When WE got rid of Kenney with the majority of the push coming from groups like FB’s Holding MLA’s Accountable, they took credit for that piggy backing on it.

“Take Back Alberta
We hope you've had a good week so far. As you can see there is a lot going on with TBA. (And a lot more in the works, we will be announcing soon).
Please considering donating to support the work we do. Without your support, we couldn't pay for the tools we use for the events and projects we are working on!
1) Alberta Pension Plan
We launched a petition two weeks ago, to call for a referendum on an Alberta Pension Plan. At the time of writing this email, we have over 10000 signatures. As impressive as that may be, our goal is far higher.
If you haven't, please sign the petition and definitely send it to your friends”.

Blacklock's Reporter says Sen. Toni Varone, a former contractor from Ontario, told the Senate banking committee that what she described as a growing underground market is now influencing basic services across the country.
“Living in Canada’s largest urban centre in Toronto, it is becoming more and more prevalent that every time I go to the hairdresser they ask if I pay cash or credit,” Varone said.
