If you haven’t seen this, it’s worth a watch! Vassy Kapelos is awesome, hard hitting questions, she doesn’t let up when Smith uses the same talking points over & over. Vassy asks Smith if she’s making decisions based on zero evidence. Smith flounders.

When people actually listen to what Trudeau says, how could they EVER think Poilievre and his slogans would ever be fit for the PM’s office. If people, especially in #Alberta , could put aside their groupthink about hating Trudeau, they might actually find he resonates with them.

Alberta, going above and beyond any province in Canada AGAIN to fund private schools at the highest rate…we also fully fund charter schools. And who got a greater increase in the #UCP 2024/5 Budget? PRIVATE SCHOOLS. EVERYTHING done by the UCP serves to benefit the wealthy.
