Living in #Alberta :
- NDP puts rate cap on electricity to tackle rampant profiteering.
- UCP takes rate cap off. Immediately, prices skyrocket and Albertans are complaining about bills that are 5x as much as last month.
- Now I can't even listen to music at work without an ad paid for by "The Government of Alberta" (ie, the UCP spending our money out of our pockets) screaming at me to "Tell the Feds" that it's all their fault we have high electricity costs in Alberta.

In #Alberta the UCP has also been pushing for all the years they've been in office to legitimate child labour with little to NO pay, by repealing every act that the NDP had put in place to protect against it. From re-introducing sub-minimal wages for youth workers (formerly it was for tipped workers), to fighting against Occupational Health and Safety standards in rural industry, actually arguing that this would hinder families from putting their kids to work. #abpoli

Seems pretty telling that the #Alberta government isn’t out there swinging for the fences on a Friday evening trying to set the narrative for the weekend on that pension report. 🤔

Maybe that’s just me.

#Canada #cdnpoli

#Alberta: We must tolerate hate speech and give them a platform, because if we do not tolerate intolerance, then we are the ones who are intolerant. I am smart.

#Canada: We do not tolerate hate speech, period.

Listen, Smith... there is no "Right of Free Speech" in Canada that says a person can deny another person of their Freedom of Expression, which is guaranteed in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I'm surprised she didn't describe Freedom of Speech as "Our First Amendment Rights". #abpoli

@cbcworld Yet another example that Danielle Smith is a raving incompetent dimwit. This time she's looting Albertans' pensions to turn the money over to her de facto employer, the fossil fuel industry. That's where this government will "invest" the cash. This is all about looting for industry, not providing a viable investment plan.

#UCP #FossilFuels #Alberta #Government #CPP #Pensions #Investment #corruption

Wondering where Canada's Department of Fisheries & Oceans (DFO) might be headed in administering the country's Species at Risk Act in Alberta? So am I, after examining lobbying by the Alberta Forest Products Ass'n, which wants to "balance" SARA against loggers' economic interests. Draft report for public review here:
https://ln5.sync.com/dl/d9ca53a90/h9sazg4w-x89r7gbs-bmu6qgs5-ns6c9ibb

#SpeciesAtRiskAct #Canada #Alberta #DFO #Lobbying #Law #Policy #Conservation

The Alberta government has come up with a proposal to withdraw from the Canada Pension Plan and claims it should be entitled to more than half of the CPP's roughly $575 billion in assets.

University of Calgary economist Trevor Tombe notes one problem with that formula, however:

"If British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario each withdrew from the CPP, for example, I estimate 128% of assets would need to be paid."

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4576950

#ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #alberta #canada #cpp

I say we let them have it on the condition that #CPP immediately begins divesting itself of all investments based in #Alberta if they give notice to set up their own plan.

We shouldn’t be propping up their economy if they don’t want to contribute.

#cdnpoli

I mean… the way they put this out there made it immediately clear that they aren’t capable of either math or honesty, both of which are pretty crucial to running a pension fund.

No, half the CPP doesn’t belong to #Alberta. That’s just fucking stupid.

Like Danielle Smith.

#cdnpoli #Canada

A brief ranking of how much I trust who to run a pension plan, in order from most to least:

1) a chicken shitting randomly in a field divided into squares marked with stock tickers.

2) three kids in a trench coat pretending to be a banker.

3) #Alberta’s UCP.

Hope you all like cat food.

Sorry, what are we protecting children from in Alberta, and protesting against today? Understanding that some people might not identify the same as others? That's what's on the agenda to protect the children, by the same people?
