It’s almost like Premier Smith & the UCP have a checklist they’re working from… 🤔 #ableg

Entirely predictable. This was the endgame: give the appearance of collecting signatures. Whether or not you meet the threshold (legally) matters little if they'll never be counted. Then pressure the premier to call the vote. Will the premier call the big bluff?

Nothing new here: Danielle Smith is shamelessly defending separatism. youtube.com/shorts/IoEvH...

We’re on the highway to hell open.substack.com/pub/lisayoun...

"Circumventing [petition] rules is part of a pattern for the Smith govt, whose behaviour suggests they are committed not just to holding an independence referendum but to mainstreaming separatism in Alberta." Why repeating the 300K signature claim is dangerous. open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

"This referendum is dead. For the premier to spend taxpayer time and money to resurrect it, would prove what we’ve always known: she’s a separatist." Official statement from the NDP. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I've seen one yard design I really like that's going to be over my budget, one that's not as fancy but would do the job and will still probably be out of my budget, and one I need to fork out $1,000 for before they'll even put pencil to paper, so totally out of my budget Landscaping is hard. 😒

She lies and lies and lies. She's incapable of telling the truth. We're in so much trouble in AB, and she's rigging the system so it's impossible to remove them.

@gohd21.bsky.social and the middle child took me for a lovely brunch, (the other two are working) followed by some shopping at the local greenhouse. Relaxing on the deck listening to music, looking forward to my surf and turf dinner request. My mother's day cup is full. 😊

Happy Mother's Day 💐

This is just the PQ’s “sovereignty association” with a new name. A province cannot, by definition, be “sovereign within a united Canada.” It’s nonsense.

We're teaching Ivy how to be a patio dog. Things we couldn't do with Koda because he was a very particular boy. For her first time she did fantastic. 🐾♥️

Looking to get some landscaping professionally done this season. The nightmare of meeting with contractors and getting quotes begins today. Wish me luck, I hate this part.

The Albertans who are/were so concerned about election integrity that they got rid of vote tabulators and are having a referendum on voter photo ID, seem much less concerned about the breach of the voters list.

Beyond parody

A lot of folks are treating a referendum on Alberta separation as a given. Let's not forget that Premier Smith has options, and the decision to go to a referendum is a choice for which she will be accountable. A separation vote is not somehow inevitable or predetermined. It's a choice.

We need all the help we can get. Please sign and share.

Urban Alberta needs to separate from rural Alberta. Create independent city states and flip UCP supporters the bird. Enough of this deluded, dangerous, anti democracy shit. 🖕🏼

If, instead of calling their bluff, the premier takes the separatists at their word, we have every reason to question her commitment to democratic processes and national unity.

Way to go Habs! Now, #oilers let's see if we can get Cooper on the phone. 😉

It’s almost like the practice of providing political parties almost carte blanche access to the personal information of millions of Albertans was absurd from the outset and never should’ve been permitted.

I'm happy for Buffalo. I still won't watch, but I'm happy for them. I need the Habs to close this out on Sunday.

And with that....I'll not follow any US team further. If the Habs continue, I'll watch. If not, I refuse to give any US team viewership numbers. #letsgooilers

I'm not sad, I'm not angry. There've been poor decisions by management, combined with exhaustion/injuries from players who've played more than any other team. It's okay for it to not be their year. But next year? Watch out #letsgooilers

We knew it wasn't meant to be. See you next season everyone. 🧡💙 #letsgooilers

The extended off season will do them good. #letsgooilers

He's home. ❤️🐾

I've anticipated an early exit for a long time now, and I'm okay with it. They're tired, and rightfully so. Ever hoping for the best, but accepting of the worst should it come tonight. #letsgooilers

My alarm clock gives zero fucks that it's playoffs, so that's it for me. I really hope I wake up to good news. Keep fighting the good fight my friends. #letsgooilers

I don't get my hopes up as a way to protect my heart and my mental health. They keep proving to me why it's necessary that's the mentality I have to take. #letsgooilers

Could be the cumulative effects of 2 deep playoff runs + a condensed schedule this season, but they look tired, banged-up, and uninterested in putting in the effort needed to win. #letsgooilers

Well that was disappointing. #letsgooilers

The 2nd period scares me. Never know what your going to get. #letsgooilers

Alright gentlemen. Set the tone. #letsgooilers

Film you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

This shooting at the WHCA dinner reeks of Kristallnacht. Trump either just got his “security issue” that he can use to fight the courts on building his ballroom, or he just got his excuse to drop a nuke on Iran. It’s a multiple choice event.

To the Trump cabinet: you know that fear you felt? The terror at the sound of gunshots? That’s how children feel when they try to go to school, you fucking ghouls.

Manifesting spring. Hair refresh should do the trick right?

Agreed. I was hoping the regular season coast was an effort to save reserves for playoffs. I was wrong.

It's not our year guys, and I think we've all known it all season.

Ingram has issues controlling rebounds. This is obvious. That said, if the Oilers lose this game, let it be known, it was 1000% not Ingram's fault. #letsgooilers

I don't know if Anaheim can keep that pace for 60 minutes, but if the Oilers don't decide to give a fuck at some point it won't matter. #letsgooilers

Wtf is with the USA chant? Do they not realize they have zero to proud of, or have they not been paying attention? #letsgooilers

So the AB government launches a propaganda website in an effort to dupe voters into voting the way she wants them to in the upcoming referendum. Unfortunately it's going to work.

My supervisor is slacking today.

Do you play an injured McDavid at this point if him being out there might hurt more than help? He's definitely off. #letsgooilers

This is not good. None of this is good. #letsgooilers

I'll never understand our inability to play a consistent 60 minutes. #letsgooilers

Garbage call. #letsgooilers

Dostal is a problem. Gudas will also be a problem. Make them play your game gentlemen. You've been here before, and you have unfinished business. #letsgooilers
