This government's abuses of power accumulate by the day. Did they get a mandate from Albertans to eliminate 1000s of jobs, privatise health care, and defund post-secondary education? 1/n #abpoli nationalobserver.com/2020/07/10/opi…

Did the #UCP get a mandate from Albertans to privatise our parks and open the eastern slopes of the Rockies to expanded coal mining? 2/n

Did they consult Albertans before rejecting provincial participation in a national pharmacare program? 3/n

Who do they think they are? The Bourbon restoration monarchy?? Back by divine right to govern?! Unaccountable to anyone but a handful of CEOs? 4/n

Albertans should be outraged to be treated like feudal subjects instead of citizens. Our interests in universal public services, a sustainable environment, and an economy that can provide future generations with good lives are clearly of no concern to these autocrats. 5/5
