How does one get on the invite list? Or is this by invite only.. guessing attendees are very well screened.
Thank you to Premier @ABDanielleSmith for making Camrose one of the stops in a busy week. People in my community enjoyed the opportunity and a chance to have dialogue and questions answered.

It’s ridiculous she hasn’t figured out how offensive her, and her bosses are to Albertans.
It is ridiculous how offensive this is.

Off, imagine being open about and not tying to pass it off as being in touch with “average” Albertans… Maybe you need to touch grass yourself!
The Alberta NDP have spent the last few months criticizing the UCP for meeting with Albertans in their living rooms. Now they're charging Albertans $500 for the opportunity to meet their own leader in a PERSONAL HOME. Oof. Talk about being out of touch.

So true, they probably see her even less then her constituents 🤷🏻‍♂️
Good to connect with my local municipality representatives at @RuralMA

Wonder if this includes all the data centers to come, the oil fields, the rainbow slick on lakes, rivers and streams, the brown water in most lakes, the hazy almost never clear skies, mountains missing their tops, deformed fish struggling to swim and washing up dead..

But a body vibrating and shaking in suffering pain with no end in sight.. that’s what Kelsi wants. Why do animals get better humane treatment?
The latest MAiD bullshit: “It’s peaceful and painless.” Everyone looks peaceful when they’re paralyzed, friends. Since when did not being able to move or scream become proof someone isn’t suffering? A body lying still is not proof of a peaceful death.

When it comes to gov’t officials, never forget: They work for us. They should answer questions from the likes of @CarrieTait until the questions have been thoroughly answered. Limiting Q’s = limiting accountability.
Umm, no @CarrieTait one question one follow-up has been the rule for a long time. All other reporters follow these rules. Why do you think you're the exception? Frankly, your conduct is more disrespectful to your fellow reporters in line to ask questions than anything else.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The "one question one follow-up" format for Alberta government press events became the norm during COVID-era virtual conferences controlled by officials. Pre-COVID, reporters used open scrums allowing more flexible follow-ups without such imposed limits. albertaviews.ca/missing-answer… edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/… cbc.ca/news/canada/ca… edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/…

I will die on this hill: The government is not the boss of reporters. The "question limit" is a COVID hangover. If politicians don't want reporters repeating questions after the "limit" they imposed to avoid pushback, they should answer them the first time.
Replying to @HappyHourHoward
She's always interrupting and going over her question limit. Rude.

That’s a why of saying you don’t want politicians held accountable.

This is the type you just auto block. Something beyond wrong in that head.
Im skeptical of the news out of Wainwright. Smells like a false flag. Internal polling must be insanely close.

Why does she keep throwing Albertans under the bus to benefit her inner circle? Healthcare, education, recover Alberta, data centers, insurance companies… What has she done to improve the lives of the average Albertan?

And Doug still thinks blowing a +40% to a -31% still makes @PierrePoilievre relevant… Does he pay you as well as bot farms? Or you’re just his closet buddy?
New Abacus poll out today has Carney's impression setting falling from +31% to +26%, Poilievre has improved from -31% to -8%. That is a difference of 34% from the previous 62% And Canadians who feel the country is moving in the wrong direction has increased to 42%. The shine is coming off Carney.

When people like @ABDanielleSmith and @JackieLovelyAB make it so you have to suffer if you’re not wealthy.. this is the humane option, like we do with animals. That’s the option some premiers have left to their electorate. Unless you love watching suffering?
When people accept MAID as healthcare, they signal to the government defeat. And the government loves it because-now they’ve realized they’ve broken the people in the country. A country that no longer forces its government to have any accountability. A country that no longer needs to provide proper healthcare. Canada is a country that is willing to kill its fellow citizens to save a dollar.

One just has to look at almost anything @PierrePoilievre has ever posted or said.. Maybe what he’s been truthful about would be a shorter list.. he has 2 children.
Perhaps instead of giving a generalized statement, one could give examples or references.

The city council those taxpayers elected? Gary doesn’t believe in democracy.. otherwise polling would indicate the @ABDanielleSmith should be removed as she doesn’t listen to Albertans.
I'm thrilled that Smith is standing up for taxpayers in Edmonton who have been ignored by this far left city council. They're out of control.

They slithered over because of @PierrePoilievre. Some politicians have a bit of morals, he is toxic, he was fired, HE slithered back jn through back room deals and continues to sink the @CPC_HQ
No. The 5 MP snakes who slithered over to the Lieberals caused 5 unnecessary by-elections.

Nope, but it is at every other news reporting outlets since they’re all owned by US republicans. So Gary is upset at the 1 against 50 ratio?
Exactly. That kind of reporting is not encouraged at the Globe.

No Gary, they banned the large tankers that have less than a couple feet of clearance once fully loaded. The type of vessel and its draft is what they paid attention too. Just how simple do you think? Or you just love pushing misinformation?
Thanks for pointing this out. It's something the BC tanker ban proponents prefer to ignore, since it undercuts the 'pristine northern coast' myth.
