There’s a pattern here. Profit over public health, and “people like us” (we all know who that is) over anyone else. It’s disgusting and works against everyone. And those 9 referendum questions are here now to reinforce the pattern.

"The Cargill outbreak is a story of “systemic regulatory failure” by the Alberta government and Alberta Health Services (AHS), the single provincial health authority at the time. They said Alberta was unprepared, overconfident and deliberately side-stepped available enforcement measures."

What if Alberta used all the heat from data centres to turn on a giant sky-bulb at 8:30 during the winter?

Watching Big Danielle is making ol' Vic dizzy! She runs to one window and shouts "I'm not a Separatist, Strong Canada!!" and then she runs across the office to another window and shouts "I am a Separatist! Let Alberta decide" and then she says "pipelines" and bursts into tears! #AbPoli

How to vote by mail in Alberta: 1. Open the envelope, sort through the TEN questions. 2. Fill out the declaration that you are eligible to vote by mail. 3. Worry that you may go to jail. 4. Stand on your head. 5. Fill out the ballots anyway. 6. Do the hokey-pokey. 7. Say a prayer for democracy.

Normalizing hate is ugly, but it’s also intentional. That’s what those nine questions do. That’s what this government does. Send a strong message, and call out racism when you see or hear it.

Every now and than I look at how power is generated in Alberta. Right now almost 40% of it is coming from renewables. It could be so much more and I wonder how much the mix will change with the addition of gas-powered data centres.

(The Smith government referred all of CBC News’ detailed questions to the website and its FAQ. Joseph Schow, Alberta's minister of immigration, did not have time for an interview over a three-week period, his press secretary said.) Give or take the flip of a pancake they're not exactly accessible.

There are plenty of reasons to vote NO to the 9 referendum questions and YES to staying in Canada, but the more I think about it, this is a referendum on Danielle Smith’s leadership. MAKE SURE YOU VOTE. Send her a message. #AlbertaReferendum2026

Smith wants to use our friends, families, neighbours, and colleagues as props to "send Ottawa a message." By voting "no," Albertans can send her a message: enough with the scapegoating. Enough with the populist bullshit. If we don’t, you can bet we'll see a dozen more referendums targeting others.

I am lucky to live in a central urban area, near an old rail right of way that’s been converted to bike paths. That’s terrific infrastructure, too. As a local voter, I support city councillors and mayors who support bike routes. I find the “culture war” around them absurd.

A judge extended a special court order on Wednesday freezing Jeffrey Rath's assets. One legal expert says it's a rare move in this type of case. He adds Rath's fee in the original case was "fundamentally unreasonable" leading to Rath being ordered to return the money.
