If you're in Tara Armstrong's riding of Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream join the recall army that is forming. April 20, 2026 can't come soon enough. Today in the legislature the Premier stated he supports a recall campaign against her.

Smith: “These recall petitions are an abuse of the process.”
Voters: File even more recall petitions.
Smith: “Fine. I’ll just use the notwithstanding clause again.”

As of November 18, 2025 there are now 13 active recall campaigns officially approved by Elections Alberta.

First it was labour unions, now it is trans kids. Will you be next? Alberta's UCP government has invoked the notwithstanding clause to override Charter rights... again.

I love this for them. No space for racism in BC. I'm glad this group is a minority struggling for relevance. Both Prestige Inns and Coast Hotels denied them a venue.

Today’s piece isn’t what I usually write about. Most of my columns focus on community, politics, and the social currents that shape our world. But sometimes, life reminds us that meaning can be found in much smaller, quieter places.

Poilievre's slide into obscurity hastens. Edmonton Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux quit today basically saying the way things are going isn't what he expected. #cdnpoli

Armstrong refers to me, one of her constituents, as an insane leftist. Fun fact: printing my name and handle repeatedly doesn’t make me go away. It just proves you notice me… a lot. And the reaction shows we're over the mark in calling for decency over division & drama in the BC Legislature.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Creative resistance happening in Calgary. I wonder if the UCP gov't ever thought the changes to recall legislation they targeted at the NDP would come back to bite them.

The Supreme Court struck down a mandatory minimum for child porn possession. Politicians react, but performative outrage isn't justice. Context matters. Read my article here: queergranddad.substack.com/p/justice-re...
