Danielle Smith appearing at an event with Tamara Lich. Because when you’re trying to project “responsible provincial leadership,” obviously the next step is contributing to convoy nostalgia and supporting criminals. Every day Smith shows us who she really is❕ Vote NO to the 9️⃣Smith must RESIGN

We’ve always known, but now it’s confirmed, that Danielle Smith’s separatist friends, including a sitting UCP president, have been conspiring to hand over Alberta’s land, oil and water to Donald Trump. Albertans deserve better than this weak leadership that hurts us all. tgam.ca/3Txh5Gt

Danielle Smith is a weak leader for the province and within her own separatist party. A proud Canadian would never allow a separatist to remain in their party.

We need to talk about the separatists selling out our city and province. MAGA operatives came to Calgary to help carve up our country. Meanwhile, separatist leaders went to Washington promising our water, our oil, and our land. If you want to live in the United States, move to the United States.

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. #abpoli #NoToTheNine

Political graphic featuring a glass laboratory flask containing bright blue liquid and a radiation warning symbol, suggesting toxicity. Text reads: “I VOTED FOR OPTION 1 TO REMAIN IN CANADA. NO TO THE NINE OTHER QUESTIONS.” The graphic concludes: “SHE IS TOXIC AND SO ARE HER QUESTIONS.” The design uses white and red lettering over a dark, dramatic laboratory-style background. An “adobe free image” credit appears in the lower-right corner.

The other 9 questions, the noxious nine as some have said, are far worse than question 10. Will the rest of Canada want to even look at much less speak to Albertans who desire a society that is both anti-immigrant & unconstitutional? Alberta will be the embarrassing, racist, obscene uncle at dinner.

Graphic titled “IMMIGRANTS ARE PART OF THE SOLUTION – THE FACTS.” Four facts explain the contributions of immigrants and newcomers in Canada and Alberta. The first says newcomers make up 23% of Canada’s construction workforce, including 20% of roofers and 16% of electricians. The second says 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 says 90% of immigrants file income taxes in their first year and contribute to provincial revenues from Day 1. The fourth says recent immigrants contribute more than $5 billion annually in Alberta taxes and concludes that they already pay for services. A row of brightly coloured pencils fills the bottom of the graphic, representing people contributing their skills and work to the country.

I love this quote. I’m going to be using it. “How small are you willing to make your world until everyone agrees with you?” Honestly, this one stopped me in my tracks. #ABPoli #ABLeg #cdnpoli Alberta separatism has a story problem open.substack.com/pub/womenofa...

A miniature figure reclines casually in a blue deck chair on top of a giant tennis ball against a bright turquoise background. The image is paired with a quotation by Deirdre Mitchell-MacLean: “How small are you willing to make your world until everyone agrees with you?” The visual humorously suggests someone retreating into a small, self-contained world where everyone agrees with them.
