I think vote splitting is a myth. People cast one affirmative vote. In a parallel universe with different parties on the ballot, many choices will change, but it can’t be assumed they would all move to a single alternative.

Danielle Smith says she won’t support counter-tariffs because they hurt businesses & workers. Odd. Because just last year, she imposed a markup on wine that hurt businesses, cost jobs & hit Canadian wineries hardest. So maybe there’s another reason she refuses to stand with Team Canada? #ableg

For those at the back: The US doesn’t “defend” other countries. It defends ITSELF using other countries as buffers. But now the US wants to take control of our trade and cultural policies. GFY, Duffy.

Behold, a steaming pile of self-serving dung from a recent Globe and Mail op-ed by two business leaders. Reality: the province is suffocating clean energy, no business has “stepped up” to build or fill the pipeline, and oil companies are minting massive profits for themselves, not the federation.

#cutthebullshit It’s clear Jeromy Farkas is undermining UCP claims that they’re anything but a corrupt, authoritarian regime, hellbent on protecting the very wealthy and ignoring the interests of most Albertans. I didn’t vote for Farkas, twice. But I appreciate the leadership he’s showing now.

Just another reminder #abpoli #ableg peeps. You can early renew your Alberta drivers license any time. It's a minor stand (I just did mine today), but it's a little FU to the UCP and this moronic one ID card privacy mess they're about to create. Do it by the end of June please. 🇨🇦

It appears they’ve already blocked this. Renewal requires producing documentation proving you’re a lawful resident. It appears they’ve already blocked only way around this is to renew before the end of June.

Smith is telling a whopper of a lie to hide from one fact: The referendum is her choice, and hers alone.

Jim Thompson Goodchild 🇨🇦 @shiftfocus99.bsky.social · 22/05/2026
Note the two things Smith has not done, and won’t do: 1) Allow her caucus to vote publicly on secession 2) Tell the secessionists to take a hike. She says she’s a federalist, but the secessionists are pulling her strings.

While we wait to hear from Danielle Smith re: forcing us into a vote on separatism, it’s worth remembering she’s set on forcing us into a divisive & disingenuous vote on immigration this fall. Check out this excellent piece from lawyer Avnish Nanda: edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu... #abpoli

They are asking you to believe that senior party officials, who’ve all been involved in election campaigns for decades, suddenly forgot that voters lists are only available to registered political parties. That it never crossed their minds that there might be a problem. 1/3

Anybody who has ever been involved in a campaign understands the security around the voters lists. Especially those high up in political parties. Every one of these people claiming they thought the list was obtained legally is lying. Every one of them.

With the distinct possibility that the courts will prevent validation of the Stay Free Alberta petition, we are left with a single source for the separatists' claim that they collected enough signatures to spark a referendum. And that source is far from trustworthy.👇 But also...🧵

A reminder: Smith's government has seen the highest real, per capita resource revenue outside of the governments of Lougheed and Klein. To blame immigration because vou can't manage a resource boom is awful. She literally "called" for people to come her and for high immigration.
