"Last Friday, the Alberta government cancelled negotiations with two companies, owned in part by Mr. Mraiche...That move deepened the mystery surrounding the government’s actions, and leaves fundamental questions unanswered."

This is incredibly problematic!!
Can anyone explain to me what it means for one leader to have the final say on what is legally & constitutionally acceptable?

Smith doubled down on her anti court rhetoric today...

She even seemed to suggest that federally appointed judges couldn't render impartial rulings and that she believed her interpretation should always be above theirs.

In addition to donating to, or subscribing to, news organizations that are investigating the backsliding, if you're a subject expert, respond to interview requests from journalists who work for news organizations, however small, that are producing political accountability journalism.
Use your memberships and money.

Join organizations that defend democratic norms.

Cancel business with those that openly attack them.

Even small donations to local media, NGOs, and community groups matter.

Subscribe to news organizations that are investigating the backsliding.

This is among the most democratically dangerous things Danielle Smith has said.

She wants to remove all checks and balances on her power and projects herself as the embodiment of "the people."

We have left the realm of liberal democracy in this province.

Looks like Nefarious Nate Neudorf of Lethbridge East may have orchestrated his own recall petition to prevent it from actually happening.

WOW!!!

Not only have the courts ruled that the separatists referendum is unconstitutional and that separatism would require the consent of First Nations...

A SCATHING epilogue directly called out Alberta trying to legislate away the courts ability to issue a decision!

Have your say in the provincial government's survey for budget 2026. Make sure they feel compelled to hide the results of this one too. 😅

We caught the UCP red-handed.

We asked Public Safety & Emergency Services for any correspondence between Min. Ellis & the Edmonton Police Commission.

They told us - twice - there was none.

We asked the Commission & got 130 pages including 5 letters signed by Ellis. #abpoli

AB Politics 101: Premier Danielle Smith's master class in selective history.

AB portrays itself as a peripheral colony serving the industrial priorities of Canada’s core.

Smith's pressure on B.C. to compromise marine ecology for AB's economic benefit replicates that very dynamic.

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.

The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Since the UCP did not campaign on what it is doing, let’s do “recall” as one Citizen Initiative:

“The undersigned residents of Alberta petition the Legislative Assembly to request the Lt Governor to dissolve the Legislature immediately for the purpose of holding a General Election.”

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I hope Albertans will remember that trans kids and teens are living breathing humans who just want to be themselves, without fear of hate and discrimination. Demonizing kids merely to score political points in some weird culture war is craven and cruel.
