Six years of polling. The government's own consultation found majority opposition. No municipality has signed on. Bill 15 passed anyway. So who exactly is Alberta's new police force being built for? Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/bill-15-al... #abpoli #alberta #daniellesmith

Most Canadians assume somebody is making sure governments answer for their actions. What if that's not how the system actually works? Who really holds premiers accountable? Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/the-accoun... #abpoli #cdnpoli #factsmtr

Billions in proposed AI investment. Former Crown land. Water licenses. Power demands. Court challenges. What has changed to make it possible, and what is Alberta getting in return? Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/albertas-d... #abpoli #ableg #alberta

The question is not whether these methods work. The evidence shows they do. The question is who will learn and use them. Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/why-the-ma... #abpoli #cdnpoli #civicaction #factsmtr

The claims sounded convincing. The evidence tells another story. Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/facts-vs-c... #abpoli #alberta #factsmtr

What if the problem isn't a lack of resistance? What if the problem is that resistance has become the product? Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/the-resist... #abpoli #cdnpoli

The Greenbelt, Ontario Place, and Billy Bishop expose the same question: What happens when accountability has no consequences? Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/the-overri... #ontario #dougford #cdnpoli

Rob Anderson co-authored the Free Alberta Strategy. Danielle Smith chose Rob to run her campaign and made his plan her platform. The referendum has no wrong answer for Smith. Every result moves the plan forward. Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/the-free-a... #abpoli #alberta #ableg

Two provinces were found breaking their freedom of information laws. Both changed the laws to make it legal. Both blamed Ottawa. Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/alberta-an... #cdnpoli #abpoli #ontario #alberta

Smith's "700,000 Albertans" claim does not survive the evidence. She repeats it anyway. The October 19 referendum is built on a claim the public record does not support. Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/danielle-s... #abpoli #Alberta

Alberta's Smith government just added the most important constitutional question in a generation to a ballot — in an environment no one can call secure, and a question that can't be answered. Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/why-albert... #cdnpoli #abpoli

Holy Cow!!!! How much was the fix in? The UCP released a media release announcing their separatist referendum before the committee had even voted! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

First Nations are fighting for consultation rights the Alberta government is constitutionally required to respect. Two court rulings sided with them. The consultation still hasn’t happened. Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/they-were-... #abpoli #alberta #cdnpoli #factsmtr

Two Alberta court rulings stopped the separatist petition. The courts blocked the separatist petition. They did not block Danielle Smith. Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/is-alberta... #alberta #abpoli #ableg #factsmtr

Alberta just passed Bill 31 — allowing cabinet-approved sales of Albertans' personal data to private corporations. Alberta just had Canada’s largest voter data breach. The two are now connected. Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/bill-31-al... #abpoli #alberta #factsmtr

Heads up - “I can confirm David Parker is not cooperating with the investigation and he has refused to sign a statutory declaration confirming that he will comply with my Direction to cease and desist with respect to the list of electors,” Elections Alberta CEO Gordon McClure told CityNews.

Danielle Smith said Alberta’s election changes were about integrity and public confidence. The documented record tells a very different story. Factsmtr tested the claims against the evidence. factsmtr.substack.com/p/politician... #AbPoli #Alberta #Factsmtr

Smith cited foreign interference risk to get CSIS clearance. Her government cited the RCMP to dismiss that same risk. Both can't be true. The PCO approved it anyway. Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/the-nation... #abpoli #alberta #canada #cdnpoli

Alberta’s voter data breach exposed more than names — it exposed permanent identifiers. This isn’t a typical data breach. That changes the risk. Here's practical steps Albertan's can take now to protect identity, accounts, and personal safety. factsmtr.substack.com/p/alberta-vo... #alberta

The report who alerted Elections Alberta speaks and boy does she speak. www.youtube.com/live/JF8_2DQ...

The Smith government’s position is to wait. Albertans’ voter data was exposed. How long it was publicly accessible is unknown. Here’s what is known, what remains unknown, and what the current process cannot resolve: factsmtr.substack.com/p/alberta-vo... #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Peter Lougheed built an arm’s-length election system. The UCP changed it to protect themselves. Less oversight. More risk. And now Albertan's are paying for it. Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/elections-... #abpoli #ableg #electionsalberta

2.9 million Albertans’ voter data appeared in a political targeting system. Not a theory. Not speculation. The details matter. Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/what-is-th... #abpoli #alberta #centurionproject

Nine questions. (maybe 10) Some results aren’t legally binding. Others can’t be implemented without other governments. The cost is clear. What the vote can actually change isn't. Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/albertas-2... #abpoli #alberta #cdnpoli #referendum

Democracy comes from the Greek term dēmokratia. dēmos meaning "people" and kratos meaning "power" Civic action is the actual practice of using democratic tools to create change. That's the power of the people. factsmtr.substack.com/p/collective... #abpoli #cdnpoli #canada

Alberta says private diagnostic testing will reduce wait times. They didn't cite a single study. Not one piece of evidence. There's a reason for that. They said it. We checked it. You decide. Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/politician... #abpoli #ableg #DanielleSmith #Bill29

Coal is being sold as an economic win. The question is whether the numbers actually prove it. Here's the fact-check on the claims on jobs, royalties, and market demand. factsmtr.substack.com/p/politician... #abpoli #DanielleSmith #albertacoal

A plan is not proof. Alberta reopened coal development. The evidence that stopped it hasn’t changed. Four claims. One record. Quote by quote. Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/politician... #alberta #DanielleSmith #grassymountaincoal
