If an NDP had done this, there would be a huge media pile on for as long as the media could keep it in the headlines. Now, we'll be told that Fir issued an apology & the public should consider the matter closed, completely ignoring the fact the UCP governs only for its base & not for all Albertans

This is a metaphor that applies more broadly, too: pandering to a tiny minority of conspiracy-curious Albertans makes life objectively (and needlessly) worse for the rest of us.

When the election is long past and you still don't know who your councillor is, please remember it's because Danielle Smith's base doesn't like electronic vote tabulators (which are accurate, have been used for decades, and saved time and money).

The long count: Alberta communities prepare to tally ballots by hand | CBC News
Alberta municipalities are in for a long night — and in many cases, days — to complete the more complicated process of counting every ballot on election day by hand, rather than machine.

Danielle Smith weaponized separatism to stay in power.
To keep UCP separatist fringes satisfied, she’s jeopardizing Canada’s unity and economic stability.

Danielle Smith and the UCP most definitely make Alberta unattractive for investment and talent recruitment.l (like medical doctors)
Would you invest your money in, or move to a place where they hold referendums on separating from Canada?
Look how this lunacy drove business away from Quebec.

The Prime Minister of a sovereign country came to the United States today and actually had to tell the President of the United States - to his face - that his sovereign country wasn’t for sale. And would never be for sale.

All kidding aside, the biggest reason to keep Poilievre out of Parliament is to change the tone. We can't operate as a civil nation when one party leader exists only to attack the other. Civil debates and factual discussions, not personal attacks and three-word slogans, please.
