The hypocrisy is mind boggling.

I wonder that, as well. It seems there is hard evidence and yet nothing is happening.

This is so f@&$ed up! And we know and watch and nothing happens.

He also claimed that gender affirming care for transgender youth is the same as castrating cattle. He is evil.

Happy to receive confirmation that my ballot has been cast. And on my birthday. 🙂

If I had a bird it would be in the bottom of the cage. Maybe I can use it to scoop the cat litter box. Probably just shred it. What a waste of money. 🤬

The results of the referendum will be meaningless. She will go ahead with whatever she is already planning. Kind of like when they did a media release during the Forever Canadian petition consultation meeting. Her plan is already written.

What is Spanky actually contributing to Alberta on his large taxpayer funded salary? I meet and observe many people who have immigrated to Canada/Alberta who are contributing actual skills to Alberta in healthcare, tech, hospitality, etc. He is a loud mouthed leech to society.

I’m streaming on Qobuz now. No AI allowed and I think artists do get between 1-2 cents per stream. Still not great but better than Spotify and Apple.

And public schools where UCP MLA’s children attend. Some of the schools are adequately funded. Coincidence. Hmm.

Definitely less people/groups on Bluesky . Too bad, though. I hate supporting Zuckerberg and Meta.

I received that email, as well. I was flabbergasted. I made sure that I let them know in my not-so-friendly reply that a big donation was already made from me to Kyle Campbell’s campaign. 😂

I think the UCP MLAs should stop giving themselves pay raises. Because they will be moving into the next highest tax brackets and be paying more taxes.

This is beyond ridiculous. What will be considered a victory for the separatists? 51%? Or will Smith say that 20% is significant enough to move forward for another referendum?

This is infuriating. Definitely barriers for married women to renew. Did he misunderstand his mandate to “reduce” red tape? Seems like his actions are the opposite to me.

Did anyone else get an email from the UCP asking for money to defeat “Nenshi’s smear campaign”? I have no idea how they got my email? (Well, some idea.) I have contributed to Kyle Campbell’s campaign and will be celebrating when he wins!
The by-election in Calgary-Shaw is on. Voters go to the polls on September 14.

Naheed Nenshi and the NDP are throwing everything they have at this seat.

You know what that looks like. Smears, distortions, and attacks that keep coming right up until the polls close.

We have to push back hard. We cannot let an anti-energy NDP that calls pipelines "nation burning" gain ground anywhere in this province.

Mike Derry is our UCP candidate in Calgary-Shaw, and he and his volunteers are out knocking on doors every single day. Danielle Smith has been out there too.

What they need now is a full ad blitz behind them.

Will you chip in $35, $75, or even $125 today to help win Calgary-Shaw?

Your donation puts our message in front of voters on their phones, in their mailboxes, and on their screens, so nobody in that riding has to guess where we stand.

Volunteers are out there fighting for this seat door by door. Please stand with them today.The by-election in Calgary-Shaw is on. Voters go to the polls on September 14.

That was my thought, as well. Online gambling will be very bad for many. 😞

Cool. I might do this, as well. I am able to manage waiting in a long line for many hours but if I mail in it might make the lines shorter for those who may be challenged.

I’m a software engineer. This is highly exaggerated. It’s a helpful tool we are expected to use. On a good week it might add 25 -50% productivity. There are people that use it better than me that might add 100%. Other people don’t use it effectively. There is overhead checking for correctness.

It’s the same people. When the referendum results show that most people want Alberta to remain in Canada I predict a similar trucker-freedom-convoy response. Lots of pickup truck honking and tailgate parties at the legislature to protest.

I think when you are good at something you will be accused of AI. My daughter, who is a very good writer, was accused of using AI to write a university class paper. It was a tough one to defend. You are a very good graphic designer so maybe it’s a compliment? Still frustrating, I’m sure.

There are good people in the USA, but 90 million of them didn’t even vote in the 2024 election . We need to send them a message to wake them up.

Trying not to be pessimistic, but remember Ottawa in 2022. I’d say be ready near the legislature for pickup trucks and a lot of honking. And bbqs and portable blowup hot tubs. These are the same people.

I will definitely vote. I feel like they could make it difficult for married women who have changed their surname and also Canadian citizens who were not born in Canada. I will be showing up with extra identification and marriage certificate. I’m not due for the new horrible driver’s license yet.

She is two faced. She claims to stand up for transgender people but votes with her caucus to take away rights and cause life threatening harm. 😟

This makes me so angry. I volunteer there regularly and it is getting busier every week. If we had higher minimum wage, rent control, lower insurance rates and lower fuel costs we would decease the food bank need. The $100 is insulting and will do diddly squat for improving food insecurity.

If I qualify, I will take the money and send it to various mutual aid recipients. And I will never vote UCP. This money should be distributed to people who need it, not used to buy votes. 😡

Does that mean that coal mining will go ahead? Or will the Australian project be paused until after the Water Not Coal petition is addressed?

That’s what we thought about Danielle Smith. Hopefully, B.C people can keep her from becoming premier. She is as bad or possibly worse than Smith. I was thinking of moving to BC if things get worse. Manitoba it is. 😟

She must be good friends with another hypocrite I know of … Tanya Fir. Both showing support on their platforms with words. Their actions when voting in the legislature against these groups contradict their words.

She is listening to a very rich minority of people who don’t care if healthcare and education become privatized. She is not listening to the majority of Albertans who would like these services to remain public and be properly funded.
