Leola @somehowever.bsky.social · 19/02/2026Less than a year in and Carney looks like the most consequential PM Canada has ever had. Look at him out there, reshaping the world economically & politically. Who wouldn't want to cross the floor to join the Carney govt in this era? Especially considering how inconsequential the alternative is. 020

Leola @somehowever.bsky.social · 07/11/2025There is a sitcom premise in the idea that the Poilievres have to move to Battle River-Crowfoot post-politics and truly try to make a go of it. Funniest if they move to Torrington and the Gopher Museum is featured. 130

Leola @somehowever.bsky.social · 03/11/2025Just got my Alberta Funds Public Schools petition canvasser badge! Will take a day or 2 to get sorted (and recover from my flu/covid shots) and then I'll be putting a regular event up for the Sherwood Park area starting next week. In the meantime, here are some places to sign. 020
Leola @somehowever.bsky.social · 01/11/2025 We *never* were asked to put any signers' personal info through the website, email, or online in any way . That was collected to be physically given to Elections Alberta at the end of the campaign only. 000
Leola @somehowever.bsky.social · 01/11/2025He briefly mentions the campaign being IT/AI based , probably referring to the website, which quickly evolved into such a useful tool for us volunteers to register events over the course of the campaign. I imagine AI was also used to streamline repetitive communications with volunteers. 110
Leola @somehowever.bsky.social · 01/11/2025Here is a recent interview with Rob Breakenridge that might provide some clarity on the process. Lukaszuk mentions that the signature sheets, once verified, are destroyed by Elections Alberta "like ballots". youtu.be/k5bhQvUzPwk?...youtu.beINTERVIEW: Thomas Lukaszuk on Forever Canadian success and how premier can end the separation debateYouTube video by Rob Breakenridge Show 110
Leola @somehowever.bsky.social · 01/11/2025That article just doesn't match my experience as an active canvasser. Elections Alberta has custody of all the signature sheets which will be destroyed after verification per the very strict legal rules around Citizen's Initiative campaigns. www.elections.ab.ca/recall-initi...elections.ab.caCitizen Initiative Process - Elections AlbertaElectors can use the citizen initiative process to have a legislative or policy proposal introduced in the legislative assembly or to have a constitutional referendum conducted.

Leola @somehowever.bsky.social · 01/11/2025I just know we volunteer canvassers were never `deployed by AI' and that all info from those who signed was handwritten on sheets of paper that was collected in the final days and handed into the Elections Alberta in dozens of banker boxes. When & how exactly would "AI" have gotten that info? 010
Leola @somehowever.bsky.social · 01/11/2025I think he wrote a sloppy opinion piece, given his wrong wording for our very simple petition question, and probably misunderstood. I believe AI might have been used in communications with canvassers? Like, when many of us emailed with questions about whether we needed to ask for a postal code? 220
Leola @somehowever.bsky.social · 31/10/2025 I fully expect clarification from the campaign detailing how and where Braid got it wrong. 000
Leola @somehowever.bsky.social · 31/10/2025I was an active Forever Canadian volunteer and there was zero AI dispatching us anywhere. We figured it out ourselves - we organized ourselves by community, chose locations, created/edited our own signing events on the website, and advertised ourselves. Braid even misquotes the petition question. 210
Leola @somehowever.bsky.social · 28/10/2025And I'd probably never have signed a petition in a park before this myself. Thanks are due to the hundreds of thousands of Albertans who understood the importance of this and stepped up to sign. 010
Leola @somehowever.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Thank you. You know what's funny? I'm an introvert. I directly collected just under 400 signatures and initiated/helped organize events that resulted in a couple thousand signatures being collected. I am now very tired and need some time to recharge. But now I know what I am capable of. 110

Leola @somehowever.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Regardless of what else is going on, I do look forward to celebrating the conclusion of the #ForeverCanadian petition tomorrow.

Leola @somehowever.bsky.social · 28/10/2025If the UCP had bargained in good faith in the dispute with Alberta teachers, they could have defused the momentum of these petitions and recalls. Now, the UCP have likely turbocharged the resistance against them and their failure of a government. #ableg 052
