UCP convention-goers voted to ban permanent residents and other non-citizens from being party members or voting to nominate candidates.
Saskatchewan Party grassroots did something similar; it could have a large effect on party base makeup in some ridings.

She looks genuinely surprised, and she needs these voters. Wonder how she’s going to manage that.
Perhaps a few more rounds of legislation with the notwithstanding clause.

Danielle Smith tried to sell her federal-Alberta energy deal to the UCP convention crowd: tepid applause.
She told them that this proved Canada can work well for Alberta’s interests: loud boos.
This ain’t a base that wants Smith to work with a Liberal PM on a better industrial carbon tax.

Prime Minister Mark Carney disagrees with the concept of a premier of one province unilaterally taking over a different province but his hands are tied by his unwillingness to do anything about it.

As a political scientist, I think the effects on unity are some of the biggest problems with the agreement. It legitimates "Alberta" as an aggrieved party, distinct from other provinces, while treating BC and its peoples to be as issues to be managed, rather than partners in the federation.

The interprovincial pipeline battle will be deeply divisive and nasty. I think it’s fair to say that communication between the feds, First Nations, Alberta and BC has not gotten off to a good start.
Premier David Eby, speaking now, cites PM Carney's comments from earlier this week that pipeline would have to have agreement from B.C. and First Nations.
"This project does not have the support of Coastal First Nations," he says. Adds no proponent, no route, no money.

The UCP argues recall is being weaponized against policy, not misconduct.
By that logic, the Gondek recall was also weaponized, as it was explicitly against her policies.

Dale Nally accessed a constituent’s voting record. Most campaigns have elections Alberta data that shows whether or not someone voted. As a volunteer on campaigns I have had access to such data.
But have I ever accessed voter data and used it to attack someone?
Hell no.
