🧵As the Mayors of Alberta’s largest cities, we are standing up against the referendum for a referendum and encouraging Albertans to vote this October.

Apparently, the mayor of Taber and their city council approved this billboard.

I will be buying my corn from British Columbia’s venders this summer instead.

@LukaszukAB This week, the residents of Westlock overwhelmingly rejected TBA candidate Benita Peterson at the polls.

If Westlock can rise up against TBA’s dangerous ideological agenda, so can the rest of Alberta

I have a lot of hope we can prevent his hate from spreading.

Arlene Dickinson on Danielle Smith: "I find it difficult to believe that she is not trying to push a separatist agenda and if she isn't then she's doing a really poor job of governing and showing people what she really cares about."

[🌻 Derek Anderson @DerekCrimLaw]

Oh—and before I forget.

Always worth reminding you @UCPCaucus geniuses that you’ve probably conflicted every single AB lawyer out of being able to act fo you, since we’ve all been implicated as victims.

So to paraphrase your hero @PierrePoilievre: how’d you like them apples?

"Sorry but this isn’t western alienation. This isn’t a protest vote. This sure appears to be a deliberate step-by-step attempt to dismantle Canadian democracy and Albertans deserve SO much better."

[Gil McGowan @gilmcgowan]

Enough is enough. With the separatists essentially “doxxing” nearly 3 million Albertans and the UCP continuing with their campaign to turn our province into a Trump/MAGA outpost, it’s time for mass protest. May 29 is the day. Put it in your calendar. https://t.co/ggIzRaOiXF

There’s a federal petition right now E7340, and every Canadian should be paying attention and signing.

This isn’t partisan.
This is about foreign interference.

It calls to:
• Refer Alberta’s Justice Statutes Amendment Act to the Supreme Court
• Investigate reported meetings between the Alberta Prosperity Project and U.S. officials

And let’s be honest
we’ve already seen unofficial trips to Washington.

Why are Canadian political actors meeting U.S. officials while pushing Alberta separation?

That’s deeply concerning.

We’ve spent years warning about foreign interference in elections,
what about interference in breaking up Canada itself?

Foreign influence in our sovereignty is a red line.

Google: Petition E7340 sign it.

If you care about transparency and protecting Canada sign it.

Because if foreign interests are shaping our future, that’s not politics. That’s a national threat.

[Captain Canadian @furmsies]

I think a class action lawsuit needs to be filled against the Centurion Project, David Parker, and anyone else who illegally published OUR personal data.

The amount of trouble this could have, and still may cause is unimaginable.

They should be sued into the dirt.

[Integrity @integritycdn]

Many more groups of Albertans who put their lives at risk for the Vulnerable have been put in harms way

Those working in Law Enforcement, Judicial system, Social Workers, Politicians…

The list is endless.

You should be furious Alberta

Fucking Furious🔥🔥🔥

The ranching business of Alberta's finance minister has received $87k in compensation from taxpayer funds since 2021 for oil and gas wells on his property and grazing leases. Important read by my pal Drew at The Narwhal https://t.co/mshGyd29M9 #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

"The evidence uncovered by Mr. Edmonstone’s legal actions and The Globe’s reporting have pointed toward the same locus: the Edmonton company MHCare Medical."

Note that many of the major players in this insane story are tied to the UCP & Danielle Smith.

First the scandal, then the surveillance.

Here's my pal @TuThanhHa with a deep dive on the harrassment of a former AHS board member, AHS' former CEO, and reporters from The Globe and Mail.

À compter d'aujourd'hui, le nouveau gouvernement canadien suspend la taxe d'accise fédérale sur les carburants — et on constate déjà une baisse des prix à la pompe.

Des économies concrètes pour les résidents d'Edmonton. ⛽️🇨🇦

[Duane Bratt🇨🇦 @DuaneBratt]

Elections are about people choosing their representatives, not politicians choosing their voters. Yet that is what the UCP is planning. It is planning to deliberately disenfranchise urban voters. Red Deer and Lethbridge would not exist as autonomous political entities.

[Duane Bratt🇨🇦 @DuaneBratt]

@FreeAlbertaRob This is the key message from Justice Miller "For all the reasons stated herein, the majority recommends the adoption of the majority report in its totality." That is not what you are doing, you are picking and choosing which of his recommendations to adopt.

[Duane Bratt🇨🇦 @DuaneBratt]

There is a reason that we do not have MLAs decide on electoral boundaries. Tossing out the Electoral Boundaries Commission and replacing it with a UCP-dominated committee is not just a bad idea. It is really bad for democracy. Ask the US, ask Hungary. This is not normal!
