Important dates. Please pass on. #abpoli
October 2026 calendar titled “IMPORTANT DATES” showing key Alberta referendum and voting deadlines. October 1–3 appear in the first week, followed by October 4–10. A note on October 9 reads “LAST RECOMMENDED DAY TO MAIL your completed special ballot package,” with a yellow sticky note emphasizing “Mail ballot package back” and the number 9 in red. October 11–17 shows Thanksgiving Day on October 12 and a green highlighted “ADVANCE VOTING” period from October 13–17, with arrows indicating the voting period. A red deadline note on October 16 states “5:00 PM DEADLINE Elections Alberta must receive your completed special ballot package.” A blue sticky note marks October 19 as “REFERENDUM DAY.” October 20–31 are shown in lighter gray. The calendar footer says “For up-to-date information elections.ab.ca.” Dates and deadlines are presented visually with red, green, yellow and blue highlights to make key actions easier to identify.

Poster advertising a “North American Day of Protest Against Data Centres” on Saturday, October 3, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Alberta Provincial Legislature in Edmonton. The poster uses bold black, red and cream typography and an illustration of a large data centre rising above a rural landscape, with its foundations depicted as red, tree-like roots spreading across the land. Text emphasizes land, water, people and communities, and says “Big Tech takes more than power. It takes our tomorrow.” The event promises music, speakers and solidarity.

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. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #NoToTheNine
Infographic titled “IMMIGRANTS ARE PART OF THE SOLUTION - THE FACTS.” Four facts state that newcomers make up 23% of Canada’s construction workforce, including 20% of roofers and 16% of electricians; immigrants make up 25% of registered nurses and 37% of physicians across Canada; 90% of immigrants file income taxes in their first year; and recent immigrants contribute over $5 billion annually in Alberta taxes. Colourful sharpened pencils line the bottom of the graphic, representing the diverse contributions of immigrants to Canadian society.

This is false and misleading. There is nothing in the constitution that would require Ottawa to negotiate with Alberta if a majority of Albertans choose Option 2 on Question 10. Alberta Proud is a registered third-party advertiser. Daniel Kary, of Calgary, is the main contact/CFO.
There's a lot of confusion about what Question 10 on the October 19 ballot actually means, so let's be clear.
Question 10 gives voters two options: remain a province of Canada, or start the legal process toward a binding referendum. A binding referendum means a future province-wide vote whose result the government is legally required to act on, not just listen to and ignore. Choosing the second option doesn't take Alberta out of Canada.
Under Canada's constitution, if enough Albertans choose the second option, Ottawa would be required to come to the table for a real conversation about Alberta's place in Canada, how our resources are managed, and whether we're getting a fair return.
Are you voting on October 19?

Sunday Sept 20th 10 AM Morinville #abpoli
Protest announcement for Meta AI Data Centre construction in Sturgeon County. The poster reads “OUR LAND. OUR WATER. OUR COMMUNITIES. OUR VOICE.” and “PROTEST: Meta AI Data Centre Construction.” The protest takes place Sunday, September 20, 2026, at 10:00 AM at Sturgeon County Centre, 9613–100 Street, Morinville. The poster invites neighbours, friends and community members to make their voices heard, emphasizing informed decisions, accountability and protecting the place we all call home. A “What to Bring” section lists snacks, water, weather-appropriate clothing including an umbrella if needed, posters and signs, and an open mind and willingness to learn. It encourages people to bring everyone they can, including family, friends and neighbours. The poster also features the messages “PEOPLE BEFORE PROFITS” and “STRONGER COMMUNITIES, BRIGHTER FUTURES,” with the words “INFORM • ASK • CHALLENGE • PROTECT.” The background shows a rural Alberta landscape with a wooden fence and a weathered cardboard protest sign attached to a wooden post.
