Sources tell me Danielle Smith will force Edmonton to repeal its zoning bylaw. Smith's UCP loyalist friends in Edmonton Neighbourhoods United, whose agenda lost in the last election, asked for her help, just like she helped the separatists. Local democracy is dead.

🎀 if you live in alberta and are 45 or older and you haven’t already - call tomorrow to make a self referral to have a mammogram. If you are 40-44 ask your family doctor to refer you to have it done (starting next April you can self refer) - it just might save your life like it did mine

Let’s be clear: Question 10 is separation. The other nine are a slow walk toward it. These racist questions divide Albertans and scapegoats immigrants. It’s shameful. That’s not the Alberta we should be building. No to the nine. Yes to Canada. 🇨🇦 www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
