Inexplicably the UCP believe they are protecting Albertans. 🙄

"They went door-to-door to tell their neighbors what the city had not told them: The data center would use twice as much electricity as all of Monterey Park."

The city’s notification in English reached only 40 people living within 500 feet. Activists worked in English, Chinese, Spanish & more!

Southwest Minnesota board says no to proposed $4 billion data center complex The CEO of Geronimo Power says the company is looking at alternative options in other communities.

This is what we need more of!

Part of me thought that maybe, one or two UCP MLAs have a conscience, maybe one that claims to be Christian, and respect democracy and would not support cheating in elections.

It's surreal to think Alberta has come to this. There is no debate the most corrupt Alberta government ever: Smith's UCP.

Danielle Smith Why are you so afraid to put the #ForeverCanadian question to a Legislature vote?

If you are afraid and insist on a referendum, then put this question on the ballot. It received half million signatures, is approved and constitutional.

Alberta NDP are accusing the UCP of stalling progress on the successful Forever Canada petition so that its work won't be finished until after a potential seperatist referendum.

They add motions to finish work by May 7th and to hear from proponent Thomas Lukaszuk were shot down.

🚨BREAKING!🚨

The UCP have officially voted to ditch the Electoral Boundaries Commission Report to appoint their own commission and draw their own maps!

Gerrymandering is official UCP policy in Alberta!

Contrary to her script, Smith didn't even show up for the vote.

"That is not a gathering shaped by the values of welcome and humility. It is a gathering shaped by access and privilege."

Almost 100 faith leaders across the province have penned an open letter condemning Smith's elite "Christian Summit" that costs up to $650 a ticket.

Somebody please make the stupid stop.

#ForeverCanadian will win the referendum despite the premier’s and foreign interference, despite foreign cash backing separatism, and despite Alberta Government constantly gerrymandering laws to favor separatists.

Why? Because we will spare no effort fighting for Canada🇨🇦

3 UCP legislature committee members forced a vote through to deny me, the proponent of #ForeverAlberta petition, Alberta’s largest ever petition, to appear before the committee and speak on behalf of the nearly 500,000 Albertans.

This is another move to assist the separatists.

Danielle Smith's UCP is behaving exactly how 5th columnists in countries that neighbor authoritarian regimes behave, right before they invite an invasion.
And once upon a time I'd have thought myself paranoid for writing something like that.

AI Chatbot Told Users That Herbal Remedies Can Treat Cancer Nearly half of chatbot answers to medical questions deemed 'problematic' in study

@nbtiller.bsky.social: So nearly half (49.6%) were classified as problematic. And within that, 30% were somewhat problematic and about 20%, so one fifth, were highly problematic.

More on our study...☝️

The UCP want to decide on how to proceed with the #ForeverCanadian petition but have refused to listen to the proponent of the petition.
They want to make decisions to benefit themselves to hell with what Albertans want or anyone with expertise thinks.
Another example of the UCP BS.
🤬🤬😡🤬🤬

He meant #ForeverCanadian. Was probably seething from the UCP authoritarian decision and mistyped.
I know I would be seething.

Moving the Goalposts: Danielle Smith’s Referendum Narrative Starts to Collapse Under Its Own… There’s a point in politics where delay stops looking like diligence and starts looking like design. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith may…

Nailed it!
“When a Premier claims that delays are caused by a proponent’s inconsistency — and that proponent can demonstrably show otherwise — it doesn’t just undermine the specific argument. It erodes trust in the entire process.”

UCP government’s electoral map move undemocratic: commission member - Red Deer Advocate Electoral Boundaries Commission majority report rejected by government

“The UCP government’s plan to dismiss an independent electoral boundary commission riding map recommendations and undertake a redo is a “stab in the heart for democracy,” said one commission member.”

Duane Bratt: Gerrymandering electoral map will erode Alberta democracy Thursday was a bad day for democracy, and possibly setting up an even worse day for democracy.

“It is not an exaggeration to say that the minority report was gerrymandered to benefit the UCP by significantly diluting urban voters.”

They never understand the difference between correlation and causation.
Did Trudeau cause the economy to dip because of Covid?
Did Carney cause the world wide increase in oil price?
Did Smith cause the dip in renewable investment in Alberta? Okay that was actually causation.

I’m pretty happy except for the absolutely insane government trying to ruin what has been a pretty decent place to live.

A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑

In a nutshell. 😊

Are you sure? I thought they sold them off. There could be others I didn’t know about.
