Here are two must-read stories for Albertans. @ximenaka.bsky.social shows Premier Danielle Smith's referendum on immigration isn't based on evidence. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202... 1

And @marcellodicintio.bsky.social reveals what the separatist movement Danielle Smith is attempting to appease is really all about. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

How big of a deal is the Electoral Boundaries Commission Report? Big enough that the UCP may have pressured their two appointees to break ranks and gerrymander the province! Political Scientists Dr @duanebratt.bsky.social explains on our latest episode! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

#UCP #DanielleSmith despicable, dishonest, corrupt #Alberta government trying to steal the next election #Gerrymandering

"Since 2022, Alberta’s population has gone up by 11 per cent. That population growth has driven a 34 per cent increase in revenue from both personal & corporate income taxes. Health-care and education expenses... rose by only 12 and 16 per cent" #abpoli thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

A look at what my week looks like. #yql #lethbridge #brightertogetheryql #yqljenn

I have not forgotten the statement by the UCP candidate, JMH, in the Lethbridge West by-election in 2024. JMH brought up during the campaign that in the next election the boundaries for Lethbridge West would be different. Hmmmmm.....

Alberta friends, if you haven't had a chance to read this yet, I highly recommend it. #ableg #abpoli

The UCP would win re-election today under the current existing boundaries that were drawn in 2017 and the majority report’s map, but the minority report’s map would make it basically impossible for the NDP to ever win in enough ridings to form a majority government — and that’s the point.

A judge may block the Alberta separation petition drive next week. But activists expect Danielle Smith will give them their referendum anyway — after all, she’s cleared their path before. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... by me

To "gerrymander" means "to manipulate seat distribution to your advantage." Your political stripe doesn't matter if you truly believe in fair, competitive elections. Write your MLA! #ABuseOfPower #ABPoli #ABLeg #Discusting

Read this as many times it takes to understand that "to gerrymander" means "to manipulate seats to your advantage." This is the UCP government! Your political stripe shouldn't matter if you truly believe in fair, competitive elections. Write your MLA! #ABuseOfPower #ABPoli #ABLeg #Discusting

This substack contains a concrete list of actions that Canada should take to sanction the State of Israel along with supporting reasons. I support the proposed actions. #abpoli #cdnpoli margaretshkimba.substack.com/p/when-words...

BEYOND LOCAL: Rural communities fight against disproportionate electricity distribution fees

No more quibbling, no more debate: Danielle Smith is a separatist.

Eric Johnson. Hands down … and fingers flying!

The federal government must course correct and accelerate investments in local infrastructure, including by at least doubling the Community stream of the Build Communities Strong Fund (formerly Canada Community-Building Fund).

“The resolution formally recognises the brutality and scale of chattel enslavement and calls for discussions around reparations, including apologies, compensation, and systemic reforms.” Seriously, Canada?!?! We “abstained” from this vote?!? #FFS

Hello people of Calgary, if you’re a fan of housing opportunity and choice, or just like free markets and reduced red tape, today may be the last chance to speak in the public hearing. #yyc www.calgary.ca/planning/pro...

A phase out of incentives for Alberta doctors (stipends) could have a substantial effect on the availability of hospital care, starting April 1. Not only did surgeons warn of potential cancellations, but ER docs and hospitalists are warning of a potential hit to emergency and inpatient care #ableg

The effects could be substantial in Edmonton-area hospitals, but doctors say other areas, like Fort McMurray, are also greatly dependent on hospitalists to keep hospital care running. #AbLeg

Wow ! Quelle merveilleuse (et belle) tradition!

Bravo Emmanuel et vive Paris ! ❤️

Just responding to the headline here: 1) no, provinces do not have the 'right' to take away rights. 2) If it's not health care, then provinces can't regulate it!!! www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

This is a must read article! It it @readtheorchard.org presents some very real questions about if, & to what degree, Danielle Smith’s office intervened directly so a hate preacher could have an event at the Legislature despite violating established policy! www.theprogressreport.ca/sean_feucht_...

"PROFOUNDLY ignorant"

Always impressed with the work Economic Development Lethbridge is doing for our city. Had the opportunity to attend the annual AGM last night. Their full 2025 report is available at: chooselethbridge.ca/wp-content/u... #yql #Lethbridge #brightertogetheryql #yqljenn

🇨🇦😬 Fighting misinformation and disinformation needs to be a national priority in Canada. Alberta is barrelling towards referendums on immigration and separation and there's no sign our leaders are taking the threat seriously. 🤠 My latest column: daveberta.substack.com/p/fighting-m...

As the Globe breaks the story on Melewka… Let’s go back to November last year when Smith was asked about exactly this issue, Marshall Smith’s involvement & she not only denied it… She seemed to reference the podcasters who were allegedly hired to intimidate witnesses. Was she covering up then?

Anything that combines knee-jerk reactionary, penal populist and largely unnecessary, is great for conservative politicians.

For #Lethbridge the proposed Provincial Education Property Tax amount will be going up by 12.9% – meaning an approx $117 increase for the avg single-family detached home, assessed at approx $389,000. Share your thoughts below. #yql #brightertogetheryql #yqljenn www.lethbridge.ca/news/posts/c...

Next year, Chris. Next year is our year!

My next sentence was “or through your non-vote.” Municipal elections in cities are remarkably important for our lives and our future. I see it every day. We need to support smart, brave, principled, visionary candidates, not just rewarding name-recognition or auto-supporting the incumbent. #VOTE

😳🤯👏👏👏

Demonstration in front of the US Embassy this afternoon in Ottawa.

"Prime Minister Mark Carney says he supported Washington’s strikes on Iran “with regret” over the continued decline of the rules-based international order." The rules-based international order declines when leaders like Carney fail to stand up for it. He's actively contributing to its decline.

today's essential read for all Canadians. all the more so because it is from 'merica. newrepublic.com/article/2069...

This isn’t just a reflection on a past moment of time. It’s a statement that we have a choice, a choice to do what’s right.

When I wrote this, it wasn't just about the government's unwillingness to get off of Elon Musk's Nazi site. Mark Carney's actions never match his rhetoric. His support for another violation of international law is proof: Canada is morally leaderless. emmettmacfarlane.substack.com/p/is-canada-...

New Substack! Separatist Leader and Danielle Smith's "Plan B", Dennis Modry was found to have misappropriated over $1.2 million from family members suffering from dementia by a BC Supreme Court Judge. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli open.substack.com/pub/thebreak...

Wherein Smith claims that "newcomers" are costing the province $9 Billion in social programs. In order for that to be true, every single newcomer would have to be accessing social programs that many don't even have access to. These are evil misrepresentations. #abpoli #ableg

Albertans: your premier is lying to you.

All foreign policies are principled. In pretending that India no longer poses a threat to Canadians, in ignoring Musk’s CSAM adventures, in fully endorsing Trump’s illegal actions, Carney is demonstrating his own values and principles, what he actually stands for. And what he doesn’t.
