🚨BREAKING!🚨 The UCP have officially voted to ditch the Electoral Boundaries Commission Report to appoint their own commission and draw their own maps! Gerrymandering is official UCP policy in Alberta! Contrary to her script, Smith didn't even show up for the vote.

Danielle Smith is not a conservative, not a libertarian conservative, and not a libertarian populist as she has claimed. She is something Canada has never seen before. #cdnpoli markhamhislop.substack.com/p/is-daniell...

#ForeverCanadian will win the referendum despite the premier’s and foreign interference, despite foreign cash backing separatism, and despite Alberta Government constantly gerrymandering laws to favor separatists. Why? Because we will spare no effort fighting for Canada🇨🇦 #ableg

Danielle Smith wants to double production. Genocide "There are now over 1.4 trillion litres of toxic water in the tailings ponds. - The oil industry is seeking federal permission to begin dumping toxic water into the badly stressed Athabasca River system. charlieangus.substack.com/p/they-are-k...

3 UCP legislature committee members forced a vote through to deny me, the proponent of #ForeverAlberta petition, Alberta’s largest ever petition, to appear before the committee and speak on behalf of the nearly 500,000 Albertans. This is another move to assist the separatists.

When a sitting U.S. president makes insulting remarks about Canada and threatens its sovereignty, I’ll criticize the United States and its administration if I bloody well please. What happens in that country has a big impact in the world, so no, I won’t “stay in my own lane.”

This doesn't surprise me.

At what point does the obvious foreign political interference here get flagged as a national threat and dealt with accordingly?

Ĺ O U D E R for those in the back.

Fascinating story by @charlesrusnell.bsky.social on intersection of AI and foreign interference in Alberta’s separation campaign. It raises many troubling questions. Who is paying for AI slop disinformation? And who is consuming it? And how on earth can those on the No side compete? #ableg #abpoli

Dani the Decider has decided and you’re getting permanent daylight savings time whether you like it or not! You thought there was no right or wrong answer on DST? Turns out there is when Danielle Smith is in charge. albertapolitics.ca/2026/04/dani...

A network of Youtube accounts amassed 40 million views for videos that promote the U.S. annexation of Alberta, according to a new report. 👀 “These slopaganda-type channels really ratchet up the emotional language and the polarization,” an analyst told the Star.  New from @alexboyd.bsky.social:

Allegedly tRump tried to grab the nuclear codes in a White House meltdown—only for the Joint Chiefs chairman to stand up and say “No.” Apparently, even the military knows this unhinged man is too dangerous for the football. How much longer can America risk it? mcsp.short.gy/A86o

Another voice raising concerns over Alberta's plan to redraw the electoral map, with the Canadian Civil Liberties Association saying the UCP's plan "casts a doubt over the equity and fairness of Alberta’s electoral process."

And not one person with the balls to stop it. #cdnpoli #uspoli

President Donald Trump has dragged the U.S. into a "really dangerous" situation that he can't get out of, according to one analyst.

“The Premier… stated (incorrectly) that the retired judge who had chaired the commission raised the possibility of using voters, rather than residents, as the basis for drawing boundaries. It wasn’t the Chair, but rather the two UCP appointees who suggested this” open.substack.com/pub/lisayoun...

President of Finland Alexander Stubb: "I think Canada in terms of its hold, composure, its value base is so close to the EU that the least we can do is to forge a really close strategic partnership. I can envisage a much larger EU, whether Canada is a part of it or not, is up to Canada to decide."

"(Here in Canada) oil and gas, which is largely foreign-owned, largely U.S.-owned, aren’t doing their part. (Instead)...increasing our emissions and ...demanding that Canadian taxpayers pay the bill for cleaning up the pollution they cause and building pipelines they won’t risk their own money on.”

8 children are dead. Ask every Republican you know if any of these were their child, what would they do to prevent future murders.

WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/

Guess what! Alberta is intervening in a Quebec Supreme Court case about electoral boundaries. “The Attorney General of Alberta intervenes in this appeal in support of the ability of provincial legislatures to craft legislation that ensures the effective representation of their citizens”

Conservatives upset that a majority Liberal government wants to stop them from using committees to obstruct & grandstand, which was actually at one time published by the CPC as a handbook to harass the operations of the House of Commons (gift article). #cdnpoli www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

"fossil fuels aren’t just bad for the planet’s health. They are geopolitically fragile. By contrast, the sun doesn’t flow through contested waterways. The wind can’t be sanctioned. Renewables aren’t just clean – they’re sovereign." www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/pe...

Looks like Rob is back to demonizing journalists for telling the truth. Which is a hallmark of what kind of government again? Emma Graney has been covering Alberta and Alberta Politics for a decade. Alberta is lucky to have journos like her. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Make it stop‼️

MAGA hates us. They kiss Putin's ring but hate their neighbour. They hate Canada because we are democratic. Because we refuse to bend the knee. Because our economy is strongest in the G7. There can be no peace between our nations until MAGA is defeated. nationalnewswatch.com/2026/04/17/t...

The UCP barely held on to 12 out of 36 seats in Edmonton (0/20) and Calgary (12/26) in the last election. No wonder Danielle thinks she has to cheat via gerrymandering. #Canada #CanadaSky #Alberta #abpoli #ableg #yyc #yeg #UCPcorruption

Alberta’s #UCP government served notice in the legislature Thursday it intends to toss out the entire report of the 2025-26 Electoral Boundaries Commission. This is unprecedented as far as electoral boundary commissions go, but not a complete surprise, writes @djclimenhaga.bsky.social. #abpoli

"We are being asked to accept permanent environmental damage, long‑term public liability and water risks that can't be engineered away, all to support an industry in structural decline that contributes little in royalties and is largely owned by foreign investors."You tell 'em,@corblund.bsky.social.

Today's essential read for all Albertans. And not to disparage @thetyee.ca, but this is a major, national story, that CBC and Postmedia and all MSM should be covering. kudos to @charlesrusnell.bsky.social for the excellent reporting. thetyee.ca/News/2026/04...

I am sick of the US blaming us in Canada for what their corrupt US government is causing, not only with Canada, but the entire freaking planet Touch grass assholes!! www.ctvnews.ca/video/2026/0...

The black line marks city boundaries. The red lines show how the UCP aims to weaken your vote by gerrymandering Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, and Red Deer into pieces to rig the election. We can't let Danielle Smith get away with it.

Danielle Smith has a plan to destroy public health care in Alberta—and she’s not doing it alone. Documents and lobbying records reveal the government is consulting directly with Canada’s private insurance giants on how to implement two-tier health care, reports @nikbarryshaw.bsky.social

“Bill 11… allows physicians to treat patients in the public health care system while also charging them fees, creating a two-tiered system for those who can pay and those who cannot.” Over 50 organizations have written to Ottawa to urge enforcement of the Canada Health Act.

Orban was funding the Reform support network.

"Companies are more than willing to take Albertan resources for profit, only to avoid the cost of cleaning up their contaminated sites through bankruptcy.

Today the Archbishop of Canterbury and HH the Dalai Lama have announced their solidarity with Pope Leo.

They are literally making it up as they go along. When they don't like the outcome, the Smith government rigs the process. It's a worrisome pattern for those who care about procedural fairness and institutional forebearance. You know, real conservatives.

First, their health minister used confidential info to intimidate a critic. Then another accessed a recall proponent's voting records. Now another wants to know what Albertans are reading in public libraries. When will UCP libertarians stand up? www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...
