They're coming for abortion. Just in case you thought the stakes in Alberta's referendum aren't high enough... Re-read question 9. Then try and tell yourself this doesn't create a back door for the anti-women's healthcare caucus to come after abortion rights in Alberta. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This is just such a fundamentally dishonest piece. EV sales *are* surging everywhere in the world except the United States. It's almost like America is the outlier here -- and that this is a reflection of domestic political and policy choices. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Opinion: The Iran oil shock should mean EV sales are surging – so why aren’t they?
High sticker prices, slow introduction of new models, and lack of charging infrastructure continue to dog the sector’s ability to take advantage

They claim temporary residents are "draining healthcare." The truth? They account for just 1.27% of the budget…$342 compared to the $7,200 spent on average Albertans. The system was broken by cuts, not immigrants. Sign the pledge to vote NO: 5x.ca/home #ableg #abpoli #canpoli

People say we can't afford the Green New Deal. Can we afford the $150 billion+ in damages from extreme weather events every year? The cost of inaction is always higher than the cost of transition. We aren't choosing between the economy and the environment.

I remain concerned that the premier will use any potential problems on referendum day/on Elections Alberta's part to justify *another* referendum -- one that would presumably keep the separatists off her back for a little while longer. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/17/o...

Forget about banning American imports. In Alberta, the government is actively importing as many aspects of their political culture as possible. The latest: election denialism.

Hi, it's Robin from Meet Coal.
Alberta coal workers are under attack from activists who want to shut down good-paying resource jobs.
Do you agree Alberta workers deserve support, not shutdowns?
