How I’m voting on this unnecessary costly ($120M+) referendum imposed on us by the UCP. #ABpoli

If Danielle Smith really wants to be the Mayor of Edmonton or of Calgary, she should step down and run in the next municipal election. Then she can complain about how provincial government overreach is preventing her from doing her job.

Danielle Smith seems to be consistently lagging public opinion & reality. #ABpoli

“It's been one week since you looked at me Cocked your head to the side and said, "I'm angry" Yesterday, you'd forgiven me But it'll still be two days 'til I say I'm sorry”

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.

Shocker #DanielleSmith won’t be there. 🪶😡🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #SmithIsARacist www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

“How much time do you think this defense secretary spends looking in the mirror in the morning? These are not serious people” — Obama’s audience in Ohio is hanging on every word as he skewers Trump and Hegseth

To Canadians everywhere Smith & the UCP are trying to gerrymander Alberta's ridings so that they can never lose This should to be a concern for every Canadian because if Smith is successful there's nothing to stop your provincial government from doing this to you @mark-carney.bsky.social #cdnpoli 🇨🇦

What possible reason can the premiers of Alberta & Quebec have for missing Monday’s First Nations-First Ministers' Meeting? I’ll give a pass for BC’s new premier, although I’m going to guess he would have skipped it anyway. This is so disrespectful. Just another shameful example of Smith’s arrogance

Something I wish more people would realize.

“The suppression of uncomfortable ideas may be common in religion and politics, but it is not the path to knowledge.” ― Carl Sagan

Danielle Smith says that schools like the one in her constituency that flies multiple international flags inside the school will be able to get an exemption. Want to guess what’s not in the new regulations? An exemption process. Or even the word “exemption”.

Medicare for all. NOW.

The Government of Alberta, after stripping charter-rights from trans kids, decided to go even further and defacto ban pride flags. Because queer kids weren't bullied enough already, so the government had to make clear that they don't belong, aren't welcome.

The BBC has become an explicitly and politically anti-LGBTQ+ institution. www.leicester.news/bbc-edits-ou...

Is no one going to ask *how* she plans on enforcing this? The party bylaws don't give her authority. This isn't the APP. Bylaws do matter.

Smith confirmed she will continue to use taxpayer dollars to appeal the shutdown of the original separatist question... But regardless of the outcome, she won't ask another separation question. She wants the ruling to ensure First Nations don't have to be consulted. #abpoli

Andrew Knack, Edmonton mayor calls out Danielle Smith for blatantly giving false information- telling lies. Great post by Ryan Jespersen www.youtube.com/shorts/DGyuJ...

Updated story: Developers planning infill projects in #yeg better hurry. A city memo says they have just two weeks (until Nov. 8) to get their applications in if they want to ensure they are processed before Edmonton has to switch back to its old zoning bylaw. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

"Friend with benefits" remains the best possible title.

Greg MacEachern on Danielle Smith: "It's kind of shameful how expensive it was in order for her to run a referendum to decide whether or not she has the power and strength to say to separatists, 'Get out of my party.'"

The lies, grift, & #destruction the #UCP is allowing on #public and #protected (???) land. What were once part of provincial parkland is now open to "development" of extraction for minerals, gases and other resources. #MoneyGrab #DanielleSmith #Destruction cpaws-southernalberta.org/what-are-pro...

Dear world, I’m not asking you to feel our pain. I’m asking you to remember that behind every Ukrainian headline, there’s someone who wanted to live. Just like you. #ukraine #world #ukrainian #ukrainians #war

Greg MacEachern on U.S. allegations of election interference: "How can we be ready to be the 51st state, we can't defend ourselves, yet we're such a superpower, we can influence the outcome of an American election? It deserves to be mocked."

Dear #BCpoli; Yes, Eby f-d up by calling this snap election. Huge unforced error, & he deserves political consequences for that. But take it from an Albertan: you don’t want the west coast version of UCP running your province. You don’t want an echo of our mess. Vote wisely. XOX 🫶

Yeah, whatever happened to the corruption investigation?

In today’s @TheGlobeandMail.com , Mr. Coyne punctures the Queen of Stupid Danielle Smith’s immigration balloons. Every last one of them.
