The biggest sideshow of all time is done. The referendum sure wasn't worth the money, the division, the anger, all in aid of holding the Smith's UCP together. Column. https://t.co/UkieS6GzYG #abreferendum #ableg #yyc #yeg #cdnpoli #abpoli

Again: That referendum sure wasn't worth the money, the division, the political goal of holding the UCP together. It was a political hoax. Column. https://t.co/UkieS6GzYG #abreferendum #ableg #yyc #yeg #cdnpoli #abpoli

Separatism was clobbered in the referendum - but it still thrives in the United Conservative Party. Column. https://t.co/UkieS6GzYG #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #yyc #yeg #abgov #abreferendum

This is disinformation. Election workers are required to initial ballots. So, this is an exact opposite of the truth. See Elections Alberta statement at the bottom.

Whoever is working Elections Alberta comms deserves a raise.

Politicians once at odds are uniting to back Canada in referendum vote. Much of the fervor comes from conservatives. Meanwhile separatist campaigns have switched to "send a message" strategy. Column. https://t.co/CzmUqBdUK8 #ableg #ableg #abpoli #canpoly #yyc #yeg #cdnpoli

Glen Resler went to Elections HQ to hand them his special ballot. They wouldn't take it - even though he's the former Elections Alberta boss, Many others had the same experience. Resler is annoyed. Column https://t.co/2wFtBzlOL8 #abreferendum #abvote #yyc #yeg #canpoly #ableg

In a column a week ago I predicted the claims of fraud would start even before the voting is over.

Jeffrey Rath: "Next time around, we'll have a leader that believes in independence in charge of the UCP. We'll see how it goes when there isn't a premier in office that's rigging the outcome of the referendum."

In response to earlier tweet saying Smith must show a readout of private speech to True North, her office sent me the text. Little she hasn't said before. She trumpets economy, says Canada is working, hopes people vote to stay. etc. #abpoli #canpoli #ableg #absepararism
