“The way the (Mine Financial Security Program) is set up means that the government will come asking companies for a security deposit well into the future, (said U of A prof. Andrew Leach), ‘when they get much closer to bankruptcy.

Even if the #UCP and/or any of their supporters aren't behind this Lethbridge Neudorf recall tactic, the fact so few #Albertans believe or trust the UCP & think the UCP would pull this type of a stunt says a lot about their poor crefibility & governance.

Such odd times we live in.

"Meanwhile, Apperloo encourages anyone having trouble getting a response from Tanner to send an email to Elections Alberta. She also called out Tanner for not doing anything to recruit volunteers for the recall effort."

Was doing the annual Christmas cookies baking this weekend while watching K-pop Demon Hunters cuz was wondering what the fascination is and yeah I kinda get it & can see why it was a hit.
Also can forsee many future academic articles on narrative and pop culture influences.

People often ask: what can ordinary people do to stop populists like Trump and Smith from running roughshod over democratic norms?

Populists rely on the widespread perception that their actions are supported by "the majority" and "common people."

Anything that punctures that myth helps. +
