This should invalidate all of the results. None of this would pass a basic ethics review.

A bold infographic titled "Alberta Next Town Hall – What Are They Afraid Of?" appears at the top in large black text. Below the title, there are 18 red “NO” icons arranged in a 3-row by 6-column grid. Each icon is enclosed in a red prohibition circle and represents a restriction related to Alberta’s town hall events. The following phrases appear under each symbol, from left to right, top to bottom: Row 1: NO OUT-OF-PROVINCE NO UNNAMED TICKETS NO UNMATCHED GOVERNMENT ID NO MORE THAN 4 TICKETS NO MULTIPLE TOWN HALLS NO PROTEST SIGNS Row 2: NO ADVOCACY FLYERS NO DISRESPECTFUL BEHAVIOUR NO DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOUR NO HECKLING NO PROTESTING NO CAMERAS Row 3: NO UNAUTHORIZED PHOTOGRAPHY NO AUDIO RECORDING NO UNAUTHORIZED VIDEOGRAPHY NO ROAMING MEDIA NO PRESS FREEDOM NO PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY At the bottom, in bold charcoal text, the footer reads: "Alberta’s town halls: Where democracy goes to die." The visual uses stark, repetitive symbols to emphasize control, exclusion, and suppression of dissent, with no positive invitation to open dialogue or diverse participation. The layout mimics an authoritarian rulebook disguised as civic engagement.

So much for the free market. For the 50% of Americans who did not vote for Trump, our new PM has 3 degrees in economics including a PhD from Oxford. Elbows UP 🇨🇦. Time to stop with the tariff nonsense and aggressive imperialistic policies, alienating all of the US allies. the US is becoming isolated
