If those of you in other provinces ever wonder how Alberta ended up in the situation it now faces, this post is authored by one of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's most trusted advisors.

This Thanksgiving weekend, I’m reminded how blessed we are to live here in Alberta. The freedom to debate the big stuff, the passion people bring to this province, the courage to speak up when something matters – those are things we have to hold onto tightly and never lose.
The referendum next week is emotional for a lot of good people. Some passionate folks have had it with Ottawa and see going it alone as the only path forward. Other passionate, smart, wonderful people have had it with Ottawa too but would never vote to leave Canada. That’s all ok. What isn’t ok is demonizing those you disagree with or lumping everybody into one category because of how they vote on this. There are die-hard conservatives voting to stay – option 1. They are not Ottawa liberals any more than someone voting option 2 is a crazy right-wing nut job with a fourth-grade education.
A couple of reminders as we approach this vote.
1. Be aware of wolves in sheep’s clothing. Anybody marginalizing and shaming somebody for their viewpoint is usually doing it with the hope of sowing division. It’s often for perceived political gain. The obvious example is
@nenshi
and the type who ridicule people for their beliefs. It’s done to spread the false idea that their group and only their group owns the moral high ground. It’s the “all about me” mentality shared by too many on the left. And yes, there are those on the other side guilty of the same. Not the political leaders though. People like
@ABDanielleSmith
have been steadfast and unwavering in their support of democracy and accepting all viewpoints while not necessarily sharing them.
2. The mainstream media and yes some of the alt media too. Divide, fight, promote the us-vs-them mentality. They are always more interested in pitting people against each other and hyping it up than they are in doing an in-depth piece on the issues that actually got us here. Think Covid. Think infills. Think immigration. Think…

I drove down to Coutts to see the Forever Canadian bus roll through recently, and while I would have guessed there was overlap between those who supported the blockade and separatism, I didn't expect quite this much. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

For the record, since this story says media was denied access, I also tried to attend and as I was waiting in the hallway for an organizer (who said go away) I saw a certain scribbler from this very paper leaving the main room and was told he had an arrangement with the premier to hear her speak.

Should Danielle Smith be able to order your local council to vote to approve rezoning for a massive AI data centre? And threaten to fire your democratically elected mayor if they vote against it? This latest provincial overreach isn't about density. It's about your legal right to a fair hearing.

I'd encourage everyone to watch the full Real Talk episode... The Mayors of Alberta's two largest cities are (nicely) calling the Premier a LIAR! She does the same with HC, spouts a bunch of nonsense with confidence, even though what she says has no basis in fact or truth...

Hint: if they lose—in Smith’s CBC interview she says that means less than 50%—she’s out. Buckle up Alberta, there is NO EVIDENCE to suggest this assault against our sovereignty will stop on Oct 19. Get everyone you know to vote no & vote remain. Only a massive wave of decent will stop the crazy.

Overriding local decisions that allow for more housing supply makes zero sense. Watching a conservative government add heavy regulation to free-market housing supply is simply mind-boggling.
