By hook or by crook, Alberta government is committed to give separatists an opportunity to vote for breaking up Canada. Now it appears that the Premier wants to be the proponent of a separatism referendum, using the #ForeverCanadian question without First Nations consultation.

It’s game day! Game 6 Habs vs Sabres

Charlie Angus on impact of Canadian boycott of US travel: "Many tourist locations are talking about drops of 50% ... There's areas where the losses have been as high as 80%. We're not bragging as Canadians. We're doing something to defend our sovereignty and put the pressure on MAGA."

www.albertadoctors.o... Let's translate AB: When the govt says "dual practice" and "flexibility," they really mean legalized queue-jumping. AB docs just put forward 70 safeguards because without strict rules, this plan will break our already struggling health system.🧵 1/6

It’s wild how… The same people who are saying song meanings don’t matter… Are the some ones who absolutely lost their minds (and still do) when the Canadian National Anthem was updated. Just… Wild. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

You can’t convince me this guy is real. He’s a self parody. Someone typed into an AI generator, “Cartoonish parody of a Berta separatist who is a disgraced ditchbilly lawyer but inspired by Boss Hogg.” And that’s how we got Rath.

For once, the Alberta separatists have a right to be angry. That's because Danielle Smith wasted their time and energy with a petition that was unconstitutional and bound to get set aside by the courts. Now, will they turn their sights on her? #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/15/o...

CTV National News, thank you for giving me the opportunity to summarize the state of politics in Alberta. #ForeverCanadian has a long battle ahead, but with the support of all Canadians, the rule of law will prevail. #ableg #cdnpoli youtu.be/dnp3q6aIplE

While Mary Simon was celebrated in the role during her time as governor general, she also faced racism and abuse online, underscoring the backlash Indigenous people continue to face even as Canada attempts to move forward on reconciliation.

Randy Boissonnault: "You cannot sit down with the feds and negotiate a new deal that will make Albertans more prosperous and Canada stronger on a Monday and then put a referendum question on the ballot on Friday. The Premier needs to pick a lane."

🚨BREAKING!!!🚨 The UCP are literally defunding the courts! As the UCP throws money to support a separatist referendum through the courts… Alberta will no longer pay the people who type the court transcripts in criminal court (court reporters) #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The contempt for the judiciary is ramping up. And it’s coming directly from inside Alberta’s premiers office. Attempts like this to delegitimize the judiciary are a huge red flag for democracy and 100% the tools of authoritarians. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Corey Hogan on a possible separation referendum: "There's not an electoral mandate, say what you will about Quebec's separatism, but there are people that elect governments to be separatists to have questions like that. No such thing in Alberta."

This is being overshadowed with the petition news, but Elections Alberta confirmed today it actually thinks ‘thousands’ accessed the leaked voter list, not just the 566 it sent cease-and-desist letters too last week. From me & @reportrix.bsky.social: www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/prairies_bc/...

"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

Jordan Leichnitz: "You can't expect Albertans to fairly vote on this question when it's clear that the forces in favour of separation are cheating."

Alberta's Deputy Chief Electoral Officer says thousands of people may have accessed voter data

BREAKING!!!! A judge has ruled that the Elections Alberta CEO’s issuing of the separatist petition was a violation and the decision to issue that has been quashed. The push to have an illegal petition has killed itself! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

That's reassuring. Scope of access to leaked Alberta voter list may be incomplete: Elections Alberta ca.news.yahoo.com/scope-access...

BREAKING! Today the UCP not only voted to circumvent the Chief Justice of Alberta, but they also voted to hide the letter the Chief Justice wrote raising concerns about the UCP's boundary process! We have the text of the letter in our new Substack! #abpoli open.substack.com/pub/thebreak...

Martin Patriquin: "The stuff that's coming out of David Parker's mouth, talking about immigration, talking about deporting immigrants who got here after 2015, who might've gotten the vaccine. This is the kind of stuff that's being left unchecked."

CBC's Erin Collins: "Elections Alberta is saying [David] Parker's refusing to cooperate with their investigation, and he's refused to comply with that cease and desist order to stop using that electors list."

NEW: Mikisew Cree First Nation is suing Alberta and Canada govts over oilsands development effects. They allege industrial development has harmed lands and waterways, disturbing traditional practices and contributing to negative health outcomes.

CBC New's Erin Collins on David Parker: "In a nutshell, Parker is a big player in both the governing United Conservative Party and the province's sovereignty movement."

ICYMI: Elections Alberta received ** two ** tips that the Centurion Project may have had unauthorized access to Alberta's list of electors and twice said it did not have enough info to launch an investigation: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... w @mattscace.bsky.social
