I was listening to the news this morning and heard Smith suggest that there would be another referendum in 2027 about stuff like bike lanes, etc Did anyone else hear this? F*ck me, as long as the UCP are in power we are going to waste all Alberta's money on culture war crap #ableg #abpoli

From Lula’s victory speech. Hard to argue. 🇧🇷 “We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously large corporations earning millions and billions, paying no taxes to this country and trying to steer our election results.”

Whether it's Republicans not being allowed within 200 feet of a Chuck E. Cheese or Democrats making jokes about a Cheesecake Factory, both side have a fraught relationship with chain restaurants.

From the DM’s… There’s reportedly been a massive cull of senior leadership at Acute Care Alberta with 8 senior leaders being shown the door suddenly! Just in time for flu season! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Alberta’s Minister of Health/Hospitals wants Albertans to know that the government is building everything they can to manage the incoming flu season… Except mention vaccines. In fact, the last time she tweeted about vaccines? Last year. But it was measles, not the flu.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Watch this with Trump at his side, remember the dissents in the birthright citizenship case — www.lawdork.com/p/six-opinio... — and understand there are no limits, no places they wouldn’t go.

Just a reminder Parker & the separatists stole our voting data And NOTHING is happening There's no outrage from Smith on our behalf It is all forgotten Is there even an investigation? #ableg #abpoli

IMO, the question Albertans need to ask themselves is do they want a government that's addicted to culture wars? Or do they want a government that works for us? Because we can't have both #ableg #abpoli

This cruel move by Danielle Smith and MAGA UCP❓ It is very obviously about hate, exclusion, and regressive BS that plays to base❗️ Alberta must be better than this! 👎 share.google/MaoUIsZIa2Fe...

“Yeah I did it again, bitches. Fuck you, I like these dinners.” @billmaher lashes out, defends himself for having dinner with Trump again. He says Trump had good etiquette, never lost his temper or yelled… How nice! Imagine being this far up your own ass.

Treaty 6 was signed in 1876. Treaty 7 was signed in 1877. Treaty 8 was signed in 1899. Alberta joined confederation in 1905. This was treaty land before Alberta existed. This is still treaty land.

Alberta is restricting when the Treaty 6 and Métis Nation flags are flown at schools to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Pride flags will NEVER be allowed to fly. But you can fly the Vatican City flag. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

It would be grand, then, if the Government of Canada would terminate any use of X/Twitter. And don't say, "Oh, we need it to get our messages out," because then you are "caught in a situation where we are reliant on one provider."

Mark Carney on what Elon Musk's throttling of Starlink means for Canada: "We do not want to be caught in a situation where we are reliant on one provider that puts Canadians at risk or compromises our sovereignty, our ability to express our values and live our values."

Alberta Prosperity Project disavows their separatist leaders after they lost the referendum. Up until then, they were fine. Danielle Smith disavows separatists in the UCP party and caucus after they lost the referendum. Up until then, they were fine. No honor among thieves.

Jeffrey Rath and Mitch Sylvestre were terminated from their roles with the Alberta Prosperity Project "with cause" in September. This is particularly strange, since both men were at the group's referendum watch party and spoke to media on its behalf.

Smith would have to answer for these referendum questions if this was an election platform. Instead of holding an election and defending her position, Danielle Smith held a referendum at our expense and spent $4 million of our own money just to advertise her own position. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Remember when the UCP used Alberta tax dollars to award a half a billion in health care contracts to Sam Mraiche for political favours, then Marlaina tried to cover it up #Ableg #Abpoli

Jared Wesley@jaredwesley.ca

Allegedly, Smith's staff pressured health officials to approve over half a billion dollars in private health care contracts to a businessman who bought them seats in NHL luxury boxes in return for the favour. Then Smith fired a CEO who tried to investigate.

Here is Alberta's Premier, lying again, deflecting, and refusing to accept responsibility for putting the Canada question on the ballot. It's always 'other people' when things don't go her way. Nothing new, but she is not fit to hold public office. #ableg #abpoli

Danielle Smith throws Forever Canada under the bus, blaming them for the referendum: "If somebody doesn't want to put a vote forward, then they shouldn't start a petition campaign. If they're going to do that, then they have to understand that there are consequences to it."

I didn't see that many Separatist lawn signs in my neighbourhood... maybe two or three. One guy though had (I kid you not) about ten, three of which were the big-ass road signs. Today though, there's only a "For Sale" sign on his lawn, LOL.
