While Danielle Smith distracts you by slamming the carbon tax...

...she is raising your taxes by reinstating the 13 cent fuel tax...

...and taking away the tax cut she promised you.

Naheed Nenshi is growing the big tent—he’s serious, and so is Rakhi Pancholi—about including ALL Albertans.

Because the TBA-controlled UCP is only catering to a tiny, wealthy, fossil fuel owner, Christian, white, bigoted minority against the interests of the vast majority of Albertans.

Join and vote for Nenshi at: https://nenshi.ca

Who thinks the UCP's next big move will be a tax on bicycles because they weigh more than a truck and cause too much wear and tear on pathways?

There’s a special hell for women who deny other women autonomy over their own bodies. Just saying, Danielle and Adriana.

When Nenshi was first elected, he said he was the Mayor for ALL Calgarians, including those didn’t vote for him.

Smith is only premier for a tiny group of TBA ideological extremists.

She only has 12 out of 46 seats in Calgary & Edmonton.

For those who are just tuning in, Harper hasn't been Prime Minister for nearly a decade, and does not represent Canada or Canadian interests in any official way whatsoever.

Harper flew to Israel to support Netanyehu and meet with his Minister of Foreign Affairs. Why? #cdnpoli

Battle of Alberta 2024:
The UCP and the fossil fuel companies versus farmers, ranchers, growers, and the rest of us.

Watch the UCP impose water restrictions on us but not them.

Trudeau and his Minister of Housing just announced $176 million in housing deals for more than 60 small towns and rural communities.

Meanwhile Pierre Pollievre is attacking reporters for asking questions, and Danielle Smith is attacking trans kids for existing.

“It is almost certain that Smith’s pronoun-consent policies will "out" children and teens to disapproving or abusive parents. And it is certain that the leader’s health care bans will deny trans people the medical care they require to live in dignity.”

Is the UCP going to rubber stamp Smith / Parker's anti-trans, anti-sex-ed, anti-LGBTQ, anti-choice policies?

"Ninety years ago this summer, in August 1934, Adolf Hitler mandated that all German government officials pledge their loyalty to him instead of to the country’s constitution.

Legislative bodies under dictators are often ceremonial, giving the appearance of a check on authority when in reality they are a rubber stamp for the dictator’s edicts." --Dan Rather

We are about to lose what we hold dear in this place, Alberta.
Unless you stand up and speak out, we are on the cusp of losing trans and LGBTQ rights, women’s reproductive rights, minority rights, water rights, forests, watersheds—and trust in data, science, medicine, public education, public healthcare, public service, trusted news sources.

Talk to your friends and family. Write and call your representatives. Go to rallies, organize, protest.

MAGA politics run this province now. It’s real.
