The NDP have released a statement condemning violence after a Muslim school in Calgary received emails threatening to kill children & telling Muslims to leave Canada. It appears there is no similar statement from the premier. Or her Justice Minister. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

"It’s worth noting the political context: Developers wanted greenfield projects but couldn’t win a city election, so they got the province to change the electoral rules to allow them to contribute more money to campaigns and form parties to pursue their ends."

Casually throwing away a decade of work, probably 10s of millions of dollars worth, and making Edmonton start from scratch. Stopping a building boom in its tracks too. Red tape reduction my ass.

Edmonton will be required to adopt rules for high-density infill development that revert to the parameters in place before its 2024 zoning changes for housing types, density and height, and to restore minimum on-site parking requirements in place before 2020. Edmonton will have three months from Oct. 8 to amend its bylaw.

45 years ago this province was booming. We hosted the Olympics, we were building hospitals and homes and we had a Heritage Fund. Conservatives have driven it down, down, down. They have no one to blame but themselves. Where the hell is the Heritage fund? Immigrants didn't destroy us;white trash did.

We can't forget.. Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology that prioritizes the nation—and often a specific race or ethnic group—above the individual.

There it is. Elon Musk now advocating for Alberta separation. That should perhaps be one of the biggest reasons to vote to stay. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I didn't mince my words. Alberta's anti-immigration referendum questions are racist. They are also a potential disaster for Alberta's economy. Last night, I rose in the Senate to denounce them - and to thank all the thousands of Albertans fighting against them. Please share. #notothenine #cdnpoli

Population per seat is already strained, would you make Ontarians have their vote worth less? Canadians sharply divided on parliamentary seat representation by population: Poll - The Hub share.google/MeGSmc4ZCvGx...

Canadians sharply divided on parliamentary seat representation by population: Poll

Rural and urban Canadians are at odds over how Parliament should represent them. The divide runs deeper than you might think.

You can tell how politically important the October 19 referendums are to the UCP by the number of cabinet ministers currently on international trips two weeks ahead of the vote.

This is enraging, heartbreaking and wholly unnecessary. It’s also healthcare under Danielle Smith’s “refocusing”. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.facebook.com/share/v/1Dkc...

About "Rise of Alberta"... Back in January, "Rise of Alberta" co-opted an opinion piece written by a First Nations man from Ontario... The overlap between Rise of Alberta and Keith Wilson was undeniable, even back then. (From our Jan 18th episode) #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

@thebreakdownab.bsky.social linked Wilson to Rise of Alberta on Jan. 18 because the website at one point listed a St. Albert address that is the same as Wilson's law office. They also disclosed that Wilson's law office address is actually a UPS store. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8er...

Have you received Danielle Smith and the UCP’s $4 million propaganda brochure? It’s full of lies, and taxpayers shouldn’t be on the hook for it, never mind the $200 million referendum.

Just yesterday, Danielle Smith declared that no one should have to pay to clean up someone else’s mess. So why are we all on the hook for $134 million because she can’t control the separatists in her party & her caucus? #abpoli
