Watercolour painting by Jennifer Annesley of a prairie landscape in winter, framed by weeping birch branches backlit with low angled morning sun. The horizon line of trees is grazed with sunlight and a snow covered meadow is still in shadow. Colours are predominantly ultramarine blue, burnt sienna, cadmium yellow middle, with a full value range from black to white.

Yes. Family. So lucky to have ‘em. So fortunate they’re stand up people. Thankful for the good & to be hopeful despite the bad. And … “In this world of ordinary people Extraordinary people I'm glad there is you In this world of overrated pleasures And underrated treasures I'm glad there is you”

ProPublica designed a reporting experiment to demonstrate how easy it can be to open private schools that might then access public money. We succeeded in opening two schools. No credentials or background checks required.

Drove out to our family’s farm house north of Edmonton for our Thanksgiving feast. As I drove through Sturgeon and Westlock Counties, I kept my eyes peeled for separatist signs. Didn’t see a single one. But I did spot four Canadian flags, for which I gave thanks! Happy Thanksgiving to all. #Alberta

It does beg the question: If some UCP caucus members “actually” feel Danielle Smith is the best they’ve got, what & who within the not-United Conservative Party is jockeying to replace her (Dan Williams, Jadon Nixon, Jennifer Johnson)? And how scary is that?

Watercolour painting of Castle Mountain reflected in the rocky waters of the Bow River. The sky is clear and the mountain glows red orange in late afternoon light. Though ice and snow frame the far shore, the river is open and reflects and intensifies colours, and abstracts the shapes in moving water.

In 2005, 25% of Albertans supported independence. The same as today. Ralph Klein faced the same conditions and level of support for Alberta independence as Danielle Smith. He didn’t call a referendum. She did. Remember that. #cdnpoli #abpoli

If you missed regular mail Canada Post has a pay option. (I know who has $$ to spare) Otherwise there are 5 days of advance voting next week. #abpoli #ableg

Calendar infographic titled “Important Dates: October 2026,” showing key dates for Alberta’s referendum and special ballot return process. The calendar has a white background, grey grid lines, black text, and red highlights for important dates. October 1 to 8 are marked with large grey Xs to indicate those days have passed. A note in the October 1 calendar space reads: “October 9. Last recommended day to mail your completed special ballot package.” October 9 is highlighted with a yellow sticky note reading “Mail ballot package back,” with the number 9 in red. October 9 is also marked with a grey X. October 10 is unmarked. Thanksgiving Day is identified on Monday, October 12. A green banner spanning October 13 to 17 indicates the advance voting period, with arrows pointing in both directions. A red arrow points to October 16, alongside a notice stating: “October 16, 5:00 PM deadline. Elections Alberta must receive your completed special ballot package.” October 18 is labelled “Referendum Day” on a blue sticky note. The remaining dates extend through October 31, with some dates shown in lighter grey. The footer reads: “For up-to-date information elections.ab.ca.” The graphic emphasizes the recommended mailing date of October 9, the advance voting period, the October 16 special ballot receipt deadline, and referendum day on October 18.

Sounds like McClure got wind of shenanigans. Rogue scrutineers from 28 third-party groups could easily hijack a hand-counted vote and cause total chaos. But dropping this decision at 5:30 PM on a long weekend Friday is undeniably late in the game. #abpoli

Wow! Janet’s polling is solid. People will say the election’s a year away & UCP & Smith can rebound. Maybe. Or, both can continue their racist arrogance & drop even further. NDs & Tory Party will have more time to build support & we know Smith/UCP can’t change. Albertans may finally have had enough

Should Danielle Smith be able to order your local council to vote to approve rezoning for a massive AI data centre? And threaten to fire your democratically elected mayor if they vote against it? This latest provincial overreach isn't about density. It's about your legal right to a fair hearing.
