Smith is a flat earther, who believes in chem tails, thinks smoking is good for you and wants us all to pay double for our health care. She has no respect for anyone or thing. pressprogress.ca/danielle-smi... She is not that smart. We need to pressure her and get her to resign. #ableg #abpoli #ucp

At this point, they're trying to sellout to become America's 51st state, except the US will not want the people -- just the land for assets like Venezuela. I love how Calgary's mayor said, "If you want to become American, go move there." Albertans better VOTE STAY IN 🇨🇦.

Smith is going to get eaten alive by her own base at her next leadership review if/when the "stay in Canada" option wins the referendum vote. The right flank of her base will oust her for being too woke, just like what happened with Jason Kenney. edmontonjournal.com/news/premier... #ABLeg #ABPoli

October Calendar with election dates

October 2026 voting calendar for the Alberta referendum, presented as a large monthly calendar with voting deadlines and key dates highlighted. The header reads “OCTOBER 2026” in red and dark gray, with Forever Canadian and Canadiens pour toujours logos on the left and a QR code labeled “ELECTIONS ALBERTA” with the text “For up-to-date information” on the right. The calendar runs Sunday through Saturday, with Sundays shown in red.

Key information shown on the calendar includes: October 9, highlighted in red, with the message “LAST RECOMMENDED DAY TO MAIL your completed special ballot package.” A yellow sticky note also says “Mail ballot package back 9.” October 12 is labeled Thanksgiving Day. A green highlighted bar spanning October 13 through October 17 reads “ADVANCE VOTING,” with arrows pointing in both directions. October 16 is marked in red with the message “5:00 PM DEADLINE Elections Alberta must receive your completed special ballot package.” October 19 is marked with a blue sticky note reading “REFERENDUM DAY.” Later dates are shown in gray.

The calendar footer lists “Forever-canadian.ca | Canadiens-toujours.ca.” The design uses a clean white background with gray calendar lines, large black date numbers, red accents for Sundays and important deadlines, and colored sticky-note graphics to emphasize mailing and referendum dates.

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.
