@BMCTelevision@garry_keller@Evan_Menzies Wrong, it was agreed to and ratified by 95%+ of both Wildrose and PC Party membership in separate party wide votes after extensive consultations with members. The AIP was THE founding document of the UCP.
Some 40,000 Wildrose members voted on an agreement where that was a negotiated principle. Itโs not incorrect to say that the party was founded on the principle.
It's time to lead, not leave. This is our country too, and Albertans should be at the table shaping our future, not leaving it to the elites who spent the last decade trying to remake Canada without us.
WATCH: @mattsolberg on why Premier Danielle Smith will play a more significant role than anyone else in the referendum campaign, why her federalist position is an asset, and why reaching persuadable voters will require distinct messengers for distinct audiences.

WATCH: @mattsolberg on why separatist sentiment in Alberta runs deeper than public opinion research suggests, why the existential nature of the referendum will force disengaged voters off the sidelines, and why the push for a pipeline could shift the numbers significantly before October.

Awesome to see the @VotetoStayAB campaign launched with @montesolberg and @jkenney~!
My parents and grandparents are from Alberta. My grandfather worked Leduc No. 1.
Our family spent multiple summers in Alberta. I've lived in Alberta, and got my start in politics there.
It's a place where you can make things happen. It should stay that way.
I'm a Saskatchewanian in Ottawa, but I'll do what I can to help this campaign succeed. ๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ
Not supposed to keep score in U5 Timbits soccer, but my kid just scored his first ever goal and I will be filing the official match report with @CanadaSoccerEN shortly.
Entire industries exist to follow Alberta politics at the deepest possible level right now, and half the people I know have somehow ended up on a Centurion email list. I'd have listened it to this one too if I'd been more on top of things just to understand what organizers were up to.
Treating anyone who observed a public Zoom meeting as somehow complicit is ridiculous. It also presumes complete transparency on source of data in that meeting from a group without a record to match.
WOW.
The UCP is now confirming their staff attended a Centurion Project meeting on April 16, but say they did not know the data was (allegedly) illegally obtained.
The NDP shared screen shots of the mtg, where Jason Kenney's info was allegedly displayed.

Up early to join @YourMorning to discuss the Alberta/Canada MOU, whether agreements on carbon pricing and the Pathways project will be met by April 1, and if not, why y'all shouldn't freak out just yet.
