Forward Canada

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

How do we find common ground with our neighbours when the issues are so divisive? Read the full article by Lizzie Rhys Derkson at: forwardweekly.ca/our-separati... #aboli #ableg #canpoli

My last Danielle Smith PSA with @forwardcanada.bsky.social might be my favorite if simply because it contains the greatest prop I've ever gotten to use in a sketch before. Alberta forever. 🖕🏼🖕🏼 youtu.be/MmG4JyOYjUA?...

Lizzie Derksen searches for common ground with the Alberta separatists next door and finds a lesson for our bitterly divided province. #abpoli #ableg #canpoli forwardweekly.ca/our-separati...

I managed to work in a joke about one of my favourite animes for my last Danielle Smith video with @forwardcanada.bsky.social coming out this Sunday, like a ✨professional✨, so y'all had better get excited for that

TODAY IS VOTING DAY IN ALBERTA. It's time to 5X your vote. In addition to making sure you vote, track down at least 5 non-voters in your life who support Canada and ask them to vote "no to the nine". Then, get them to the polls. If we turn out the non-voters in our lives, we win. 5x.ca/worksheet

Say no to the nine! Let's go, Alberta—it's referendum day! 🇨🇦

All I found behind the last door of my Alberta Referendum Advent Calendar was a dried out cat turd. Kind of a let down tbh

WATCH: On a special episode of 'Whatever This Is', @zainvelji.bsky.social explains exactly how Smith overplayed her hand and why the "No to the Nine" campaign is gaining so much momentum with everyone from grassroots organizers to PM Mark Carney. #abpoli #ableg #canpoli

Maybe she will move to Florida, where she belongs...?

Great video on an equally important part of these referendum questions. Vote #notothenine and #yestoCanada Monday is election day. Vote if you haven’t already!

NEW: Danielle Smith banked on her 9 referendum questions being a guaranteed win. She even dumped $4M of taxpayer money into a desperate ad campaign to force her desired outcome. On a special episode of Whatever This Is, @zainvelji.bsky.social explains why the tide is turning #ableg #abpoli #canpoli

Civil rights lawyer Avnish Nanda joins The Freedom Hour to discuss the referendum questions about immigrants, taxes, and the needs of the province. Host Liberty Bell (played by comedian Henry Sir) is about as receptive as a right-wing podcaster can be. ForwardWeekly.ca #ableg #abpoli #canpoli

I wrote that @albertaviews.bsky.social essay in late 2025, knowing in my bones a referendum was in the offing. Now here is a piece I wrote on a related theme this past June, for @forwardcanada.bsky.social - on my love for Alberta, and why we must remember our history, and our best selves. #yeg

(Not-so-distant screaming!) Separatism could very well become part of Alberta’s heritage — and sooner than you might realize. The last day to vote to stay in Canada is Monday, October 19th. Find your nearest station at map.elections.ab.ca.
