Populists don’t just win by mobilizing their base — they win by convincing everyone else that their base is bigger and more mainstream than it actually is. That’s the core of the populist playbook: make a small, loud group look universal so everyone else stays quiet.

Alberta just quietly cancelled $430M in private surgical deals tied to Sam Mraiche — the same deals the former AHS CEO says she was fired for questioning. A procurement official owned stakes in the clinics he negotiated. Prices were inflated. Conflicts everywhere. They didn’t

Thanks, @ChristinaNDP, this is an extremely important question. Hundreds of thousands of Alberta workers and pensioners suffered losses to their retirement savings because of AIMCo’s reckless VOLTs strategy. Now the UCP is passing a law to shield AIMCo of accountability. Shame!
A few years ago the UCP took control of several major pension funds & forced them to let AIMCo control their investments. AIMCo then lost billions on what became known as the VOLTS scandal. 1/2🧶 #ABPoli #ABLeg #Bill12

“the tickets came from Sam Jaber, who is on Invest Alberta’s board. The Premier subsequently confirmed that account. The Globe has since obtained a copy of MHCare’s 2022 organizational chart, which shows Mr. Jaber is the company’s chief financial officer”

My father once told me the secret to a happy marriage. “Stay out of the kitchen. Let her handle the holidays.” I was 19. He was in his recliner. My mother was cooking for 14 people. She’d been up since 5 AM. He’d been up since the football pregame. I didn’t think anything

We don’t need an expert to know that when there’s one cashier open at Tim Hortons and you offer to pay to jump the line, there’s still a line. Albertans vehemently reject Adriana’s late-stage capitalist ideas that she’s grossly pitching as “new era”. #ableg #abhealth
Experts agree: dual-practice is a win for Canada’s health care system. Our province is taking bold steps to fix what’s broken and deliver timely, high quality care for Albertans, when and where they need it. In a new era of health care, we’re preserving universal access while

Between AimCo, Dynalife, Turkish Tylenol, and settlement with mining companies, the @Alberta_UCP has WASTED over 2.2 BILLION dollars! Money burned for ideology and policy nobody asked or voted for. Imagine what 2.2 billion would do for Healthcare, or Education. #FireTheUCP

“We don’t hear from doctors offices or hospitals or elsewhere that misuse of health cards is an issue they’re experiencing ... If you add a piece of bureaucracy to it, that’s a barrier for some people. We have a lot of questions": FOM's Chris Gallaway. https://t.co/yl4pub0QPl

Remember when a premier and most of her party went down due to under $2 million dollars in frivolous spending? Those were the days. I miss accountability. A UCP MLA broke election law yesterday and we just called it Monday.

If there's a long line at Tim's the last thing to do is pull a regular employee to open a premium line for those paying an extra $100. Few can afford it. Other employees migrate to the premium line - making the common line longer. Same in healthcare. One line. Add employees.

You want to change the rules in the middle of the game? A game that Albertans are playing by rules you legislated? @ABDanielleSmith @Alberta_UCP Try it. Just try it. You think Albertans are angry now? Wait for it.

The list: 1 - ban books 2 - attack the lgtbq community 3 - legitimize fake news (Jordan Peterson bill) 4 - go after DEI 5 - attack minorities If you don’t recognize “the list” it is the list of things MAGA Red states have done in the USA. All following Ron DeSantis in Florida.

We caught the UCP red-handed. We asked Public Safety & Emergency Services for any correspondence between Min. Ellis & the Edmonton Police Commission. They told us - twice - there was none. We asked the Commission & got 130 pages incl. 5 letters signed by Ellis. #ableg

Hopefully @RCMPAlberta
@TheBreakdownAB Anyone remember when Thomas Dang hacked Covid-19 vaccination records using Kenney’s data? And the consequences that he faced and accepted. Will there be similiar accountability by the UCP for Nally accessing private info?

The thing about telling lies on the floor of the legislature is that they are recorded verbatim appear in Hansard forever.
