markhamhislop.substack.com/p/danielle-s... Albertans have been told for decades, maybe even generations, that Ottawa is the enemy when the real enemy was provincial govt after provincial govt. surrendering control to American O&G corps. Elevated to the status of a deity, O&G must be worshipped.

Danielle Smith Says Ottawa Tried to Kill Alberta Oil. The Data Says the Opposite.
Alberta’s real problem isn’t an industry under attack. It’s a political story increasingly contradicted by reality.

Eva Marie Saint, star of North by Northwest and On the Waterfront, dies aged 102
Landmark roles were in 50s classics directed by Elia Kazan and Alfred Hitchcock, before going on to play Superman’s adoptive mother in later life Eva Marie Saint, one of the last survivors of Hollywood’s golden age of the 1940s and 50s, has died aged 102. Her screen work spanned six decades: Saint made her screen debut opposite Marlon Brando in On the Waterfront, starred in Alfred Hitchcock’s celebrated thriller North by Northwest, and in one of her last screen appearances played Superman’s adoptive mother Martha Kent in the 2006 superhero film Superman Returns. A family spokesman said on Tuesday that Saint had died of natural causes at her home in Los Angeles. Continue reading...

CBC: "There’s another structural advantage of being in power. "The UCP could use its majority in the legislature to redraw riding boundaries to create new so-called 'rurban' ridings that include both rural and urban areas." That's gerrymandering and the tell-tale of a corrupt regiime.

The biggest challenge to overcome is complacency & unawareness. Looks like the more people are aware the more they plan to vote No. Spread the word. Get the message out. #NoToTheNine #ABpoli
People not feeling 'connected' to the 9, yet

While 49 per cent of respondents say they don't know how they will vote on the non-separation questions, 75 per cent say they will definitely cast a ballot for all nine questions, with 11 per cent suggesting they may possibly skip some questions.
Forty-four per cent of those polled said they feel either not at all familiar or not very familiar with the nine questions.
"When we look at some of these responses together, what we're seeing is that people have the intention of figuring out these questions and answering them when they go to vote, but they haven't yet done that," Young explained.

Familiarity

Besides the question on separation, the October 19 referendum will include nine other questions on various topics.
How familiar are you with the nine other questions that will be included on the ballot? Are you...
[Chart Text]
Very Familiar 22%
Somewhat Familiar 32%
Not Very Familiar 17%
Not At All Familiar 27%

Interesting data from @davidcoletto.bsky.social at Abacus. Alberta is a province that “has been asked a question it did not want by a government it does not trust to answer it, about a country it is not prepared to give up, in the shadow of a neighbour it does not trust at all.”
David Coletto O @DavidColetto
The results of our deep dive into Alberta public opinion is fascinating. I really think people will find it incredibly valuable and insightful.
Here's my summary of what I think we found.
Alberta is a province right now that...
1, Judges Canada to be on a better track than Alberta
2 Feels more favourable to the federal Liberal leader to its conservative Premier
3
and...
Feels far angrier than hopeful about independence
4
Has been asked a question it did not want by a government it does not trust to answer it, about a country it is not prepared to give up, in the shadow of a neighbour it does not trust at all.Bar chart: Most Albertans say the province is on the wrong track; views of Canada are more evenly split
