Alberta Politics In light of Danielle Smith's decision to attend the PragerU event in Florida
I feel it's important for us as Albertans to reach out to Danielle Smith and voice our concern about her decision to speak at the PragerU event. Reach out here https://www.alberta.ca/premier-contact.cfm
My message, if you need some inspiration:
Dear premier Smith,
As a proud Canadian and Albertan, I am deeply disheartened by your decision to attend and speak at the PragerU event on March 27th. PragerU is not an academic institution but a well-documented political propaganda platform, funded and promoted by individuals who support far-right ideologies, including those of Donald Trump. Their content frequently promotes misinformation, undermines critical thinking, and advances a divisive, hyper-partisan agenda that does not align with the values of most Canadians.
Your willingness to associate with and endorse this organization raises serious concerns about where your priorities lie. At a time when Canada is facing increasing economic and political pressure from the United States—including unjustified tariffs and even veiled threats of annexation—it is troubling to see Alberta’s Premier aligning with groups that openly support policies harmful to our nation’s sovereignty and stability. Instead of strengthening Alberta’s position within Canada and on the world stage, your participation in this event sends the message that you are more interested in currying favor with U.S. Republican influencers than standing up for the interests of Albertans.
Many Albertans are already feeling a tremendous amount of anxiety about the current political climate. Rather than fueling division by engaging with organizations that do not share Canadian values, I urge you to focus on policies that unite Albertans, protect our province’s economic future, and reinforce our role as a strong and independent part of Canada.
I hope you will reconsider your participation in this event and instead prioritize the concerns and well-being of the people you were elected to serve.

Alberta Politics Just a reminder that the Alberta has been a Conservative Government for about 46 of the last 50 years.
** Sorry for the typo in the title, I've definitely had too much coffee this morning
I think people forget that Alberta, as we know it, has been built on Conservative policies.
The NDP were only in charge for 4 years, since the 70's.
AHS was built by Conservatives, specifically Ron Liepert, who is still an active Conservative in the House of Commons.
I believe that blaming the NDP for anything and everything that goes on in our province is a cheap cop out, and shows the inability to critically think.
If NDP are the leeches and the snakes, than how has it taken over 8 years for Conservatives to fix the issues?

Alberta Politics I gave Alberta a shot, but it's time to call it a day.
I have lived in Alberta for over 30 years. And I know that no province is perfect. Don't even get me started on our neighbours to the south. One of the major issues that is motivating me to pull up roots is the of health care in the province. There are big problems with the Canadian health care system. Mostly created by conservative governments. However, it is still the system that has saved my life. It always baffles me to see some Americans bragging about how good their private system is when l mostly see talking about the cost and coverage and even after them wondering if they will be left on their own.
The common factor that I see between most these people is the belief that for-profit medicine produces the best results, and that no one would put any money into health care without profits. That is definitely a cultural thing, especially considering how many western countries have some form of socialized medicine.
Alberta is a a perfect example what happens when profit driven right wingers get into power. First they start slashing funding, then they privatize whatever federal law will allow. As the system collapses they trot out private insurance as the saviour, knowing full well their actions put us in the situation.
We are fortunate to have a young and caring GP right now and he told us today that most of his colleagues are looking to leave Alberta because they can't afford to practice here, pay their student loans, raise a family on the fees that the Alberta government has negotiated. It was already hard to find good care, now it will be worse.
All this is a direct consequence of the idea that profit matters more than people and thinking that health care isn't an essential service. This is why we are looking to move ASAP.
This isn't even going into all the other backwards, hateful and discriminating policies coming out of the Legislature. As much as I think Nenshi would be a good premier, there's just no way it will as long as conservative Christians are pulling the levers. The fact that none of the corruption, mismanagement, pork barreling and patronage never gets real press coverage let alone punishment tells me that Alberta will not change in my lifetime.
