If you haven't voted in the municipal election yet, read this first. The UCP injected party politics and big money into these elections to appease Take Back Alberta. No one wanted it. Danielle Smith herself said she was against party politics in municipal elections. albertaviews.ca/parties-over...

Municipal Parties Over People - Alberta Views

Danielle Smith was being lobbied to legislate municipal parties. Third-party advertiser Take Back Alberta (TBA) was in fact behind the push.

Job occupations, from an 1881 census. Every one of these sounds like something a sorely provoked Captain Haddock would should at someone in times of heavy stress.

I began writing this story with a naive question in mind: What do we lose when public education is privatized? A lot, actually.

By following the MAGA playbook, the UCP’s push against public education not only undermines democracy, it jeopardizes the possibility of a better future for all Albertans.

MAGA’s Project 2025 has become a blueprint for undermining Canada’s schools in the name of profit and privilege.

Rest of post in alt tag. If you had issues with the #AlbertaNext Surveys send an email using file number listed. CC your MLA, the opposition and media. #ABleg #ABpoli

Subject: Support Submission – File No. 2025-0213 (Alberta Next Panel)
Dear Chief Electoral Officer,
I am writing as an Alberta resident to support the complaint under File No. 2025-0213 regarding the Alberta Next Panel.
During 2025, both the Government of Alberta and the United Conservative Party (UCP) promoted surveys branded as “Alberta Next.” The existence of a parallel, party-operated survey closely mirroring the government’s official consultation raises serious questions about whether public resources, communications staff, or web infrastructure were used to benefit a political organization.
I personally experienced confusion or issues while completing the survey process. [Add one or two sentences describing what happened and add any support documents or screenshots if you have any.]
I ask your office to review whether the survey’s administration or communications used public resources in a way that created partisan or misleading outcomes.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
[City / Town], Alberta
[Email Address]
[Phone (optional)]
💡 Why It Matters
✅ It only takes a minute to make your experience count.
✅ Oversight offices act on evidence — not comments.
✅ The more first-hand accounts they receive, the stronger the case for accountability.
🗣 This isn’t about politics.
It’s about making sure every public process in Alberta is transparent, fair, and accountable. If something felt off — now’s your chance to put it on the record.
✅ Keep it respectful, factual, and focused on accountability.
This isn’t about politics — it’s about protecting public trust and ensuring Alberta’s processes stay fair.

I'm glad I made 2 cheesecakes.
I will leave one at home to savour over the next couple of days, and take the other to dinner and bestow the glory of gustatory pleasure upon the rabble , aka, the family.
I made a pear raspberry palette to fill the gaps.

My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

Lost viola bow on the way from Honor Oak Station to Heathrow Terminal 2. The bow slid from its bow case somewhere along the way, possibly on the train. TFL contacted already.
It weighs 68.2 grams and has got a stamped DODD next to the frog. If any info on this, please pm me.

Thanks for posting this.
The UCP are the problem, and their message is divisive and destructive.
And yet, my "smart" fellow Albertans seem to be completely hornswoggled by the magical tongue of Dictator Danielle.
