Elon Musk just became the world’s first TRILLIONAIRE. Here’s what they’re not telling you about how it happened👇

To pull off the biggest IPO in history, the rules got changed. Normally, a company has to prove itself before it’s added to the major stock indexes—the ones millions of people’s retirement savings automatically follow. That waiting period exists for one reason: to protect ordinary people’s savings from being gambled on hype.

For Musk, they scrapped it. Now millions of retirement accounts will be FORCED to buy SpaceX stock— no matter the price, no matter the risk.

Sound familiar, Alberta?

Here at home, the UCP forces our public pensions into AIMCo. AIMCo lost over $2 BILLION of workers’ money on bad bets. And when the pension plans sued to get some of it back, Danielle Smith’s government passed a law making it ILLEGAL to come after them.

They lost workers’ retirement money, and then their friends in government made it a crime to try to recover it. That’s the playbook, there and here.

When their bets pay off, sure, you might see some crumbs. But when they lose, it comes out of YOUR money.

Workers fund all of it.

It’s time we started acting like it. ✊

Showing up matters more than ever. This government comes after workers and it comes after q***r and trans Albertans too. We are stronger together, and we are fighting back.

Pride season is happening all across Alberta this year, from Fort McMurray to Banff, running June all the way through October. Whether you're marching in a parade, attending a festival, or just showing up to be counted, we want to see you there!

Happy Pride Month, Alberta! 🏳️‍🌈

In Alberta right now, q***r rights and workers rights are both under attack — and the labour movement is fighting back on both fronts.

Organized labour has always stood with the 2SLGBTQ+ community, and that's not changing.

Not now, not ever.

✊✊✊

This is their land, not ours. And in standing up for themselves and their land, they stood up for all of us in the fight against separation.

Thank you to our Indigenous siblings.

Solidarity ✊ ✊ ✊

Danielle smith really just posted herself speaking to her wealthy donors in a fancy mansion less than a day after tens of thousands of working Albertans took to the streets to protest her government working for everyone BUT ordinary Albertans.

You can't make this up.

Alberta, you were UNREAL today!! ✊🔥 Packed streets, full squares, loud crowds!

You showed the whole province what we can do when we move together. And the best part about it is that we’re just getting warmed up.

We couldn’t be more proud.

Just like the rallies in communities across Alberta, this movement is led by YOU.
