Fellow Albertans, welcome to the Third Session of the Twenty-sixth Alberta Legislature.
I am honoured, once again, to deliver the Speech from the Throne, wherein I will outline the ambiguous and vague initiatives – if any – that this government will take.
As we continue our journey into Alberta’s second century, Albertans have much to be embarrassed about, and much more to be ashamed of…
Our current “prosperity” [sarcastic tone of voice] is the result of the lack of foresight by those in the power of the previous government and that of this government as well: under our watch we have cut social spending, allowing municipal infrastructure to crumble, allowed for classroom sizes to reach 40 students per class, health care premiums to sky rocket and affordable housing available to residents to disappear, but not only that, no, we have also had the complete and irresponsible degradation and destruction of Alberta’s environment resulting in the exploitation of millions of Albertans for a favourable “business” atmosphere for foreign multinational corporations in the Alberta tar sands.
