Alberta is not fucked up; our UCP government is, pandering to a small base, safe in the knowledge that whatever they do, they can rely on the rural vote. All this with the mother of all teachers' strikes looming. Or will it be a lockout? Whatever, extra-long student break coming up.

Are these books still available at public libraries?

Yes. They're just getting them out of the schools, for now. I am sure they will come for the public libraries as soon as they can. Smith and her band of hillbillies can't be kicked out of office soon enough.

A small Alberta public school I went to in the 90s was like half filled with Mormon books. Idk which books they didn't have at that time but I don't think it was Handmaid's Tale. Alberta has always been fucked up, it's just more obvious now because the bigots feel safe

“More obvious now because the bigots feel safe” - NAILED IT

I'm Albertan please stop lying to yourself, they won a Majority so calling it pandering to a small base is wrong. I hate the truth as much as you do but the facts are the facts we have far bigger issues here besides our Dime store Danni one.

They won a majority by carrying four Calgary ridings by less than a thousand votes combined. The rest were rural Alberta ridings. Two MLAs have left the party and those slim wins will likely flip now that we see how bad they are. Her “majority” is a slim and fragile one at best.

Yup.

I can see why they want to become the 51st state. They're already fuckin' Americans.

the Atlas Network's reach is transnational- this isn't just an American incursion, but a global assault on the western world and all it stands for. it's neoliberalist toxicity in full view.

It certainly is.

This is the Trump playbook and must not be allowed in Canada.

Oil & Gas fukkers & Religious fukkers are trying with zeal to rot soul of AB ..I see it as the last tyrant industries we need to topple to see daylight.. two evil foes, but I am putting my hopes on the good that NEED to assert themselves, seems some need deeper despair than me to get it.

Yes

We have a fucked up premier who is fucking up our reputation, our economy, and yes..our province. But there are millions of us here who are not fucked up.

Tragically for those ABer like myself who was born here way before the fucked up, including Her Vileness & her bad of Alberta Assholes.

Yes I am one of those myself. This used to be a province to be proud of.

indeed ...now in the interim where dumb fuks make the rules I lie if asked while travelling where I am from.. I say Manitoba or VAN island 😂 Hoping her insane vileness & her pack of asshole meet up with an Ecoi salad or a Screw Fly taps them..

Alberta Premier seems to be taking her inspiration from D T’s project 2025.

Jason Kinney did you no favours either. But hey I’m in Ontario and we have Ford so … people in glass houses and all that.

That it is!!

Sounds like Mississippi.

It's Texas with more Stanley Cups.

America sneezes, you Canadians catch the cold. Every. Damn. Time.

Alberta becoming the shit hole province of Canada or the 51st state under MAGA Premier Daniel Smith’s reign.

I am sure she would prefer you use the title Governor Smith.

Seriously? We studied the Handmaid's Tale in English class. It was required reading.

We have a very dangerous Maga cult government that’s a fact BUT Albertans are waking up and seeing what they are about … We will not allow her to take our province 💪💪

I've been curious about AB healthcare. When Albertans go to BC for services that they can't get where they vote, does AHCIP pay for the services abroad that they won't supply at home?

Oh no! Not Canada! ☹️

Yeah. Tell me about it.

Apparently they've never read the Bible. It certainly isn't all sunshine & roses.

Oh they exempted that right away. Because of course.

But that their political Bible? 🤔

@jinnyjin.bsky.social You know what needs to be done.

what

Albertan's need to vote Smith and the UCP out!

I will always question any government that bans books but will especially question a government that bans The Handmaid’s Tale

Our Premier is fucked up. If she didn't set all sorts of ridiculous rules during her leadership review, she wouldn't be our Premier. Onky approx. 6,000 UPC members voted in Red Deer for her. The majority of Albertans, except the separatist nuts, think she's the worst Premier in the country.

Remember when Danni went to visit her good friend Ben Shapiro and gave a speech, well she wasn't the only speaker that evening. Tiffany Justice co-founder of Moms for Liberty also gave a presentation as well. Wonder where Danni got the book ban idea from?? 🤔🤔

Yep. I live here, I want to believe we can change it but the con’s stranglehold is STRONG.
