It’s easy to forget the UCP actually ran mainly on affordability. Here is how the “affordability action plan” looks today
Tax cuts ❌
Gas tax cut ❌
Utility Price Relief ❌
Affordability Payments ❌
Natural gas price protection ❌
Insurance rate freeze ❌
Affordable transit in

It’s no secret the UCP is at war with Alberta’s two metros, they’ve implemented funding cuts, not funded growth, and last week announced tools to strip power from elected councils

Today Danielle Smith put low income earners in her cross hairs by cancelling funding for their

Poilievre on human rights: <I’ll be elected>”….people can then make the judgments themselves on whether they think my laws are constitutional”

It’s the courts that decide constitutionality, if it were left to a majority Canadians gay marriage ect wouldn’t have become law.

Why does the whole CPC suddenly talk and act like Donald Trump.
The adjectives, turning committees into non-productive partisan sideshows.

I liked the Canadian style of politics that included policy books, debates and respect.

Analyzing my gas bill to see if I should replace my furnace with heat pumps. Why? Cause we get ripped off in the summer!
From June-Sept ‘23 I used 11 GJ
Gas cost: $40
Fees: $226
Taxes: $52

Before tax I am paying $24/GJ on my “$3.69/GJ” contract! More to follow… #ableg #abpoli

I took a few hours to consider the ramifications of the proposed #ableg Bill 20 before posting.

I disagree with the imposition of partisan politics into the municipal sphere. In reality, most issues I face as a municipal politician are practical in nature and not partisan in

A report from ACER (the association of European energy regulators) estimates EU demand for LNG will fall ~60 bcm/y by 2027 or ~5.8 billion cubic feet/day. That's roughly HALF of US LNG exports in 2023 for scale. The US has enough new terminals already permitted to up to 3X LNG

Danielle Smith lies.
Education spending per student is at a low.
The lowest in the country in fact.
We're way behind.
Exactly what your con gov't wants.
Critical thinking?
Ability to navigate the 🐂💩?
World-class education?
All liabilities if you're a con.

I’m on a plane to Orlando in hopes of missing 3rd winter.

Two weeks ago I did a thread on Tesla travel in the U.S. SW, now we’ll see how a Polestar does around the swamps of Florida.

About a year ago Danielle Smith started an election campaign focused on affordability.

One year later Alberta has some of the highest cost of living hikes in the country and a govt that couldn’t care less. #ableg #abpoli

One thing lost in the whole interest rate discussion is how much lower Canadian rates are than our global Anglo counterparts. The rise in rates has been painful. It could have been so much worse.

If anyone is planning on going southbound to Banff/Canmore would like to avoid the right wing activists “freedom blockade” on highway 1, consider HWY 1A. A scenic foothills drive along the Bow River.

Just set your GPS to go via Ghost Lake.

Canada Proud is trying to say Poilievre spends less than Singh but they exclude most of his expenses.
Reality is Pierre Poilievre is Canada’s single most expensive MP. Here’s the breakdown and data sources:
Poilievre➡️$8,026,697
Salary; $299,000
Staff: $5,715,366
Travel: $529,483

Here’s an interesting EV strategy. Instead of battery charging the Nio just uses robots to replace your battery with a fully charged one (in 5 minutes!).
Sell the car at a loss and recoups w/battery subscription fees. Interesting.

I saw a Govt of Alberta commercial last night telling me re-focusing healthcare was easing waits at ERs

The screen capture of waits as the ad was running suggested longer than typical waits.

Isn’t there some law around integrity in advertising #ableg
