I need a Conservative big brain to explain to me why it's better to pay super high uncapped car insurance/electricity/heating/rent over paying a carbon tax that I get reimbursed back to me.
Conservatives tell me they're going to save me money but I haven't seen happen yet
Canadian CO2 emissions per capita were 15.22 (tCO2/cap/year) in 2022
China?
8.85
And Alberta is 58.02
Something to think about next time the "well what about China" argument comes up as it so often does.
1. Lower corp tax rate by 1/4
2. Cry that revenues are too low, cut funding to social programs and municipalities
3. Municipalities forced to raise property tax to make up for the shortfall and to fund the social programs
4. Accuse them of mismanagement
If you pay your taxes in Alberta and you oppose it enough to do this sort of thing - you received a rebate deposit. Since you're morally opposed to the tax and the goal of reducing carbon emissions, why not donate that money to a good charity instead of wasting gas doing this?
If your phone plan is still expensive it miiiiiight be because you're financing a thousand dollar phone.
The unlimited BYO plans are 40-50 bucks these days
Danielle Smith might as well be registered as a US Republican at this point. Prayer breakfasts, culture wars, anti trans legislation, rolling the red carpet out for Tucker Carlson...
Despite being corrected that grants are determined by academic panels and not Justin Trudeau, Smith not only doubles down on that…
She then says that with the powers of Bill 18 she will block renewals of grants if they don’t align with UCP views.

Hello
@CPC_HQ
where do I sign up to have my children’s (recently increased by
@Alberta_UCP
) school fees subsidized by party donations? Love to find out more about this new program!
Our provincial government is not even pretending to have our best interests in mind at this point.
Between this and cutting funding to cities, there's something rotten at the core of the UCP.
The Alberta government is considering new legislation to prevent the federal government from going directly to municipalities and providing funding for projects such as housing and transit.

I'm not sure any politician could lose an election and still keep fighting for every single Albertan the way

won and he's not even here.
Premier or not, we are so lucky to have her.
It's about time Alberta raised its minimum wage. Third lowest in the country is perplexing for a province that brags about how rich it is all the time.
Six year old daughter already has severe criticisms regarding the tooth fairy - “Why does she need my teeth? Does she not have any?” “Anyone who sneaks into my room and steals my teeth at night is a creep!”
The daycare my son goes to in downtown Edmonton is losing their $25/day funding a year ahead of all the other daycares. This is going to ruin the lives of a lot of low income families.
Thanks

Danielle Smith is making people miss Jason Kenney. No one should be made to miss Jason Kenney.
Jason Kenney's own mother probably wouldn't mind if he visited less often
Maybe we need a federal audit of our electricity grid. Seems like our provincial government is in over the head and need some adults to step in and take a look at what's going on
Aside from maybe liquor stores, how has privatization in Alberta actually helped consumers?
Having dealt with both, I would take Sasktel over Telus any day of the week. Same goes with ICBC. And our "privatized" electricity grid.
Everything Conservatives privatize gets shittier.

Worst premier in Albertan history.
You've done nothing to help. Can't get along with municipalities or federal counterparts. Self serving pursuit of power at taxpayers expense.
You're the problem, Danielle.
FYI (news to me at least) there are new COVID test boxes available and your old ones are probably expired by now. The one I just picked up is good until Sept 2024
At 12% the corporate tax rate in Alberta was still the 3rd lowest in Canada. At 8% it's one of the lowest in North America. So where are the jobs, Danielle? Maybe people will have to start moving to Manitoba.
Don't think Jason Kenney should be worried about pissing off his base at this point.
Just enact vaccine passports like the rest of the provinces and ride out the rest of the term, you non Albertan lecture ignoring arrogant fingerbowl-depth lame duck demagogue fuckstick
How much hypocrisy does it take to constantly promote your oil as the most ethical and responsible in the world and then the next day demand/beg the federal government to provide the cash to clean up the orphan wells?
Switching to a different energy plan could save you hundreds of dollars on your bill annually. The Utilities Consumer Advocate is here to help you and your family choose the right energy plan.

Religion should not be intertwined in healthcare. Dan is in over his head.
Imagine an LRT that connected Sherwood Park, St.Albert, Spruce Grove, Fort Sask, the EIA and all corners of Edmonton.
If only we had invested in transportation infrastructure instead of Ralphbucks and constantly lowering royalty rates.

"Hero" - we didn't name him that was from the previous owners. Unfortunately, he's not particularly heroic. Just dumb and extremely friendly.
I took my 5-year old to the office with me on, "Take Your Kid to Work Day." She started crying and getting very cranky, so I asked what was wrong with her.
As my coworkers gathered round, she sobbed loudly, "Daddy, where are all the clowns that you said that you worked with?!"
I was a big fan of Rakhi but now I'm putting my support behind

Looking forward to helping with organizing and taking Alberta back from the UCP
Anyone else feel like joining?
@RajanJSaw
You know full well how crooked this legislation is and I fully expect you will use it against her next time you run for leadership.
Danielle will continue the proud AB conservative tradition of not making it 4 full years because of nonsense just like this.
Once you know that Danielle Smith is a big fan of Ron DeSantis, a lot of her out of nowhere plans make a lot more sense.
She's really trying to make Alberta the Florida of Canada.
Ever notice when geese fly in a V formation, one side tends to be longer than the other?
There's a very good reason for this: it's because there are more birds on that side.
Every accusation is a confession.
A sane future government is going to have to create legislation to curtail any future Danielle Smith-like politician's ambitions to micro-manage municipal governments.
Can't she just focus on doing her own job?

When Postmedia sells off the Edmonton Journal for a bag of pucks, can a bunch of Edmontonians buy it and make it work as a community owned newspaper? Maybe something more like
