Sorry you’re having so much trouble. It’s frustrating and infuriating. If you’re able to get in to your local library or FCSS office before Friday (if you’re well enough by then) they should be able to help. Otherwise you could vote at an advance polling station. I’ve done that previously.

Alberta doesn’t just risk losing out on future immigrant entrepreneurs, tech start up founders, and skilled workers. We risk driving out a generation of talent. Please, vote NO to the Nine.

For the whole of my adult life conservative economic policy has dictated tax cuts for rich corporations coupled with austerity cuts to healthcare and education This has made the rich richer & the poor poorer Alberta is in this mess because of the conservatives #ableg #abpoli

“…who among us hasn’t wondered how a bunch of nobodies from Alberta ended up getting meetings with officials from the U.S. Administration in the first place? Nobodies who have the gall to offer up access to things only the Alberta govt can offer?” #ableg #abpoli open.substack.com/pub/womenofa...

They say the best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour. That’s bad news for Alberta; again.

I didn't mince my words. Alberta's anti-immigration referendum questions are racist. They are also a potential disaster for Alberta's economy. Last night, I rose in the Senate to denounce them - and to thank all the thousands of Albertans fighting against them. Please share. #notothenine #cdnpoli

Isn’t it a long standing CONservative talking point about CONs being all about smaller government? Yeahhhh not in Alberta anyway. When 77% of your caucus is a cabinet member earning an extra $100k on top of their salary as an MLA. I guess that’s one way to prevent floor crossings. #abpoli #cdnpoli

Even with pre planning as a citizen of Canada with a Canadian passport, born outside of the country and with a P.O. Box address (rural home) it was onerous to gather all the necessary id to send with mail in ballot. If the utility bills weren’t in my 1/2

After being sworn in as MLA for Calgary-Shaw, I signed the pledge to defend Canada. As a proud fourth-generation Canadian, I firmly oppose separatism. My ancestors fought for freedom and Canada in WWII; we carry that legacy on. Albertans deserve to know where their MLA stands.

Alberta separatists have gone to D.C. offering fresh water and oil in exchange for American support – and Republican operatives have provided tactical assistance inside the province

The next question is, why didn't Netanyahu warn Israel of the impending Hamas attack on 7 October, 2023. What really happened and why? Inquiries are needed.
Content: The posts accuse Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of past policies intended to weaken the Palestinian Authority, comment on his ongoing legal and corruption proceedings, and assert shared culpability or strategic alignment regarding the October 7 attacks.

I keep meeting smart informed Albertans who tell me they do not intend to vote, because they don’t want to legitimize the process, or because they know the premier is not bound by the results. But what if making us give up on voting is the whole point? My argument to vote - no matter the absurdity.
