Separatism isn’t new in AB. & it’s not something to trivialize. I appreciated this conversation on it with Stéphane Dion & the good folks at the Pearson Centre—have a listen. thepearsoncentre.ca/canadian-unity-the-clari...

The best news I've read in a long time.
Elections Alberta is demanding answers from the Alberta Prosperity Project on compliance with initiative petition financing rules - and doing so now rather than waiting until the petition papers are handed in.
Kudos Elections Alberta.

I work in IT, which is the reason our house has: - mechanical locks - mechanical windows - routers using OpenWRT - no smart home crap - no Alexa/Google Assistant/... - no internet connected thermostats Tech Enthusiasts: Everything in my house is wired to the Internet of Things! I control it all from my smartphone! My smart-house is bluetooth enabled and I can give it voice commands via alexa! ! love the future! Programmers/ Engineers: The most recent piece of technology I own is a printer from 2004 and keep a loaded gun ready to shoot it if it ever makes an unexpected noise.
I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

8/13 Commissioner Hale systematically dismantled this defense.
She pointed out that the APP formally incorporated under the provincial Societies Act on January 26. The official filings list Sylvestre as the chair and Rath himself as a director.
3/13 Lawyers for the election commissioner are scheduled for an Edmonton court on Monday.
Their goal is to secure an injunction forcing the APP to show exactly where its funding is coming from, how it’s being spent, and to halt all further advertising until they comply.
“Court documents obtained by The Tyee show lawyers for Election Commissioner Paula Hale are scheduled to be in an Edmonton court on Monday in an attempt to gain an injunction against the Alberta Prosperity Project, or APP.”

"While doctors and other stakeholders have been shut out of the policymaking process, the Smith government is consulting with private insurers"
This govt is working with HC insurance companies
#WelcomeToAlberta —
Your dollars will subsidize delinquent oil and gas scammers
"hi can you recommend any super cheap, ethically made clothes that will last forever and make me feel like a swaddled little baby while also making me look like a super attractive, stylish man, yet take no time or effort to acquire? this is social media, so pls just drop a link."
This is the scrum with Brandon Lunty and reporters today in the Alberta legislature. He’s the UCP MLA tasked with overseeing the Alberta government’s re-do of the Electoral Boundaries commission report, with the help of a new panel.
Premier Danielle Smith is spending millions of tax dollars to sell you an Alberta Pension Plan that nobody asked for. Use this website to send a personalized email to Premier Smith telling her to stay away from our CPP. donttouchcpp.ca/directmessage
Just got an email from CUPE Alberta. The UCP is in the consultation phase of pulling Alberta out of the CPP. The UCP is "doubling down". They are starting an email campaign, click on link below to send your email.

On the day the UCP gov’t announces a new sign initiative to replace “Welcome to Alberta” I would submit this:
“Welcome To Alberta—
UCP Gerrymandering Rules This Province”
#WelcomeToAlberta
#Alberta folks, it appears the #UCP is going full autocrat and throwing out the electoral commission report in favour of a partisan process to tilt the field in its favour. So afraid of losing, they're going to cheat.

It costs the City of Ottawa $465/person each year to serve new low-density homes, over & above what it receives from property taxes/fees.
On the other hand, high-density infill such as apartment buildings pays for itself plus an extra $606/person each year.
Sprawl costs, infill saves. #UrbanTruth
Reading Poilievre’s statement he seems to believe Mark Carney was the only person to sign the MOU #CDNpoli #ABpoli
I thought the Premier of Alberta had agreed to the terms in the MOU, and that she had agreed to find a company interested in building a pipeline. I also believed that “polluter pay” meant taxpayers aren’t on the hook for costs of oil and gas production including costs of pollution.
