I'm starting to think Jeromy Farkas is the most powerful politician in Alberta.

[Clinton Bishop @ClintonBishop]

The City of Calgary made the right call here. The new rules strike a balance. Criticism from provincial and federal politicians is, quite frankly, ridiculous and misses the point. Keep at it @JeromyYYC

[Jeromy (Pathfinder) Farkas @JeromyYYC]

Michelle, that is false.

The City did not change the rules days before Stampede. Operators who ran past midnight last year were told in February that updated conditions would apply. Cowboys was told again in May.

The exemption was conditional. It depended on operators managing noise, safety, and impacts on nearby residents. They did not meet that standard.

We are taking public safety in our downtown seriously. Last year several hundred people brought complaints. People reported property damage, windows shaking, items falling from shelves, music until 2 a.m., disorder, and excessive intoxication spilling into nearby neighbourhoods.

The City still permits concerts until midnight on weeknights, with cool-down music past midnight. Weekend concerts run until 1:30 a.m., with cool-down music until 2 a.m.

No gets a free pass to disturb residents or create unsafe conditions. A great city backs major events and holds operators accountable.

@PfParks One of the last lines of defence for the org in the executive suite. So well respected by everyone and to be shoved out like this is very sad.

[Jeromy (Pathfinder) Farkas @JeromyYYC]

Albertans deserve to know exactly what some of the leading voices behind separation are advocating: mandatory military service, citizenship based on birthplace, and a vision of society that belongs in the past.

At a time when Calgary is attracting talent, investment, and opportunity from across Canada and around the world, the provincial referendum decision is giving oxygen to a movement that creates uncertainty, division, and risk.

Our city needs more homes, more jobs, more infrastructure, and stronger ties with the rest of Canada and the world. Instead, we're being dragged into a debate that threatens investment, undermines confidence, and distracts from the real challenges facing Albertans.

Calgary's future is as a growing, confident Canadian city. We must be focused on building that future, not legitimizing a movement that puts it at risk.

The United Conservative Party supports neither Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's pro-Canada campaign nor the push for separatism, according to the party president https://t.co/KxUfLQAzez w @mattscace67

[Sean Amato @JSJamato]

Premier Smith keeps saying 700,000 Albertans want this, but that's not true.

0 Albertans signed a petition for THIS question, 0 Stay Free Alberta signatures have been verified and the leader of the 400k signature petition says this was not their top option.

[Clinton Bishop @ClintonBishop]

@cspotweet @DevinShat It's odd to agree with David Parker that she should go. We just are thinking it for opposite reasons.

[Alberta NDP @albertaNDP]

No matter how they try to spin this, Danielle Smith and the UCP own this separatist referendum. She is a separatist Premier, and the UCP is a separatist party.

And Albertans will be left paying the price.

[Clinton Bishop @ClintonBishop]

What a shameful display from the UCP members of the select special committee. That point of privilege most certainly should have been referred to the speaker. Shame on @JasonNixonAB, @nateglubish, @TaraSawyer23, and Brandon Lunty. Sincerely, a @Alberta_UCP voter. #ableg #abpoli

[The Breakdown @TheBreakdownAB]

You HAVE to watch this clip!!!!

The UCP released a statement on the referendum committee before the committee was even done!

Seriously, watch this clip!

This is the UCP's "democracy" in action.

This is beyond the pale!

@DuaneBratt @LukaszukAB What are the odds they adjust the question along the way? 🤔

[Clinton Bishop @ClintonBishop]

@sarobertsonca They do find themselves in the middle of a lot of things. Corruption scandals, political interference, etc.

[Clinton Bishop @ClintonBishop]

Too little. Too late.

[Searle Turton @SearleTurton]

1/ Many Albertans have been impacted by the recent data breach and are rightfully concerned about their safety and privacy.
I want Albertans to know that your safety and well-being is top priority. Support is available for anyone feeling at risk or in need of assistance.
Call 211 Alberta 24/7 to connect with a variety of supports.

[Clinton Bishop @ClintonBishop]

@ryanjespersen @RealTalkRJ This was a phenomenal interview.

[Clinton Bishop @ClintonBishop]

@DuaneBratt Are UCP executive and comms staff that out of touch with the real world? This was such a bizarre strategy to watch unfold during QP.

[Clinton Bishop @ClintonBishop]

@JSJamato One of two things is true: these people were either incompetent or complicit. Seeing the unredacted personal information of a former premier should have been an immediate red flag for these UCP members.

[Morgan Laidler 🇨🇦 @MorganLaidler]

Albertans: Will Corrupt Care be the UCP’s biggest scandal?

The UCP: hold our beer.
