The provincial UCP government has ruined healthcare, underfunded public education, shamelessly promoted rapid population growth without building the hospitals or classrooms to handle it. Now they want to scapegoat immigrants for all of it. #abpoli #NoToTheNine

Political graphic featuring a glass laboratory flask containing bright blue liquid and a radiation warning symbol, suggesting toxicity. Text reads: “I VOTED FOR OPTION 1 TO REMAIN IN CANADA. NO TO THE NINE OTHER QUESTIONS.” The graphic concludes: “SHE IS TOXIC AND SO ARE HER QUESTIONS.” The design uses white and red lettering over a dark, dramatic laboratory-style background. An “adobe free image” credit appears in the lower-right corner.

Vote NO on Questions 1 through 9 (The Noxious Nine). Vote to Stay in Canada #abpoli notoscapegoating.ca

Graphic titled “IMMIGRANTS ARE PART OF THE SOLUTION – THE FACTS.” Four facts explain the contributions of immigrants and newcomers in Canada and Alberta. The first says newcomers make up 23% of Canada’s construction workforce, including 20% of roofers and 16% of electricians. The second says immigrants make up 25% of registered nurses and 37% of physicians across Canada, while Alberta ranks last among the 10 provinces in per-student education funding. The third says 90% of immigrants file income taxes in their first year and contribute to provincial revenues from Day 1. The fourth says recent immigrants contribute more than $5 billion annually in Alberta taxes and concludes that they already pay for services. A row of brightly coloured pencils fills the bottom of the graphic, representing people contributing their skills and work to the country.

I love this quote. I’m going to be using it. “How small are you willing to make your world until everyone agrees with you?” Honestly, this one stopped me in my tracks. #ABPoli #ABLeg #cdnpoli Alberta separatism has a story problem open.substack.com/pub/womenofa...

A miniature figure reclines casually in a blue deck chair on top of a giant tennis ball against a bright turquoise background. The image is paired with a quotation by Deirdre Mitchell-MacLean: “How small are you willing to make your world until everyone agrees with you?” The visual humorously suggests someone retreating into a small, self-contained world where everyone agrees with them.

Patrick Lennox nails it. 🎯 This article is a KEEPER. THE BIG LIE 👇 #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #TheBigLie #DanielleSmith #UCPCorruption #NoToTheNine #CorruptCare

A political graphic illustrating key themes from Patrick Lennox's article, "Alberta Separatism Is Built on a Big Lie," published in The Walrus. The image uses a dark red background with a prominent metaphor on the left: an amber glass apothecary poison bottle sealed with a black glass stopper. The bottle features a diamond-shaped orange hazard label displaying a skull and crossbones icon.

To the right of the bottle, a rounded white text card with a red border displays bold, high-contrast headline text and four bulleted points. At the top of the graphic, large uppercase text reads "THE BIG LIE" in dark red and white type. Below this heading, the card's main header states in bold black and red lettering: "PREMIER DANIELLE SMITH IS POISONING CANADIAN DEMOCRACY BY:"

The four red-bulleted points detail the specific mechanism of this "poisoning," drawing directly from Lennox's critique of the UCP's sovereignty movement:

Weaponizing radical political disinformation through far-right tactics to reshape Confederation

Mixing genuine Western grievance with an unconstitutional agenda to push a secession referendum

Distracting the electorate from $600M in provincial health care procurement corruption

Undermining national unity to invite foreign psychological warfare and interference

In the bottom left corner, small muted text credits the stock image base ("adobe free image"). The visual composition directly links Premier Smith's political tactics to a toxic substance, arguing that the provincial government leverages legitimate regional alienation to obscure illegal sovereignty efforts, hide procurement corruption scandals, and enable foreign interference that threatens Canadian constitutional democracy.

Her ballot questions aren't genuine, they are poison pills meant to trap us. #abpoli.

A dark, dramatic referendum graphic shows a hand with long red-and-black pointed nails holding a red apple, evoking the poison apple from a fairy tale. Text reads “I VOTED FOR OPTION 1 TO REMAIN IN CANADA,” followed by “NO TO THE NINE OTHER QUESTIONS.” On the right, white and red text reads “DON’T FALL FOR HER POISON APPLE QUESTIONS.” The black, white, and red design uses the apple as a metaphor for deceptive or misleading referendum questions.

Her fake crying is a sign that the leopards are coming. #abpoli

A leopard sits in a forest, turning its head to look over its shoulder. Large white text at the top reads, “THE LEOPARDS AREN’T HER ONLY PROBLEM. VOTERS ARE.” Additional large white text beside the leopard reads, “SHE BETTER LOOK OVER HER SHOULDER.” The image uses the leopard looking behind it as a visual metaphor for political pressure and the power of voters.
