🚨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.

When a sitting U.S. president makes insulting remarks about Canada and threatens its sovereignty, I’ll criticize the United States and its administration if I bloody well please. What happens in that country has a big impact in the world, so no, I won’t “stay in my own lane.”
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.

If you're anywhere in Canada & think that Smith's attempt to gerrymander Alberta's ridings doesn't effect you, think again
If Canadians let Smith get away with this, then Moe, Ford, any premier or prime minister can manipulate the ridings to hang onto power
It must be stopped

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

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

Another voice raising concerns over Alberta's plan to redraw the electoral map, with the Canadian Civil Liberties Association saying the UCP's plan "casts a doubt over the equity and fairness of Alberta’s electoral process."
As Premier Danielle Smith appears poised to bring permantn DST to Alberta, a reminder that Albertans voted against adopting Daylight Saving Time in a referendum in 2021.
I think most people would prefer this. #Science
Huh…go figure. I wonder how Smith and Amery will get them out of this one…
Smith’s Gerrymandering a Classic Sign of Authoritarian Gov't
Political scientist @DuaneBratt says if @ABDanielleSmith follows through with electoral boundary plan, it's a 5-alarm crisis for Alberta democracy.

8/8 The glaring contrast between the government's constrained survey format and the raw public anger exposed in these documents sets the stage for a dramatic political showdown this fall.
Public resentment is growing.

“If the govt were looking to... gerrymander districts... this new, hastily designed process undercuts [public consultation] and puts the decisions in the hands of partisan appointees in a way that we have not seen in Canada since the 1940s.”

BREAKING: Just 20 minutes before Trump's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz was open, massive trades hit the market.
Investors sold a combined 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures, ​a $760 million bet that oil would go down.
These orders were much larger than anything else at the time.
Unusual.
Today's essential read for all Albertans.
And not to disparage @thetyee.ca, but this is a major, national story, that CBC and Postmedia and all MSM should be covering.
kudos to @charlesrusnell.bsky.social for the excellent reporting.

We should be learning from other countries...
"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." -Pope Leo XIV
They are literally making it up as they go along. When they don't like the outcome, the Smith government rigs the process.
It's a worrisome pattern for those who care about procedural fairness and institutional forebearance.
You know, real conservatives.

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
