Danielle Smith's referendum is bad for business. The Calgary Chamber's own survey shows members expect more harm than good from her immigration questions. Alberta needs workers, not more barriers. Stay in Canada. No to the Nine. Message Alberta's Voice

In 2005, 25% of Albertans supported independence. The same as today. Ralph Klein faced the same conditions and level of support for Alberta independence as Danielle Smith. He didn’t call a referendum. She did. Remember that. #cdnpoli #abpoli

Should Danielle Smith be able to order your local council to vote to approve rezoning for a massive AI data centre? And threaten to fire your democratically elected mayor if they vote against it? This latest provincial overreach isn't about density. It's about your legal right to a fair hearing.

He continued: “How do you survive AI? Amazon is a very AI friendly company to the tune of 50 billion dollars invested to OpenAI. I am not an AI friendly actor. I didn’t sign the waiver to let them use AI on Spider-Noir. It’s kind of like I’m probably not going to be working with that studio again. But that’s OK. So I got to get with these young directors who are Gen Z and they’re going at it their own way, whether it’s through the YouTube culture or whatever it is. They’re doing it from scratch and by hand. I want to get with that.”

Remember these oldies from flip history. A couple of throwbacks from 2025. Some things never change. #ABPoli
Infographic titled “Guaranteed to Flip: The Danielle Smith Promise.” The design features a yellow-orange background with a raised interlocking brick border that transitions from green on the left to orange on the right. In the upper-right area, a LEGO-style female politician figure with brown hair, a worried expression, a blue shirt and a red apron labelled “QUEEN OF THE FLIP” flips golden pancakes onto a black griddle, with additional pancakes flying through the air. The image satirizes Danielle Smith’s broken political promises about healthcare coverage.

The infographic documents three examples. First, April 2023, the UCP Health Care Guarantee: Smith pledged that no Albertan would pay out of pocket to see a doctor or receive needed medical treatment, and promised not to delist medical services or prescriptions covered by Alberta Health Insurance. Second, February 1, 2025, seniors’ eye exams delisted: the infographic states that the UCP government removed public coverage for follow-up vision exams for seniors and children, requiring Albertans to pay for additional visits related to conditions such as glaucoma and cataracts. Third, June 2025, public COVID-19 vaccine coverage withdrawn: the infographic states that Alberta ended universal coverage for COVID-19 vaccines, with only high-risk groups receiving them at no cost while most Albertans, including seniors, must pay. A quoted statement attributed to Danielle Smith reads, “We believe in vaccine choice, but we don’t pay for everything.” The overall message is a political critique of changes to healthcare coverage under Smith’s leadership.Political satire infographic titled “NO ONE’S TOUCHING YOUR PENSION… (just flipping it).” The design uses a yellow-orange background framed by a raised interlocking brick border transitioning from green on the left to orange on the right. A LEGO-style female politician figure with brown hair, a worried expression, a blue shirt and a red apron labelled “QUEEN OF THE FLIP” flips golden pancakes onto a black griddle, with several pancakes flying through the air. The pancake-flipping imagery symbolizes changing promises and is used to criticize Danielle Smith’s statements about Alberta’s pension plan.

The infographic presents two dated examples. First, May 2023, Election Campaign: Smith reassured Albertans, “Look, no one is touching anybody’s pension. Pensions belongs to pensioners,” with the quotation reproduced as shown in the graphic. Second, September 21, 2023, APP Campaign Launch: Smith characterized the Alberta Pension Plan launch as a once-in-a-generation opportunity, emphasizing intergenerational benefits and repeating the line, “It’s your pension, your choice.” Both statements are attributed to Danielle Smith. The overall message questions the consistency of Smith’s assurances about pensions and the proposed Alberta Pension Plan.
