The Alberta referendum: a pointless, futile stunt, just like the last one

The will of the people of one province is not an obligation on everyone else

I learned a lot from this post. Thanks again for the share. I too was guilty of sizeism when young. I still have to fight to be aware of all the isms I might be guilty of through complete lack of thought/awareness.

This is an important thread! There’s so much sizeism in society! Why is this acceptable? We need to speak up when we hear or see it.

Yesterday I responded angrily to an anti maga meme post vilifying fat people in it’s image. The comments beneath were brutal. Sadly, I was so disgusted I just blocked the guy, so comment lost. Mocking peoples bodies is unacceptable. I think we have to call it out when we see it, just like any ism.

Great video! Alberta has AMAZING frontline workers. If only our health ministers listened to them instead of flying off to Sweden on vacation. We have solutions; they just need the will to listen. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

It could get even uglier here after the referendum on if we have another referendum on separation (and a lot of racist/dumb questions) and I really hope I’m wrong. I hope you’re all hanging in there!

Hi Fran ! It’s pretty stressful in Alberta. About 75% do not want to- but we have a govt who does, who did not run as a separatist govt, and there’s lots of corruption. They’re racist and very maga like. I frankly do not trust that they will stop this ball rolling no matter the referendum results.

This is such a "fuck you" to the city of Edmonton. Like why do we even bother having municipal elections in this province? Edmontonians voted for this city Council and the UCP are just gonna force through whatever they want, democratic mandate be damned.

This referendum is more than separation. It also vilifies “obvious” immigrants. If the majority vote for these racist policies, I cannot reconcile with them. Sadly, the separatists and the racists are often the same group.

My neighbour got an email that she didn’t send hers in. She’d sent in both her and her husbands and knows she had both ID’s included in each packet. Her husbands was fine. She’s quite alarmed now.

Now there are little signs saying "Quebec got to vote, why can't we?" They need reminding that Quebec had a separatist party, & people joined up. The PQ campaigned on Quebec separation, & won. Unlike the UCP, who lied to Albertans the whole campaign, but are now an openly separatist party. 🤷‍♂️

No. They alone should be responsible. Offloading to parents is removing their ownership. They’re adults. Moral compasses also come from community and society and the ever prevalent internet. Until all of us stop supporting the businesses (nhl)where only the bottom line matters, nothing will change.

If most of us weren’t determined that they can only vote for something with the word conservative in it - no matter what- we would have more power. But no. For all but one brief blip we have only elected one party. That’s stupidity where we reap what we sow. The UCP.

Small plein air oil painting- cut fields on a hill descending towards me on left and right with a crooked, rough dirt farmers road towards the right headed to the top. Trees on the right and long shadows actress the road.

If they HAD been an honest separatist party, they wouldn’t have gotten in. None of this nightmare crap they’ve bait and switched Albertans with would have happened. It seems this whole separatist referendum BS could be legally challenged?
