#StAlbert and across the province on Saturday Oct 17th. Bring a Canadian Flag, make a sign, meet some new people. #abpoli
Poster announcing a province-wide day of protest on Saturday, October 17. The top of the poster reads “SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17” followed by “PROVINCE-WIDE DAY OF PROTEST” in large yellow and white lettering on a black background. The poster asks, “OUTRAGED BY THE DIRECTION OF OUR PROVINCE UNDER DANIELLE SMITH AND THE UCP?” with a highlighted message, “YOU’RE NOT ALONE!”

A list of protest demands appears on the left: “NO SEPARATING FROM CANADA,” “NO BECOMING THE 51ST STATE,” “NO AI DATA CENTRES,” “NO TWO-TIER HEALTHCARE,” “NO CORPORATE GREED,” “NO MINING THE ROCKIES,” “NO SCAPEGOATING IMMIGRANTS,” “NO LOW WAGES,” “NO THREATENING PENSIONS,” and “NO TO THE STATUS QUO.”

On the right, large text reads “WE’RE SAYING NO!” with “SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17” underneath, accompanied by a raised-fist graphic and exclamation mark. A yellow banner states, “TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ALBERTANS ARE COMING TOGETHER TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST A ROGUE GOVERNMENT.”

The St. Albert protest details are displayed at the bottom: “ST. ALBERT 11:30 - 1PM,” “PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE,” and “MCKENNEY/BELLEROSE.” A QR code appears at lower right. Text below the location says, “FIND THE PROTEST NEAREST YOU: FightBackNow.ca.” The poster identifies Fight Back Now! as a campaign of the Alberta Federation of Labour, with the email afl@afl.org. The overall design uses black, white, and bright yellow, with bold typography and high-contrast text.

Elections Alberta last press release was Oct 1st. Why can't we have daily tallies on mail in ballots, received, pending etc. There has to be more communication. We need more confidence the process is working. I shouldn't have to rely on news media for info. Enough crickets 🦗 #abpoli

I can’t imagine that they are, and yeah, that’s not on them. And this is just a warm up for election day. Glad I could avoid in-person voting this time.And just wait for the hand-counting of ballots. I applied. Was told I’d be working 12-hour shifts (counting ballots) with overnights. I just can’t.

Somehow I can’t imagine CanPost is thrilled about the sudden deluge of extra mail going out and coming in. From a ‘managing perspective’ this referendum is a logistical nightmare for them. And who’d have thunk over 600000 folks would request mail-ins? Yikes. Send your ballots ASAP peeps!

It's interesting to me how UCP supporters blame the feds for everything in Alberta including, healthcare, education, our economy and any deficits incurred by the UCP The feds didn't steal the Heritage Fund or give O&G royalties away - successive conservative governments did that #ableg #abpoli

Let me be clear: we know from evidence in countries around the world that physician dual practice drains resources away from the public system and, in many cases, increases wait times for public patients. This goes directly against the spirit of the Canada Health Act. 1/3

They preach "Alberta First" while promising the Americans our water, oil, and land. I joined Edmonton's Mayor Andrew Knack on CBC's Power & Politics to call out the hypocrisy of the Alberta separatist movement. You don’t defend Alberta by putting our province up for sale to the United States.
