Smith simply IGNORES the successful Forever Canadian petition, just as she consistently ignores the interests and wishes of the majority of Albertans. The caller was right. CALL AN ELECTION and we'll see what the voters think!

To set the record straight, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said today that about 30 per cent, or 1M, Albertans support independence. This is false. The latest IPSOS poll found about 15 per cent support for separation from Canada when those polled were informed about the "real-world consequences."

"To go to a foreign country and to ask for assistance in breaking up Canada," and THEN to say "I would expect the US administration to respect Canadian sovereignty" . . . Smith is mealy-mouthed, hypocritical, and at odds with everything that's good about Canada.🇨🇦 #ABpoli #cdnpoli

Your turn, @naheednenshi.bsky.social.

The front page of Alberta Courts website is now joint statement by chief justices of all three court levels, proclaiming the importance of judicial independence. albertacourts.ca

“We are taking the sign out of the window. The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy. But from the fracture, we can build something better, stronger, and more just.” A powerful reference to Václav Havel’s essay, and a plea for others to join us.

FAFO, US. #cdnpoli

"The Americans will always do the right thing after they have exhausted all the alternatives." -Winston Churchill

What pisses me off about this is that no one is asking Smith why the UCP hasn't made an attempt to diversify Alberta's economy Alberta has more to offer than fossil fuels Smith keeps screaming pipeline While profitable O&G corps hires less & less Albertans #ableg #abpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

As an Albertan, and a Canadian citizen, I would like to hear a very good reason as to why Rath, and the rest of the separatists meeting with the Trump administration, haven't been charged with treason #ableg #cdnpoli

At this point, it would be shocking if Mr. Bratt's election suspicions don't come to pass. Smith's UCP is not a confident party. They've got to try and stay ahead of the electorate (and the opposition) by keeping the chaos pot boiling vigorously. #ABpoli

Just as the vast majority of Canadians have an ingrained sense of fairness (seeing it in spades in voluntary push-back against bullying by the US administration), most Albertans share the sentiment. So Danielle Smith, your failure to recognize that trait is going to backfire badly. #ABleg #ABpoli

It sure would be nice if the Premier of Alberta would call out this treasonous behaviour by one of her own party members for what it is.

Unfortunately many parts of the world are currently ruled by grinches, including here in Alberta. And unfortunately, unlike the Dr. Seuss story, they are unlikely to have a change of heart.

It must be today's social environment, but I've been hearing versions of this tune a whole lot over the last month or so!

Agree 💯 With John......

Two tier healthcare is NOT simply an innovative approach to healthcare in Alberta (as the CBC would have us believe). It's actually a stepping stone on the very slippery path towards privatizing medical care! Doesn't include family medicine (yet), but it will happen if the scheme continues. #ABpoli

With some great observations by @caulfieldtim.bsky.social.

Sounds interesting, but how will this program deal with the need for many foreign trained physicians to enter a Canadian medical residency program, currently a major barrier for so many?

This is effectively elected official as judge. Ie a judiciary without independence.

Nenshi - So are you messing with recall or what's the deal? Smith - Yeah, we're making some changes on Thursday, but what I really want to talk about is how much the NDP hurt the coal companies. #cdnpoli

BREAKING! The #ForeverCanadian petition has been officially approved! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The last sentence is especially spot on. 🎯

Almost (but not really) feel sorry for Danielle Smith having to balance the desires and demands of the influential UCP separatist mob, with the expectations and needs of Alberta's majority population. An impossible situation in fact. Best solution will be to elect a different Prov. Gov't. #ABpoli

There's humour everywhere, if you look hard enough to find it!

I had absolutely nothing to do with the $100+ million DynaLife lab service debacle. Except when I represented them as a lobbyist to the UCP while I was president of the Alberta Enterprise Group which they were members. Read: www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art... #abpoli #ableg #UCPCorruption

RICH!!! MAPLE MAGA Premiere Smith calling for a Team Canada approach for her pipeline. Yet she wasn’t on Team Canada when her buddy Trump started with 51st State rhetoric. When Carney and all the Premieres got together for their 1st Team Canada meeting. Dani didn’t attend she was still in Florida 🤬

Evangelical Christianity a Big Driver of Alberta's Authoritarian Libertarianism? Yup, IMO. ~25% of Alberta identify as evangelical Christians. Explains a lot, doesn't it? #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli youtu.be/5iV9_2t9buo

Premier Smith asked if there will be changes to recall act. Says threshold won't change, but raises issues on how MLAs can defend themselves, fears that go fund me campaigns are being funded by foreign actors and that the AFL is bussing people into ridings to help campaigns.

Danielle Smith and her "R-Star" ideas are way out of step with Albertans it seems. Her entire approach to governance is to ignore the will of the people. Actually surprising that she has been able to get away with it, but the cracks are beginning to grow wider. #ABpoli

IDEA: A Hallmark Christmas movie about an Alberta premier who refuses to be photographed with Santa unless he's seated, titled 'Notwithstanding Claus'.

What do you call a group that demands total freedom, but panics the moment anyone demands theirs? It’s a purity cult. If they override you, it’s stability. If you assert yourself, it’s chaos. They want to control who has a voice. #ForeverCanadian upset that order, so they want to change the law.

www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/18/o... The math ain't mathin' Dani Clearer version? Danielle Smith is full of shit. Straight up liar.

Danielle Smith has a plan: Alberta will destroy health care in order to save it! albertapolitics.ca/2025/11/dani... #ableg #abpoli #HumanRights

Hear, hear to that sentiment! Smith has yet to prove she has the best interests of average Albertans at heart in ANY regard. She hasn't done one thing to make life better or more affordable for typical Albertans.

see also: smith claiming alberta couldn't stop measles from returning because, 'highly contagious disease is hard to control, especially since people can travel freely from province to province or to Alberta from around the world' lady, it was gone under those same conditions until you came along!

Another treasonous Alberta delegation heads to Mar-a-Lago to negotiate Trump’s 51’st state fantasy and USA’s takeover of Canadian natural resources. Please, register at Forever-Canadian.ca and donate to our effort to keep Alberta in Canada. #cdnpoli #AbLeg nationalpost.com/news/another...

Less we forget...

Caller - Healthcare is collapsing and privatization doesn't solve anything, what are you going to do? Smith - Well, healthcare was struggling when there were experts involved, so we've gotten rid of them and feel pretty confident. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The teachers suing her for abusing the notwithstanding clause, is 100% pure democracy in ACTION! Smith is such a bloody idiot spouting that MAGA style bullshit.

Jackboots, eh? Maybe there was a sale on in an Edmonton surplus store.

It is so discouraging to live in Alberta. That’s all. Like a whack-a-mole out of control. Create the repeal act, defund the repeal act. Say they will fund students, change the rules again. #helpAB #ConservativesRunningScared #FundPublicSchool #SaveWater #RepealRepealshahaha #DumpDani

There are few lessons to be learned here: - Consider who the source is 🤥 - Don’t count chickens before they hatch 🐣 - Never underestimate the #ForeverCanadian movement 💪 #CdnPoli #AbLeg

mRNA ftw!

Behold! The Total Recall Alberta 'Wall of Shame'. Alberta's latest lottery game. Time will tell! Even #DaleNally would call this exciting red tape. 📋 #RecallThemAll #AlbertaBingo #Abpoli #ABleg operationtotalrecall.ca

How could the UCP make a bad problem worse? By changing recall laws as recalls are being filed across the province. Keep Bill 2 as is and they'll lose in 2027. Change recall legislation so it's harder to recall them and they'll lose badly. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #yeg #yyc #abed #ucp #firetheucp

Keep your eyes on Operation Total Recall (linked below). This is certain to raise the hackles of the UCP braintrust, as the efforts are gaining traction. There are now a great many motivated volunteers in Alberta, willing to gather signatures. The UCP may yet reap what they've sown. #ABpoli
