As “pray for rain” let’s look at what and his UCP MLA’s did to help:

We are a strong Alberta, we will get through this together. Remember to thank a firefighter, first responder, emergency service personnel, RCMP officer, local sheriff and all others who are working tirelessly to keep us safe.
Praying for rain!

2. The budget cuts resulted in the CLOSURE of Alberta's wildfire training center
This provided CRITICAL training to wildfire crews and helped ensure Alberta firefighters were equipped with the skills and knowledge they needed to combat wildfires effectively

The UCP’s decision to cut wildfire funding and training programs was WIFELY criticized by experts. ESPECIALLY given Alberta’s history of devastating wildfires.
These cuts make it more difficult for Alberta to respond effectively to wildfires, putting communities at risk

4. So what did the UCP do to respond to this criticism?
They gave back a TINY fraction back into wildfire prevention in 2020…before CUTTING Wildfire training and prevention funding AGAIN in 2021 and 2022
They cut 12% and hired 68 fewer firefighters on staff!!!

Remember as Alberta burns…
Danielle Smith and the UCP opted to give:
$330,000,000 to a BILLIONAIRE to buy a hockey arena
$0 to help Alberta fight wildfires
Priorities Matter.
Danielle Smith is UNTRUSTWORTHY
