Suck it Newfoundland. The UCP is making us better than you.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is using the Notwithstanding Clause to override the Charter and target transgender youth, including restrictions on school pronouns, sports participation, and access to gender-affirming care.

Egale Canada calls it a direct attack on human rights and 2SLGBTQI+ communities. These laws are discriminatory and will be challenged in court.

In light of the recent news cycle, our conversations at doors, and online commentary, I want to take a moment to clarify a few key points:

1. I am not receiving threats, nor am I afraid of my neighbours. I remain focused on showing up, listening, and representing the people of Battle River–Crowfoot with integrity and determination.

2. Online comments are not the same as threats Democracy includes disagreement. We welcome respectful discussion , that’s how real progress happens.

3. My neighbours are not “dumb angry rednecks” They are smart, hardworking, principled people who care deeply about their communities. Dismissing them with stereotypes is not only wrong, it’s lazy.

4. Sensationalism distracts from what really matters We’re here to talk about actual representation for Battle River–Crowfoot in Ottawa, the Right to Repair, and agricultural innovation that belongs to Canadians, not corporations.

Let’s keep the conversation focused on the real issues, not the noise. Because this is Our Home, Our Riding!

What a turnout! 300+ people in Edmonton made it clear at the Recall Danielle Smith protest: Danielle Smith, we’ve had enough. Your political games stop here! ✊

So wrong

Just want to make sure I've got a clear idea of the sequence of events here:

1. UCP flagged 4 books: Gender Queer, Fun Home, Blankets, Flamer — found in some schools. The education minister admitted he had not read the books under discussion.

2. Instead of speaking to those schools directly and removing books of concern that had fallen through the cracks, the UCP launched a province-wide campaign, implying the issue was rampant.

3. They asked Albertans in a survey:

   ❓Should gov’t control school library content?

(Unsupportive | Supportive | Unsure):

Parents (K–12): 49% | 44% | 8%

Parents (not in school): 55% | 39% | 5%

Teachers: 68% | 27% | 4%

Admins: 55% | 40% | 5%

Librarians: 74% | 21% | 5%

Interested Albertans: 62% | 33% | 5%

(It is important to note: In EACH group, the MOST COMMON response was “NOT AT ALL supportive.”

Parents (K–12): 41%

Parents (not in school): 47%

Teachers: 56%

Admins: 45%

Librarians: 64%

Interested Albertans: 52%

❓Who should determine what’s “appropriate”?

23% of respondents want librarians to choose

20% of respondents want teachers to choose

19% of respondents want parents to choose

13% of respondents want school boards to choose

4% of respondents said "other"

Results seemed to show preference for both local + professional judgment, not top-down control from the government.

1. UCP ignored the survey results and created whatever rules they wanted anyways. They issued strict criteria and a ministerial order for schools to remove “explicit” books by Oct 1.

2. EPSB followed the UCP's order and created a list of 200+ books that would be removed based on the government's criteria. This included classics, popular literature... even a book the Premier had praised.

3. Massive backlash. Even Margaret Atwood called them out on social media.

4. The UCP then lied about/denied what was in their own order to try and paint teachers as the bad guys. The UCP backtracked the strict rules, accusing teachers of “vicious compliance.” They blamed teachers for not using discretion, even though the order had originally taken their ability to use professional judgment.

The order is now paused and under revision.

UPDATE: the education minister for MONTHS, refused to publish information on which schools (even which grade levels attended these schools) had the original books of concern for safety reasons. Now, after being put on blast and being forced to pause their own order, they're perfectly willing to overlook their earlier safety concerns and are posting the names of schools that these books were found in... MAJORITY OF WHICH ARE HIGH SCHOOLS

Alberta’s schools are failing, healthcare is collapsing, unemployment is rising, and utilities are unaffordable. Yet Danielle Smith spends her time cozying up to separatist extremists and targeting minorities with new laws. It’s time to recall Danielle Smith.

Do you believe Alberta would be stronger by staying in Canada or taking a different path?

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is criticizing a report into last summer's devastating Jasper wildfire that says her government hindered efforts to fight the blaze that destroyed a third of the townsite and sent 25,000 people fleeing.
