Danielle Smith is going to cover Alberta's postsecondary institutions in reams of red tape -- all in the name of promoting a form of ideological and intellectual affirmative action.

And you thought Jason Kenney's war on expertise was bad. #cdnpoli

Danielle Smith is a Libertarian who claims to believe in free speech -- and will now apply ideological purity tests to post-secondary research and demand intellectual affirmative action at universities.

It's hypocrisy all the way down. #cdnpoli #abpoli

Why can’t the Minister answer my question?

How many firefighters, dispatchers and support staff are currently deployed and how many are waiting to be trained? #abpoli #abfire #ableg

'Indeed, Bill 18 is a childish overreach by an unserious government that is too captive to the ritual of belligerence to see how its own gravitational weight crushes those around it.'

A court order demands the UCP disclose coal mining documents to landowners. But they don't want to... This government has forgotten that they were elected to serve Albertans. If Albertans have questions, they should answer them. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

These folks have been waiting FOUR YEARS for this information they're entitled to. Gritty ranchers, indeed. Hell, yeah. What exactly about this coal business does our AB govt not want us to see?

“Grant funding should always be free of political interference…

When the [UCP gov’t] states that it wants to align research funding with provincial priorities, it risks colouring research coming from Alberta post-secondary institutions as propaganda.” #ableg

Thank you W Andy Knight Rhiannon Hoyle Rachel Notley Janis Irwin and the Alberta NDP for highlighting the research Ping Lam Ip and I have done on the claim that federal funding is being disproportionately awarded to progressive disciplines.

This is the hypocrisy at the heart of Bill 18 & the UCP’s approach to intergovernmental relations generally.” #ableg

There is no role for government determining clinical care in the exam room. And, there is no role for government determining what research can be done.

The only government even threatening this is the UCP.

“If we are going to build a new Edmonton hospital, it’s only going to get more expensive and the sacrifices that patients are going to make over the next several years are just going to get worse and worse,”

The state of nursing in Alberta today.

The pressure continues to mount on our friends, family & neighbors who provide care, leaving more & more eying the exits.

And the UCP is making it worse as they continue to create chaos by upending the entire healthcare system. #ableg
