Canada’s electricity strategy shows ambition, but it needs effective infrastructure to work. Right now, Alberta is already wasting wind & solar because the grid can’t move it where it’s needed. Building more power lines is essential to making electrification work. 🔗: buff.ly/LcH5d3Y

Governing by performance, because they are mirroring the United States- to hell with democracy, just perform as if you are interested in debate and your voters when in reality you will push ahead with the interests of a few.

There is a province wide Day of Protest on May 29 organized by the Alberta Federation of Labour. It's between noon and 1 pm. See if there is one in your area. fightbacknow.civicdeeds.com?link_id=3&ca...

Performative democracy is the nicest way to say incompetent authoritarianism that is the UCP government in Alberta.

Evergreen question.

And we're supposed to believe they gaf now? "The UCP committee members argued the thousands of Albertans who signed the pro-Canada and separatist petitions deserve to have their voices heard."

What result is there as a consequence of the incompetence, corruption, dishonesty, and bad faith on the part of the UCP but chaos?

Let’s instead ask the 40% of eligible Albertan voters who didn’t vote in 2023 if they regret their inaction. Do you care enough now? How about those who voted UCP despite being warned repeatedly of their pitfalls? This isn’t about oppo party appeal. Get engaged or suffer the results.

He’s always been a big fan of Trump look it up. He even wanted him reelected in 2024.

“He’s hiding information, he’s appointing pals to top positions, he’s involved in scandals, there’s all kinds of grift, he wants to fly around in a freaking gravy plane and says horrible things to women! Ford is more like Trump every day!” 🇨🇦 youtu.be/FV2FhHMJiIQ?si…#Onpolili @tylerwatt.bsky.social

Me thinking about the cost to taxpayers for all these performance shenanigans...

Will they be releasing the results of the vote tonight, or will they wait until closer to referendum day?

Across Alberta, mayors are tracking rising taxes and failing infrastructure as their cities rapidly expand without adequate support. What are the consequences when population growth exceeds municipal capacity? https://ow.ly/WyiH50Z2vKH

Pre-recorded? Again, the fix was in. I want to stay in Canada 🍁 and separate from the UCP.

I think her message is called "F*ck the Law", borrowing from a popular song.

So Smith's address was recorded yesterday, with her referendum question wording, before the special committee even voted on whether or not to have a referendum.

After much NDP filibustering, the UCP MLAs on the Citizen Initiative Proposal Review passed the separatist referendum motion this afternoon. Premier Danielle Smith is expected to announce the wording of the referendum question in yesterday’s pre-recorded message being broadcast this evening.

Meanwhile, separatists think I, who has lived and worked in Alberta for the better part of 40 years, am not an Albertan because I wasn't born here.

Interesting that he considers himself an Albertan after living out east for decades. It's not as if he lives or visits the riding that elected him. Weirdo.

Who would they replace Smith with? Mitch Sylvestre? That would be a disaster for the UCP. I for one would love watching them self implode.

“I think people within the UCP, you’re sick and tired of being lied to. Danielle promised that if we jump through the hoops, and if we got all the signatures and did what we were supposed to do, our question would be on a ballot this fall,” Rath said on Wednesday. globalnews.ca/news/1185774...

So separatism is on? “Overwhelming” support for a referendum question? I can’t see this working well for her…

Global is owned by Corus Entertainment. Corus is in financial dire straits and trading at 3 cents a share. The Alberta government could probably buy the entire company for less than what they're paying for the premier's fireside chat.

I'm expecting the worst... which is what I expect every time she opens her mouth.

So, address today, media availability tomorrow. This suggests that it's true that the address was pre-recorded. When was it recorded, I wonder?

Did she re-pre-record herself saying different stupid shit, it is this the same stupid shit she pre-recorded the first time?

NEW: Government of Alberta officially announces Premier Danielle Smith will address Albertans tonight on television at 6:45pm.

The reality after the local elections, not the bias situation spun by the news media.

So the 🍁gun cult, which has incited hatred against the last two Prime Minister, countless Liberal cabinet ministers and MPs, now whips up the mob against a T shirt? Meanwhile, we have the CEO of the Canadian Coalition “Firearm Rights” condemning an entire government as “evil” and “bad people”. 🤔
