Danielle Smith is using your tax dollars to sell her political agenda. This referendum booklet is propaganda. It blames newcomers for her government’s failures and pushes constitutional changes without telling Albertans the truth. You deserve better than this political garbage paid for by you.

Unfucking believable. Those of you who think saying yes to a binding referendum on separation to “send a message” to Ottawa, your message will be to Trump. Use your brain, if you have one. #NeverUCP. Vote to stay and work on our future.

Oh wow In May, I reported Alberta separatists were using an app developed by GOP operatives with ties to US ambassador Pete Hoekstra @theglobeandmail.com now reports the same operatives flew to Calgary on a private jet for a secret meeting with separatist leaders: pressprogress.ca/alberta-sepa...

The pitch began with a prayer.
On an afternoon in late January, Mitch Sylvestre, the leader of Alberta's most prominent separatist organization, gathered with three of his lieutenants in a boardroom not far from the executive hangars at the Calgary International Airport, where private jets shuttle in and out of the city away from prying eyes.
It was a few hours before thousands of Albertans would gather near the city centre at a rally to launch the separatist campaign. But this meeting, convened behind closed doors a half-hour drive away, was invite only.
The Alberta Prosperity Project chose the location to accommodate its guests, Republican political strategists from Michigan who helped Donald Trump win the state in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
The American delegation travelled to Calgary to sell them on software developed for Republicans to get out the vote - and how it could be used to wrench Alberta from Confederation.
"They were young Christians. Capable, intelligent people," Mr. Sylvestre said. "We prayed before we started the meeting."

"There is no secrecy'
One of the key figures behind the Michigan software company has expressed strong views on Alberta.
On July 1, Mr. Born wrote on social media: "On this Canada Day, I hope this is the last year Alberta is part of Canada." He has also called for U.S. annexation of the province.
A hunter, outdoorsman and commercial real estate agent in Grand Rapids, Mr. Born is the stepson of J.C. Huizenga, a wealthy Republican donor and founder of National Heritage Academies, a network of conservative charter schools in the U.S.
Mr. Wierda is the nephew of Erik Prince, who founded and ran the private military contractor Blackwater before it was sold to investors in 2010, and Betsy DeVos, the education secretary during Mr. Trump's first term.

I shared a graphic that had two errors:It listed formal Cabinet size at 38 instead of the official 25 ministers.It calculated direct ministerial stipends at $2.35M instead of ~$1.55M, mistakenly applying full minister top-ups to Parliamentary Secretaries.Getting the facts right matters, and I’m 1/6

It’s not right that so many Albertans have found this referendum process stressful and confusing. We shouldn’t have to worry about every step of casting a ballot. And we shouldn’t have been put in the position of having a referendum on this question in the first place. #ABPoli #cdnpoli

Flip flopping Dani. #abpoli

Graphic featuring seven pairs of brightly coloured flip-flops arranged in a row beneath bold text reading, “Danielle Smith's flip-flop collection: 7 pairs, one for every day of the week she'll reverse her position to cling to power.” The flip-flops are blue, yellow, green, pink, orange, teal and purple, with each pair positioned side by side. The graphic uses a clean white background and satirically compares changing political positions to repeatedly changing flip-flops.

I think it’s sad the Alberta government can clawback 200.00 month federal benefit from disabled Albertans and she gets to stand there accepting more money. It’s the height of cruelty towards disabled Albertans.

Betting Alberta's future on hyperscale AI data centres and a $44B pipeline expansion just in time for an oil crash. When both bubbles burst, we'll be left in a Twilight Zone of abandoned wells and silent server farms. 🛢️🤖 #abpoli #cdnpoli"

“Conditions are now pointing toward another oil collapse,” he concludes. “It is just a question of when.”

When? Perhaps about the time the TMXX gets finished. Maybe even before it’s halfway to Roberts Bank – the West Coast geographical feature, that is, not a financial institution.

What will the T2P Hillbillies do then? Other than blame the Liberals in Ottawa, plus the Alberta NDP, of course, who – if their usual luck holds – will have just formed the government of Alberta when the price of oil falls through the floor
