Exactly.

If it’s Canada’s coast, not BC’s, then it’s Canada’s oil, not AB’s.

You don’t get to have it both ways, Dani.

The AB UCP are ignorant and careless. It’s hard to believe that any politician would actually say this out loud knowing the devastation this will cause up the food chain. 0 days without some UCP cretin embarrassing themselves and the province.

If you'd like to voice your concerns about Pierre Poileivre you can call his constituency office in Battle River Crowfoot at 780-608-4600. That used to be Damien Kurek's number when he was the MP for the riding but whatever.

If we had proportional representation we wouldn't have had a Conservative government since 1984. Canada is a progressive country with a broken electoral system. #ndp #cdnpoli #electoralreform
Graphs of the proportional vote throughout the Canadian Elections (1984 - 2025) show the conservatives only winning in the 1984 election, and no others.

Appalling behaviour on the part of the AG. s 2.1 of the Act expressly authorizes the CEO to seek the Court's opinion. This section was amended in the last session to provide timelines. If the AG didn't want the CEO to use it the UCP shd have removed it and left it to judicial review. #abpoli #ableg

This morning Alberta's justice minister said "we encourage" Elections Alberta to stop seeking guidance from the courts on a proposed referendum on separation.

This afternoon Elections Alberta issued a public statement reminding everyone it is "an independent, non-partisan office."
@mickeyamery Statement: Response to Citizen Initiative process The recently passed amendments to the Citizen Initiative Act are intended to be broadly permissive and to allow Albertans the opportunity to launch a referendum petition without needless bureaucratic red tape or court applications slowing the process. As it is the Government of Alberta that ultimately decides how or if to implement any referendum result, those government decisions will ultimately be subject to constitutional scrutiny. We encourage Elections Alberta to withdraw its court reference and permit Albertans their democratic right to participate in the citizen initiative process. Statement re: Citizen Initiative Application Update July 29, 2025 Media inquiries The Chief Electoral Officer is an independent, non-partisan Officer of the Legislature. The Citizen Initiative Act permits important questions that have constitutional implications to be put to a referendum. The constitutional referendum question proposed is: Do you agree that the Province of Alberta shall become a sovereign country and cease to be a province in Canada? This is a serious and significant question, with the potential to have profound impact on all Albertans. The Chief Electoral Officer has responsibility under the Citizen Initiative Act to determine if the requirements of s.2 of that Act have been met. One of those requirements set out in section 2(4) of the Act is that “An initiative petition proposal must not contravene sections 1 to 35.1 of the Constitution Act, 1982”. Given the potential implications of the constitutional referendum proposal and given the Legislature has expressly authorized the Chief Electoral Officer to state a question seeking the opinion of the Court, the Chief Electoral Officer has referred a question to the Court for its opinion. The Chief Electoral Officer has requested the Court provide an opinion on the following question: Does the following proposal contravene section 2(4) of the Citizen Initiative Act, in that it contravenes any or all of sections 1 through 35.1 of the Constitution Act, 1982: “Do you agree that the Province of Alberta shall become a sovereign country and cease to be a province in Canada?” Without limiting the scope of the question posed, does the proposal contravene any of the following sections? Section 1 – The guarantee of the rights contained in the Charter Section 3 – Democratic rights of citizens Section 6 – Mobility rights Section 7 – Right to life, liberty and security of the person Section 15 – Equality before and under law and equal protection and benefit of law Section 24 – E…

Russia expert Chris Alexander said that the so-called freedom convoy that occupied Ottawa in Feb. 2022 and blockaded Canadian-American border crossings at Windsor, Ontario and Coutts, Alberta, was heavily influenced and funded by Russia.

Clumsily planned grift by the UCP to liberate more Albertan taxpayer dollars and transfer them into the hands of her fossil fuel industry buddies while also being able to claim “she’s protecting Albertans”. Whether incompetence or corruption, I’m inclined to believe the latter, the UCP must go.

🧵The world’s flagship carbon capture and storage project (in Australia) promised to sequester at least 80% of the CO2 from an LNG plant.

Since starting up in 2019 it’s failed to do that—never came close—and it’s failing worse over time. Capture rate has now sunk to 30%.
