It looks like Premier Danielle Smith is back at it with new ways to dig deeper into our pockets. They’re calling it a recycling program, but let’s call it what it really is—a new green tax on toys and almost everything we use!
Starting April 1, 2025, the government plans to slap extra fees on a whole bunch of stuff, from your trusty lawnmower and that coffee maker you rely on every morning to the cell phones we can’t live without. And don’t get me started on the kids' video games and toys. It’s all part of this expanded eco-fee program to help with recycling. They say it’s for the environment, but why does it feel like just another hit to our wallets?
Here’s the kicker: all this is happening while we're all still trying to keep up with the skyrocketing cost of living. Gas prices, groceries, you name it, everything’s going up. Now this? More fees on our everyday essentials. It just doesn’t seem fair, does it?
I’m all for caring for our planet, but there has to be a better way to do this without making everything more expensive for us regular folks. Isn’t life pricey enough already without adding extra costs to everything we buy?
So, what do you think? Are you as fed up as I am with these constant new taxes from our Premier, who told us all she was a fiscal conservative?
Does she need more ways to tax us to pay for her budget, which is 20% higher than Rachel Notley’s?
If this strikes a chord with you, I say we make some noise. Let’s tell Premier Smith and her team that we’ve had enough of being nickel and dimed.
If we can tighten our belts, so can she. Instead of taxing us more, why not spend less?
There was an incredible lady who had a fantastic saying, “We don’t have a revenue problem. We have a spending problem!” I wish that lady was still around…
We need to stand up and say no to these never-ending tax hikes.
If you want to help, sign our petition to get the flat tax back to get the message to her that we want a more affordable Alberta!

OPEN LETTER: To the Prime Minister of the "New World Order"
TO: The Right Honourable Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada
FROM: Jennifer Elizabeth Telfer
I. The Banker in the PMO
You have famously stated on camera, "I'm a banker, not a career politician." That much is evident. Your leadership has treated Canada not as a sovereign nation of citizens, but as a balance sheet to be "optimized" for global investors. You are a technician for a vision that seeks to dismantle national independence in favor of the "variable geometry" of global power you promoted at Davos 2026.
II. The Death of the Trades & The "Build Canada" Scam
As someone who has worked in the trades for over 15 years, I see the "holes" in your Build Communities Strong Fund. You talk about "supercharging" homebuilding, but your policies are crushing the people who actually do the work:
The Productivity Trap: You demand 500,000 homes a year while your "hidden" fuel taxes and inflation make it impossible for ...
Someone finally put the truth in print in a Red Deer obituary. She was 71.
" Six years ago. Val’s health began to be compromised. She battled every day to reverse the vaccine injury after long battle in excruciating pain."
