My Canada includes #Alberta. Even the separatists. Because they remind us of how great Canada already is. They were given the freedom to speak their mind & present their case & were soundly rejected by the vast majority of Albertans. #AlbertaReferendum #abpoli #Canada #ForeverCanadian

The UCP consistently wastes money on trivial pursuits, whether on a war room or a pointless referendum, instead of investing in essential services like health care and education. #ableg #abpoli #FuckTheUCP

Random thought: I don’t think we’ve talked enough about how much money we wasted in Alberta on the energy “war room.” Did it accomplish anything in its existence to change hearts and minds? How much did we actually spend on it? And it just quietly went away. #ABleg www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

If you're aiming for Alberta to separate from Canada, you might as well go take a hike to the USA and let the rest of us stay in Canada. #abpoli #ableg

It’s always this idiotic 20 something percent that always supports all the bad things. Covid conspiracy loving, hating gay people, hating immigrants, supporting the Wild Rose party, hating TrUdEaU, and on and on and on… Idiots the lot of them. #ableg #cdnpoli

Wasn't it Smith who told the Prime Minister to stay in his own lane? What a fucking joke. Smith and the UCP are destroying Alberta. #abpoli #ableg

BREAKING: Premier Danielle Smith announces province will direct Edmonton to adopt infill housing rules that were in place before 2024, and require Calgary to maintain its current pre-2024 bylaw framework.

If Ottawa took power away from the UCP, they'd be screaming. But they're taking power away from the cities. What a fucking joke. #abpoli #ableg

Ryan Jespersen@ryanjespersen.bsky.social

The UCP is pulling rank on Edmonton council, forcing a roll back of #yeg's infill bylaw. It's the latest in a series of moves by the province, taking power away from municipalities. What do you think of the move? 👀 FULL: rtrj.info/100826infill 🎧 FULL: rtrj.info/100826 #yegcc #abpoli #RealTalkRJ

More confirmation and details of the deep ties between Alberta separatists and Trump Republicans. They are part of the same far-right populist movement. And the Americans are deeply involved in promoting disunity in Canada. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

This should have never happened initially. The UCP demonstrate a blatant disregard for the well-being of disabled Albertans, showing an essentially heartless attitude and a lack of concern for their needs and rights. #abpoli #ableg

How broken does a system have to be that a family has to share the hardest parts of their life on camera to prove their son is "disabled enough" for AISH? In case you missed it… here's the Global News story. Please share so more people see Ben's story. 💚 @marierenaud.bsky.social #AISH #ADAP #abpoli

This shouldn’t have happened in the first place. Disabled Albertans are being unfairly treated by the UCP, and it’s high time this stopped.

This is fantastic news for Ben and his family! But it's also another example of how badly the UCP have screwed up AISH. Ben was forced onto ADAP, a social media outcry caused a re-evaluation and then Ben was approved AISH after they found out about a press conference. /1

As a disabled Albertan, I have lived in a hostile environment since the UCP took power #abpoli #ableg #FuckTheUCP #FuckSmith

The Walrus@thewalrus.ca

Over the ten years, Premier Smith claims Alberta faced a hostile federal government, oil and gas production doubled, and Ottawa poured tens of billions into energy infrastructure. The tolerance of her big lie is almost as remarkable as the lie itself. https://ow.ly/Fl7950ZRRaq

It's time for these so-called Christians to go fuck off. #abpoli #ableg

It takes a special kind of bigotry... To read the definition of hate speech and follow it up by saying "I'm going to take it to another level"... Before launching into an appalling attack on an entire religion. But Alberta Separatists are apparently up to that task. #abpoli

Newsflash: Immigrants come with the intent to contribute to #Alberta's economy & play a huge role in our growth and prosperity. The UCP doesn't realize the damage small businesses would face with this tax. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Rebel News has lost its bid to have a complaint it filed vs Forever Canadian expedited to be heard & decided before Oct. 19 referendum A judge ruled its litigation timeline was unworkable and wouldn't have produced any tangible result before voting day #ableg #abpoli

Alberta separatists refusing to talk about separatism during a referendum is like asking someone to help you light the fuse, then insisting everyone’s being hysterical about the explosion. If you don’t want to talk about what happens, maybe don’t ask us to light it.

This is bloody rubbish. Danielle Smith knows exactly what she's doing. She's just manipulating the situation to stay in her position. #abpoli #ableg #FuckTheUCP

An emotional Premier Danielle Smith held back tears Saturday as she recounted a long list of historic indignities Albertans have suffered at the hands of the federal government. https://cheknews.ca/why-walk-away-emotional-danielle-smith-speaks-against-separation-at-online-forum-1348929/

I've always accepted that most Albertans are conservative and I've never had a problem with that People are entitles to different opinions But if I see someone with a UCP lawn sign in the next election I'm going to assume that they are not conservative they're just a racist bigot #ableg #abpoli
