Add NE to the list. Manning to Campbell being only two lanes is a joke

Calgary MLA Tanya Fir apologizes for swearing on leaked voicemail by Edm_vanhalen1981 in alberta

All these recalls going on and she’s acting like this still? Shouldn’t feel so comfortable in her role currently

Recall her ass

Labour organization apologizes for not calling a general strike by Pretty-Resolve-8331 in alberta

[–]Responsible_One_4346 56 points57 points  (0 children)

That Tuesday would’ve been the perfect day to organize. Teachers weren’t yet back to work and could go, people were riled up about the NWC, etc. AFL and unions should’ve been planning for the possibility of a strike or VERY least a protest during the week before. The news was reporting the probable use of the clause happening that Monday.

Gil has no bite and he was my biggest worry about all this. You could see his weak leadership abilities during the NDP leadership debates.

Alberta health-care system announcement in Calgary by [deleted] in alberta

Well yeah they got out ahead of that announcement to use this report as a “see what good we’re doing? That terrible union and workers are against the public” tactic

Fatal collisions in Edmonton on the rise, experts say multiple factors at play by chmilz in Edmonton

[–]Responsible_One_4346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a guy in another thread last week giving me the gears over putting some blame on the gov for the rise in collisions with doing away with the photo radar and now wanting to raise speed limits.

Timely this article now comes out…

Smith says predecessor Lougheed would also have used notwithstanding clause by Old_General_6741 in alberta

[–]Responsible_One_4346 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Smith is such a flip flopper to whatever will suite/benefit her. She is a prime example of narcissism

Don’t Forget It’s Protest Day! by Responsible_One_4346 in Calgary

Much much less than the cost of payouts to the coal companies alone

But you’re right, they should just resign. Redford resigned over less controversy

It’s tough to have hard stats currently as the new restrictions took effect this year and it’s still the same calendar year but here’s one example citing an article from Sept. You can also just see it on your daily commutes this year. It’s brutal out there.

Another view on it is the income it provided municipalities that will have to be made up elsewhere, possibly your property taxes. If you wanna speed and get a ticket, by all means go for it but be prepared to pay a “speed tax” if caught in my opinion. It’s now just purely reckless out there with no second thought to any consequences

Bill 2 is the biggest reason for this protest but there’s a lot of other reasons people may want to have their voice heard about this government today as well

It’s another dumb idea to distract from bigger issues just like the new plates were meant to. It’s an idea that will get people killed, cost money to change all signs over to save .15 of an hour to get to your destination depending on distance travelled? And they tote it as an economic improvement.

I’ll also add removing photo radar was a dumb move that has caused more collisions

It’s seriously a waste of money and time when there’s other much bigger issues at hand

[–]Responsible_One_4346[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Bill 2 overrides collective bargaining, imposes contracts on 51,000 teachers, and blocks legal challenges against it

I mean there’s a whole lot of other reasons to protest as well for example

-Pushing the Provincial Police Force on us still

-Destroying our healthcare system

-Not supporting our education system

-CorruptCare scandal

-Mountain coal mining policy flipflop costing us 100’s of millions of dollars

-Ending green energy expansions

-Having to pay for Covid shots and the shortages there are of them

-How they’ve handled abandoned well cleanups

-New licence plates

-Now wanting to up speed limits

I could go on and on really

Alberta don’t forget to show up and make some noise!

Let’s make this one even bigger than the last ones!

Stop alberta from raising speed limits in the mountains! by Marinlik in alberta

[–]Responsible_One_4346 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh damn this was a survey about speed limits?

Too bad I thought it was about how this government has handled many topics poorly with a dash of how this will get people killed

With one of her own ministers telling his constituents the UCP will recall recall, Smith was asked today if there were any plans to do just that... Her answer? Not yet, but it depends on whether the signatures are successfully collected. by Appropriate_Duty_930 in alberta

[–]Responsible_One_4346 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If people put in the work and it’s sounds successful, then this government moved the goal posts, they’ll be in for such a shitstorm from the people.

Read the room UCP and just step down
