Facebook Is Turning A Blind Eye To Global Political Manipulation, According To This Explosive Secret Memo. And, yes, it’s happening here in Alberta, too, courtesy of the of the UCP. #AbLeg#abpoli#cdnpolibuzzfeednews.com/article/craigs…
“One of the big tools of authoritarian regimes is to humiliate the opposition in the mind of the public so that they're not viewed as a credible or legitimate alternative.” Sound familiar?
Oh, and look, Canadian Conservatives want the stop regulations that could protect democracy from bad actors. I wonder why? 🤔
Want proof that the UCP gleefully uses these tactics and tools to manipulate elections? Here it is. nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/c…
“(We) identified communities that demonstrated a suspicious account creation pattern that is indicative of troll or bot activity,” the report say. “It was mainly comprised of supporters of the United Conservative Party.”

This “ten years of attacks on Alberta” narrative is one of the reasons we’re facing a separatist crisis today. It was a deceptive strategy designed by political hacks like Anderson to enrage Albertans and manipulate them into supporting extremist projects, including separatism.
To be clear, I’m not a Liberal and I’m not defending Trudeau. But literally all the central arguments in the “ten years of attacks” narrative are BS. Between 2015-25, both Alberta oil production and profits soared. We got a big pipeline build to the west coast …
The equalization argument is also a red herring. We pay the same taxes as all other Canadians. We just happen to have more rich people than other provinces. Equalization is just taking some of the taxes from rich Albertans and using it to help even out the level of services …
Enough is enough. With the separatists essentially “doxxing” nearly 3 million Albertans and the UCP continuing with their campaign to turn our province into a Trump/MAGA outpost, it’s time for mass protest. May 29 is the day. Put it in your calendar. afl.org/release-separa…
History shows that when governments stop responding to normal democratic signals, citizens need to get louder – and more disruptive.
“We need to take inspiration from people like the late civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. who famously said that non-violent and disruptive protests are necessary to force powerful interests to negotiate social change.”
These are NOT “public pools” of capital. They are the retirement savings of hundreds of thousands of Albertans. The pension funds are suing AIMCo because AIMCo’s reckless negligence caused huge losses. The UCP’s intervention is outrageous! edmontonjournal.com/news/local-new…
The VOLTS strategy (which bet billions on the direction of the market, without buying a real assets) was NOT approved by any of the pension funds. But UCP legislation says those funds have no choice but to use AIMCo as their investment manager, no matter how poor the performance.
This is the same outfit that Danielle Smith wants to use if she gets away with pulling Alberta out of CPP to create an Alberta Pension Plan. Our big public sector plans are being held hostage: and now the UCP says they can’t even use the courts to hold AIMCo accountable.
With her decision to strip teachers of their fundamental democratic rights, Danielle Smith has awakened a sleeping giant. Alberta unions are now united in one purpose: topple the UCP. Organizing a towards a general strike will be part of our strategy to make it happen.
“This government wants to take that power — the power of collective action — away from workers. We are going to find ways to take that power back.”
In an emergency meeting tonight, the leaders of almost all of Alberta’s public and private unions unanimously agreed to send a message to Premier Danielle Smith, warning her not to use the Notwithstanding Clause against striking teachers. See full text of the statement below 💥👇
Dear Premier Smith,
On behalf of the more than 350,000 working Albertans who we represent, we urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to rule out the use of the Notwithstanding Clause as part of your government’s approach to the teachers’ strike.
Invoking the clause would be unprecedented in the history of Canadian labour relations. It would also escalate the situation from a confrontation between your government and the teachers to a confrontation between you and the entire Canadian labour movement.
Can we please parse in detail some of the BS that our Premier puts forward as facts. Exhibit #1: “
“The guidance that Health Canada gives is that everybody get (flu shots) because influenza can impact negatively both the very young and the very old.” edmonton.citynews.ca/2025/08/23/pre…
The implication here is that Health Canada has NOT given guidance suggesting that everybody get the Covid shot. But, that’s not true! Health Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Immunization has CLEARLY recommended that EVERYONE should get Covid boosters.
