ignorant, because they could be misled or manipulated.
