Danielle Smith‬⁩ in Question Period is trying hard to misrepresent the nearly half milion Albertans who signed the #ForeverCanadian petition.

Premier, do what’s right, not what separatists want. Call for a vote in the Legislature and avoid a divisive referendum.

CONGRATULATIONS #ForeverCanadian volunteers!

Elections Alberta just informed me that our Forever Canadian petition is approved! Your hard work and love for Canada paid off!

Now, the Premier must do the right thing and call for a vote in the Legislature.

Why are there 14 UCP MLA recall petitions approved? Because the UCP MLAs are not listening to their constituents. And their party AGM shows just how out of touch they are with the majority of Albertans.

If you can, please sign to recall your MLA

Opinion: The UCP is a party with concerns wildly divergent from those of Albertans at large
Province has often taken inspiration from party policies to develop government legislation

I was lucky enough to have helped Tim with 2 albums. He was demonstrably one of the greatest blues musicians in the world winning the World Blues Challenge for solo guitar. Not just a stunning player, he was a true musicologist and loved to share his love and understanding of the blues. RIP Tim

You know what Albertans are saying? "G-Bye! Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. Oh, and good riddance."

Only Trudeau could stand the man. Glad he's gone.

The count is now 8 UCP MLAs facing recall. If only half of them are recalled, the UCP will loose it's majority.

When reached for comment, Justice Minister Amery stated “AI legislation could be sloppy, amateurish, and might even make shit up, so we are confident it will be indistinguishable from anything else we’ve put into law.”

The sound of The Empathist is influenced by the brilliant multi-instrumentalist and Nashville studio musician, Jim Hoke, who brought his joy and musicality to play on so many instruments and was an essential part of the sessions. If it ain't Hoke, fix it!

Another reminder of why there are so many recalls going on for UCP MLAa. They have ceased to represent the interests of the vast majority of Albertans.

What the UCP doing greatly concerns me. They are actively NOT listening to their constituents. They are aggressively pursuing policies that they promised they would not, or they are implementing policies that they know ABs don't want. We must recall them. Please participate to save this province

Again, support the recall of your local UCP MLA because the MLAs are not listening to what constituents want for the province.
The UCP voted down the NDP’s proposed amendments to increase minimum wage and index it to inflation.

Support your local UCP MLA recall and stop this government. They do not represent their constituents.
Here is a picture from the 2023 provincial election campaign. See if you can spot the differences.
