Danielle Smith and the UCP have the wrong priorities. We should be focused on education, health care and the cost of living. On October 19, vote YES to Canada and NO to the rest.

Keller then repeats the old "we should produce more oil and gas because we have so much of it." That might have been a competitive advantage in the 1970s. In the 2020s, as much of the world electrifies and decarbonizes, it becomes significantly less relevant.

Dear Alberta UCP, It is becoming increasingly clear that the MAGA movement will be remembered as an incredibly dark, dysfunctional, destructive, corrupt and unjust period in history. Why are you tethering your legacy – and our province – to this rotten and sinking ship?

Anyone who has followed the corruption and destruction by the UCP and Smith has made the decision to vote no to the nine. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #NoToTheNine
Political referendum meme with a mustard-yellow background. On the left, an older bearded man wearing a red knit hat and striped shirt peers through a vintage spyglass while holding a pipe. On the right, a softly transparent beige rounded rectangle contains the text: “IF YOU’VE FOLLOWED THE UCP FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS… IT’S PRETTY OBVIOUS: VOTE NO TO THE NINE. VOTE OPTION 1. REMAIN IN CANADA.” The words “NO,” “NINE,” and “OPTION 1” appear in dark red. A small “adobe free image” credit appears along the bottom.

Patrick Lennox nails it. 🎯 This article is a KEEPER. THE BIG LIE 👇 #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #TheBigLie #DanielleSmith #UCPCorruption #NoToTheNine #CorruptCare
A political graphic illustrating key themes from Patrick Lennox's article, "Alberta Separatism Is Built on a Big Lie," published in The Walrus. The image uses a dark red background with a prominent metaphor on the left: an amber glass apothecary poison bottle sealed with a black glass stopper. The bottle features a diamond-shaped orange hazard label displaying a skull and crossbones icon.

To the right of the bottle, a rounded white text card with a red border displays bold, high-contrast headline text and four bulleted points. At the top of the graphic, large uppercase text reads "THE BIG LIE" in dark red and white type. Below this heading, the card's main header states in bold black and red lettering: "PREMIER DANIELLE SMITH IS POISONING CANADIAN DEMOCRACY BY:"

The four red-bulleted points detail the specific mechanism of this "poisoning," drawing directly from Lennox's critique of the UCP's sovereignty movement:

    Weaponizing radical political disinformation through far-right tactics to reshape Confederation

    Mixing genuine Western grievance with an unconstitutional agenda to push a secession referendum

    Distracting the electorate from $600M in provincial health care procurement corruption

    Undermining national unity to invite foreign psychological warfare and interference

In the bottom left corner, small muted text credits the stock image base ("adobe free image"). The visual composition directly links Premier Smith's political tactics to a toxic substance, arguing that the provincial government leverages legitimate regional alienation to obscure illegal sovereignty efforts, hide procurement corruption scandals, and enable foreign interference that threatens Canadian constitutional democracy.

"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
Graphic titled “IMMIGRANTS ARE PART OF THE SOLUTION” with the subtitle “THE FACTS.” Four factual statements appear above an illustration of a row of sharpened wooden pencils. The first states that immigrants make up 23% of Canada’s construction workforce, including 20% of roofers and 16% of electricians. The second states that immigrants make up 25% of registered nurses and 37% of physicians across Canada, while Alberta ranks last among the 10 provinces in per-student education funding. The third states that 90% of immigrants file income taxes in their first year and contribute to provincial revenues from day one. The fourth states that recent immigrants contribute more than $5 billion every year in Alberta taxes, noting that they already contribute to the services they use.
