Danielle Smith got a reality check from Wab Kinew at last week's Western Premiers' Conference. It's not the only one coming for Conservative politicians who refuse to learn what the duty to consult really means -- and why it matters. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/06/05/o...

Let’s remember that we also need to say NO to the nine noxious referendum questions. Proud to add my name to this open letter. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #Alberta #saynotothenine

Anthropic and OpenAI are dangerous and unsustainable companies that shouldn’t be taken public. The AI bubble is a con and retail investors are the marks. AI doesn’t have ROI, it’s nothing like AWS or Uber, and it’s got no post-bubble recovery story. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbKD...

I like metaphors. So here’s an extended one about how Danielle Smith and the UCP are attacking & undermining our public healthcare system, pushing it to the point of collapse. The damage is deep, but it can be stopped. An Alberta NDP government will build our healthcare system back. #abpoli

99.95%of AISH recipients meet the stringent medical and financial criteria honestly. <0.05% AISH recipients have been convicted of fraud ADAP recipients will make $1740/mo to survive UCP MLAs, after a 3.1% raise, have base salary of >127K, cabinet >189K & bunch of other perks #UCPareGhouls

"Alberta’s premier needs to be demolished in the court of social media and on television, at scale and in volume" -- Yes, this. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

“This is the worst breach in Canadian history involving voter data,” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli oipc.ab.ca/information-...

“'You're free to leave. You won't be taking any land with you,' says Woodhouse Nepinak” www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

So many people who can reasonably be described as “that little shit” are in charge of so much of society.

I think this is grounds for Canada to send him packing. Countries prefer ambassadors who don’t call for the annexation of their country, last I checked. #CanadaStrong

In which the NY Times does to Alberta’s separatist movement what it’s spent the last decade doing to Donald Trump: normalizing the abnormal, and sane-washing the deluded and deranged. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/w...

Jason Kenney learned this the hard way. Danielle Smith might be about to as well. When you keep feeding your base nothing but rage-bait and anger fuel, you risk putting your own face on the menu. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/29/o...

From the DM’s… Looks like #YEG showed up to stand up for their rights! Tag us in your photos from across the province! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

We have shut down Jasper Ave

I'm hoping this is the dam breaking. For far too long people, journalists, talk-show hosts, have allowed her to spew her sh*t without pushback. That needs to stop. Must stop. Call. Her. Out. #abpoli @cbcnews.ca @ctvnewscalgary.bsky.social @ctvnewsedmonton.bsky.social @globalnews.ca

I'm fine with this response to Budget Goebbels Stephen Miller. Pearl clutchers should go live inside a cave and write an essay about civility.

Distribute this widely. It's designed to counter the disinformation of the Alberta Prosperity Project and its supporters.

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew pictured yesterday explaining the difference between 'reality' and 'pandering' to Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, while unidentified man in centre considers his lunch order.

I am an Albertan. I am an Albertan by birth. I was born at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton. I am an Alberta by family descent. My paternal grandmother's cousins - the family advance party - arrived in Edmonton before 1905, when Alberta became a province. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli 🧵

i genuinely hate how internet culture has become so normalized and widespread. i do not want a white house deputy chief of staff saying "it's white boy november" or a secretary of state tweeting that he's "locked in for this banger." grow up.

This other segment is also worth a watch. Start to finish. www.facebook.com/share/v/1HCr...

Alberta’s legal institutions are now united in refusing to help United Conservatives launch their do-over riding boundaries commission. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... by @joeldryden.bsky.social

Come on out Alberta. Spread the word

Holding a separation referendum in hopes it loses and the movement withers away, eh, Premier Smith? Ask a Brit or Quebecer how that turns out. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... by me

With all the talk about the UCPs $50M non-binding questionnaire... it shouldn't be forgotten almost 3M ABs had their private information leaked...

Danielle Smith is so unbelievably full of shit

The week @nationalobserver.com broke news about a Trump-linked US company hosting Albertans' electoral data, our site started suffering from massive outages. Our provider tells us their servers are under attack. We don't know if we're the target, but the timing is weird. Thanks for bearing with us!

I wrote about how Danielle Smith took a good, hard look at the existential damage that could be done to Alberta and to Canada by a separatism campaign and she decided that one thing mattered above all: Danielle Smith. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/opi...

If you start with a massively incorrect false premise it becomes very easy to accuse the feds of legislative overreach.

Danielle Smith vows to do everything humanly possible to keep Alberta in Canada – over and over and over again. The lady doth protest too much, methinks. albertapolitics.ca/2026/05/dani... #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

I am born and raised in Alberta, and live there now. I'll be voting against any form of separation. From now until the vote in October, I will use my online reach to campaign against the separatists and ensure this discussion of separation ends for good in 2026.

Local woman scheduled to speak out of both sides of her mouth later today.

"In a triumph of the middling, in a nod to mediocrity... this rebuke to the exemplary gives hope to those unfavored by the exceptional..." Anyways... Here's Alberta's new cabinet ministers! (Not listed, Nate Glubish's additional role as Minister of Constituitional Disassembly.)

Wild story.. I signed up for the website of the US Republican group 10XVotes on Monday to test how it works. What I found was a search tool packed exclusively with the names and addresses of Albertans. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/20/i...

As an Albertan, I'm embarrassed and angry. As an analyst, I'm torn.

“Awkward” is a generous way of describing the moment everyone, including the UCP’s own committee chair, realized they were outed for who they really are: Anti-democratic, irresponsible, incompetent separatists. youtube.com/shorts/9G-CT...

WTF happened in Alberta today? @mattscace.bsky.social and I have you covered --> www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

"Canada’s National Observer has found a similar app on 10XVotes’ website stocked exclusively with names and addresses of several thousand Albertans.” ##abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/20/i...

I knew that the MLA Committee was going to be a sham. But releasing a statement while the Committee was still deliberating is conclusive proof. Couldn't they just delay pressing send to give them a semblance of plausible deniability?

SCOOP: Premier Danielle Smith appointee to Invest Alberta's board is not an accredited accountant, despite claiming so for more than a decade: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... By @tomcardoso.bsky.social and friend

This is appalling. And it is the perfectly logical consequence of the Alberta government’s anti immigrant rhetoric and referendum questions. #yyc #ableg #abpoli #referendumb2026

So to sum up, don’t expect the Premier to be doing anything over the next few months that isn’t in effort of keeping her job by pacifying and stupefying the seppies, while using separatism as a distraction to the AHS scandal, her corrupt gov’t, & her failure on EVERY FILE in gov’t. /end #ableg

I really needed @maxfawcett.bsky.social to put this out today. Thankfully, he did. Highly recommend for the clarity and perspective it offers.

If you believe there are 300,000 valid signatures on the Stay Free Alberta petition, I have a privately-owned pipeline to the West Coast to sell you.
