Albertans are not taxed more than anyone else, but less.
They’re getting a new pipeline because Trudeau bought it and is building the expansion
But none of this matters
Canada had one of the best vaccine rollouts in the world
We had extremely fast aid programs as we went into lockdown, saving countless Canadians & businesses
We negotiated inclusion in Biden’s historic climate legislation
We have the first ever national childcare program
We had one of the fastest economic recoveries in the industrialized world
We have lower inflation than most of the G7
We are on track for a surplus this fiscal year
We have a climate action plan that most independent experts rate very positively
We are pouring billions into infrastructure and mass transit, creating jobs
Our unemployment rate is at a record low
As of July, 137 First Nations boil water advisories have been lifted, & 31 remain
We STILL have a worsening health care crisis & housing affordability is a serious problem in many major cities
We continue to have a worsening opioid crisis that is a disaster in parts of the country, especially Vancouver
Passports are a mess, & Afghanistan was a catastrophe—though not one that we controlled
When extremists occupied the capital and blockaded borders, the government waited an extraordinarily long time to act
But when it did, the enforcement operation was swift, effective, & short-lived
It would be very helpful for the opposition to stop lying to Canadians and inflaming unbalanced people to endanger our leaders, journalists, and the public
Only one major party with elected MPs overtly or tacitly supported an organized group that illegally occupied our capital, blockaded our borders, targeted politicians & attacked journalists.
Don’t pull this “I got a mean tweet so we’re all victims” bullshit.
Was out a couple of weeks ago for my regular forest run with a pal.
When I got to our meeting place she was on the phone with her 96 yo mom. 1/
But she was staying on the phone for a long time, and then rang off, saying that the home care nurse would be there in a couple of hours and she'd check in then.
I asked what was up.
She said her mom had called because she was "feeling funny" and "not herself"
I asked what the "feeling funny" meant and she said well, she'd knocked something off the counter by accident.
(This hero still lives alone with her 97 yo husband who has Alzheimer's).
So the idea was to have the home care nurse check her later in the pm.
"The Pandora's box is open - a real global horror will begin by the summer - global famine is inevitable (RU & UA are the main suppliers of grain in the world, this year's harvest will be smaller, and logistics will bring the catastrophe to a peak point)"
"Most importantly, no one knew that there would be such a war, they hid it from everyone"
"That is why we have a total fuckup - I don’t even want to pick another word. There is no protection from sanctions for the same reason"
