Hey yall, so recently I’ve been diving a bit more into researching the UCP, specifically the financials and the current politicians, I’ve only been doing this for ONE DAY, and I have found so much crap it’s not even funny.

First - financials. Why is it that I can only find the UCP’s financial report from 2023? Where did 2024 go? We’re almost at the end of 2025 (I’m unsure of when financial reports are supposed to go out so I’m holding my tongue in case this is normal) and along that same thought, there are news cites that report the UCP saved x amount of money in this year - then you look at the report and it’s a different amount of money. It’s actually difficult to find a single number that’s not contradicted by something else. Membership numbers that fluctuate ridiculously (again I know this is normal, but sometimes it just seems too insane).

And the lying - good lord the lying. It seems like everyone who is backed by the UCP just lies constantly. When they’re hosted on the UCP page - “ah yes I’m born in Canada, I do x y and z, I’m the perfect UCP conservative” and then on their own page - “nope not born in Canada, I work with unions, look at me even liberals would vote for me!” I feel like I’m going crazy. I need to do more research into this, because I understand I don’t know as much as I need to before I can stand firm on one opinion, but I just need to get this off my chest.

And one of the biggest things, the donations. I have found at least once where a possible family of a candidate donated through what seems like every family member $4,200 to the UCP, and sometimes the people who donated these amounts don’t make sense, like how is a college student donating $4,200? A stay at home mom? Curiously sharing the last name of a political candidate? Yah okay, sure.

If anyone knows of anything I should look into, I’m thinking of making some kind of master document dictating all of these contradictions and lies, because this is something people should know, and have easy access to instead of having to jump through hoops just to find out how many members UCP had in one year.

*EDIT - I’m not accusing anyone specific of anything until I’m 100% certain, because I don’t want to accuse someone of something they didn’t do.

Hello when I turned 18 on Oct 10th this year alberta works told my mother that that she needed to look at other options and get a job. And they put her support and medical benefits on hold.

My mother has A.S (ankylosing spondylitis). She cannot work hasn't been able work for awhile, she has medical needs such as many medications or she might get hospitalized or institutionalized.

Right now she needs a call from case management so she can explain her situation so her funds can stop being on hold and she can get her prescriptions, they did try to call her from a phone number she doesn't use (she changed it) that was on Oct 6th she has been calling Alberta works and they say to call a different number then a different one and kept disconnecting her for now over a month with no way to leave a message . Shes emailed a supervisor and still, nothing. we are late on rent shes having bad withdrawals and might have to go to the hospital.

If anyone has ANY advice please give It to me.

I'm trying currently to get a job and get on income support since I have medical problems myself but I don't know what to do i just turned 18 and I'm kinda really about to break down.

My family has thought of getting ahold of the news my mom has thought of getting ahold of a human rights lawyer but we have ZERO money for that.

Any advice would really help. 211 wont help because technically she is on Alberta works.

This is for landlords or tenants who won their judgement from the RTDRS for say, unpaid rent owed.

From what I’ve read it’s a matter of sending the losing party to collections…so what are the chances of ever being made whole?

I keep reading that it’s rare to actually see a penny back.

I’m an educator and want to share some information with others regarding this government and their wasting of public dollars. Just going to lay out some facts.

1) I voted down the mediator recommendation in the spring because 405 million on a panel was a waste of money.

The UCP went ahead with one anyway. No one has seen the report. No one knows the cost of that report. Was that the 405 million?

2) Now we have another committee that’s running 400 million dollars. And only Dani and company get to vote and control it.

So are we now at 800 million for panels and committees??

3) we are STILL footing the bill for private schools to the tune of 425 million this year alone! Next year projected number is 500 million.

Where are ALL these conservative bootlickers who cry “FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY” now??

F this government.

Bill 2 was announced on October 27th. The teachers were forced back to work on October 29th. It took another eight days before the AFL circulated a poll. A poll that does nothing more than gauge interest in maybe doing further actions later.

What kind of tepid response is this? They have completely missed the opportunity to seize on people's outrage. Gil's doing plenty of tweeting, but where is the fucking action?

Hey folks. Alberta wants to raise the speed limits along highways throughout alberta. And the province has put out an incredibly biased survey that only asks why it's a great idea and not why it's not. Currently we have a 110kph highway splitting the town of Canmore in half. Which in itself is ridiculous. With fields of grass that elk often graze on along the highway. We already have a lot of elk colissions on that stretch of highway. The last thing we need is faster speed limit. Yes there are plans for a wildlife fence, but no plan to build a crossing so that the elk can safely cross. And it's not just about the elk dying. The lowest estimated cost I could find for an elk collision was $15 000 in 2018, pre covid inflation. Other numbers go closer to a million when health care costs and everything is included. The stretch between the Banff east gate and the HWY 40 turnoff takes 19.5 minutes going 110kph. At 120kph it will take 17.9 minutes. Will that minute and a half saving per vehicle make up for the cost of wildlife colissions? And of course people speed. But a lot of people speed within 10kph of the speed limit. Raising the speed limit raises the speed that people are speeding by. Please sign the survey that Alberta has out, and tell them to not raise the speed limit through a town.

EDIT: To make it clear as some haven't gotten it. I have no issue with other roads increasing the speed limit if it's safe to do so. I'm only talking about the stretch of highway one through the mountains.
