So just curious for #ableg vote watchers, what happens when the 48 hour deadline passes? We are nearly there and there's still millions of votes left to count. By my projections, two questions are still set to flip from Yes to No. What does the 48 hour deadline even mean if the count isn't done?

Well, I'll damned. 🤔

They twist them somehow: “Do you support the Government of Alberta taking increased control over fungal ratios, for the purposes of decreasing umami to more sustainable levels, prioritizing congealed dairy product and giving Alberta dairy producers priority over the Burger Baron mushroom burgers?”

We should do 10 questions every week, but make them fun ones. Favourite dinosaur, best Burger Baron location, etc.

Absolutely heartbreaking to see so many Albertans embrace lies and cruel nonsense about immigrants. 💔

Early results are making me really sad at the state of the responses on the 9 questions. This vote was never about separatism. It was about dividing neighbours, and these results show that has been successful. Albertans, we're better than this.

Here is the actual sign for the American wine section at Andrew Hilton in Lethbridge. I know it’s real because I made it!

“I don’t think I like this game anymore” either. But we have to play it so that the seppies don’t think they have any kind of moral authority or priority over our collective future. Sadly, they won’t stop with a loss. And their victim narrative will feed the fire of grievance politics. On and on.

Words & Art by me! Let’s count down together!

Pretty good right there. 👇

It's perfect. I hate it. But it is great. Thank-you

Seems like it would be more ethical to follow the Star Wars model and require that any AI communication is processed through a vocoder so it’s transparent (and hilarious) that you’re speaking with a ‘droid’. Could be what keeps everyone from being deluded into psychosis by the ‘digital god.’

New animation from Eric!

Might be the most Danielle Smith thing ever.

In this week’s opinion column, Senator Paula Simons writes about anti-separation Albertans who genuinely believe the best form of protest is to boycott the referendum. While she understands their motives, she warns that staying home will backfire. #ableg #canpoli forwardweekly.ca/simons-cant-...

I will be thinking about this thread all day. 🧵

For the next six weeks, Forward Weekly is going deep on Alberta’s referendum. We’ll track the latest developments on the referendum, scrutinize the separatists' plans, and keep an eye on what the government might try to advance while everyone is focused on Oct. 19. archive.forwardweekly.ca?issue=23

So sad and unfair. We weren’t done learning stuff from you.
