$4 million spent on this brochure… added to the $200 million referendum price tag. This money could have been spent on public education, healthcare and cost of living. Let’s Save Canada and vote!

Jen Gerson with more truth bombs: “Voting to leave is not sending a message to Ottawa. It’s sending a message to Washington.” “The message is this: Canada is weak, regionally divided, and can be turned on itself for America’s benefit. Ultimately, that message hurts all of us, including Albertans.”

Jen Gerson: Oh, so you want to send Ottawa a message, eh?
Vote to stay and send Washington the right message. Namely, don’t fuck with us.

Not sure if the point of Angela Paxton’s video was to cause people to search Angela Paxton’s name only to find out that she helped facilitate Ken Paxton’s corruption for many years before ultimately filing to divorce him on “biblical grounds”, but that’s what happened.

If you know Albertans who are struggling with just voting NO to the nine, ask them if they want Smith to be able to pick her own judges Or if they want to blame immigrants for Smith's wanton destruction of our healthcare Yes to staying in Canada #NoToTheNine #abkeg #abpoli

Danielle Smith is using your tax dollars to sell her political agenda. This referendum booklet is propaganda. It blames newcomers for her government’s failures and pushes constitutional changes without telling Albertans the truth. You deserve better than this political garbage paid for by you.

It’s not right that so many Albertans have found this referendum process stressful and confusing. We shouldn’t have to worry about every step of casting a ballot. And we shouldn’t have been put in the position of having a referendum on this question in the first place. #ABPoli #cdnpoli

The UCP is NOT a separatist party! We just happen to platform separatist organizers, like Jeffery Rath, during our AGMs and separatists run our Constituency Associations. But that doesn’t mean we’re a separatist party. Read: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
A line graph showing which groups are most likely to vote Option 2 on Question 2 of the Alberta referendum. The highest percentage at 53% is UCP. All others are between 27 to 31%

Throwing billions in public money behind a pipeline at a time of climate breakdown – while sweeping aside environmental protections, meaningful Indigenous consultation and workers’ right to strike – is absolutely not in the national interest.

They are acting like the Cornell 7 happened in a vacuum when we just went through the Hockey Canada 5 and the players have all been rehired, and play for both American and Canadian teams. There are no consequences for these kinds of men and the faux outrage is exhausting.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Joe Rogan complained that Zohran Mamdani is untrustworthy because "he speaks with a bunch of different accents." It's called code-switching. It's what smart people do when they've grown up in multilingual environments. But of course, you wouldn't know about that. #GillianAnderson #JohnBarrowman

"Everything about this referendum on separation and the other nine questions on the ballot – among other things they attempt to scapegoat immigrants for many of the province’s problems – is contemptible. It’s a phony, illegitimate exercise Ms. Smith has lent credibility to in order to save her job."
