“Albertans deserve a clear answer, not another political bait-and-switch or another phase of strategic delay. A petition is not a referendum. If you want a mandate, seek it. If not, stop pretending one is always just over the horizon.”

Look, I know we have so many things to worry about right now, but I am 100% certain that half of these problems would resolve themselves if people would just remember that the left lane is for PASSING!!

Important read: “Had the reforms been tabled later, they would have drawn national attention and hurt Pierre Poilievre's federal Conservatives…Introducing the changes now minimizes that risk while placating UCP separatists and stoking the national unity crisis Smith and Manning promised.” #abpoli

Just voted in the advanced polls and the place was PACKED! Folks working the door said it had been that way since the doors opened. I don’t know if that means people are showing up to vote against or for one party or another, but people are turning out! #cdnpoli

“Alberta has been held captive by an identity that no longer reflects its people but is thrust upon us with fierce regularity. Some would even call it psychological conditioning.”
It’s time to ditch the “typical Albertan,” the one with the cowboy hat and the bumper stickers. That’s simply not us.

“I got the analogy from someone many years ago. He said that being angry was as useful as wetting your pants; everyone can see it, but only you can feel it.
The goal of separatism, however, is trying to make everyone around them feel it, too.”

The separatists aren't just threatening Canada
The separatist movement is small, and loud, and most people in Alberta think they're horrible, too.

If it smells like a coverup, walks, and talks like a coverup, it's probably the UCP government issuing a gag order to keep the lid on the #CorruptCare scandal.

The way this is not being taken seriously is alarming. There are separatists with the ear of the Alberta govt here, and likely assistance from the US, and Smith is easily the most selfish Premier we've ever had. She's setting things in motion that are dangerous and will haunt us forever.
I don't think I can stress enough how badly this is received in the rest of Canada at a time when we're being threatened with annexation. We're absolutely sick of these assholes.

Unfortunately, this is no joke:
In the same week that Smith spent public funds on a trip to Florida to hang out with right-wing extremists, the UCP cut funding for snacks provided to kids undergoing cancer treatment.
The UCP is incompetent, unethical, and cruel.

I would dearly like to see a line-goes-down chart on Smith’s popularity in Alberta because my faith in this province’s electorate is wearing thin.
I accept that some Albertans will never change their colours but COME ON — corruption, treason, and crazy. At least 10% of you can’t be OK with that.

Danielle Smith is still headed to PragerU and there is no way she’s going to succeed in making the US back down on tariffs, which seems to be her stated goal. She operates in such a tiny bubble that she can’t see the damage she is doing. Incredibly poor judgement.
