09/29 heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/september-... So Schmitt got his right-wing media hit from a completely fabricated storyline. One newscaster noted: “When a witness lies under oath before Congress, he can face prison. When a senator gets it wrong, he says he was just ‘asking questions’.”

Vote No. Vote Remain.
This referendum is not about solving Alberta’s problems – it’s about giving Danielle Smith permission to keep taking Alberta down a risky and divisive path.

Morton wants Albertans to believe that the last 40 years were some sort of horrible experience, and that the LPC is to blame for it. This ignores the fact that Conservatives governed for almost 20 of them, and that the Chretien Liberals brought forward changes that kicked off the oil sands boom.

The UCP designed this referendum to divide Alberta. Let's choose something better. Vote NO to the 9. And vote to Remain in Canada. Let's build a vision together.
"As I've been meeting with many community leaders across the province, it's clear that this whole referendum is about one side of the equation. It's not about building Alberta, it’s not about the economy, it's definitely not about the future of our eastern slopes and Rocky Mountains, and it's definitely not about bringing Albertans together. It's about distraction and division. It's about taking the easiest, laziest and most boring narrative in politics (“Everything is someone else's fault!”) and turning it into an agenda to do nothing productive. Frankly, it's pathetic.  Because that’s the thing, we're are all legitimately worried about healthcare, affordability, jobs, and the future of our communities. Let's send a clear message on October 19th. Enough is enough. Vote NO. Vote Remain. Let's build a different vision." Bradley Lafortune Executive Director, Public Interest Alberta
