It was all in Jason Kenney’s 2019 platform.

[Greg MacEachern @gmacofglebe]

Who could have seen that a government normalizing constitutional referendums and creating a citizen-initiative process might be used by separatists?

If you open the referendum door don’t be shocked your province walks through it.

It's actually for people who are 50+ *or* are immunocompromised. You don't have to be both.

Dude’s going to lose his mind when he finds out about libraries.

Danielle Smith knows nothing about those separatist ‘negotiations’ in D.C.? So what good is her ‘Top Secret’ security clearance? https://t.co/LIPJqpDWEq #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

Naheed Nenshi on Danielle Smith calling for Alberta NDP to cut ties with federal NDP: "If we're now in the business of telling other parties what to do, then I'll tell Danielle Smith, how about you get rid of the separatists in your party?"

[Shannon Phillips 🇨🇦 @SPhillipsAB]

Conservatives sure have some interesting folks who share their views.

What does it mean, to root me out of the province I have always lived in? What does we think this fellow means by that?

This particular bitch isn’t going anywhere.

[Preston @Prestondaniel97]

What’s funny is the NDP pretending that their ideologies aren’t explicitly anti-Canadian, anti-Albertan and the reason that our nation is dying.

You’re the whole damn cancer, bitch. We are going to root you out of our province

[Jared Wesley @DrJaredWesley]

As you read this meticulously researched article, keep in mind: Danielle Smith and the UCP made it all easier, not harder, for these guys to control our political agenda.

Don't for a moment think it stops at one referendum question, either.

Say no to the 9 and remain.

[Shannon Phillips 🇨🇦 @SPhillipsAB]

@B_BewickPhD @irbrodie You guys’ll never believe this, but we always have a jolly time!

[Shannon Phillips 🇨🇦 @SPhillipsAB]

Alberta’s NDP harbours no seditionists.

So no, it’s not the same.

This is not a both-sides problem. The separation problem is a UCP problem because Conservatives have allowed it to become one.

Conservatives should solve their internal problems, not blame others for them.

[Michael Solberg 🇨🇦 @MichaelSolberg]

I think @ABDanielleSmith’s deference to her caucus is a strength.

The UCP has tough debates ahead. Some even existential. No question. But let’s drop the fiction that fringe views and caucus divisions are exclusively conservative problems.

The NDP has its own to answer for.

My take on @PnPCBC 👇

[Stephen Carter @carter_AB]

Danielle Smith does not like being called “racist”.

My advice: stop acting as a racist.

Value the human not their taxes. And immigrant workers pay taxes too.

[Shannon Phillips 🇨🇦 @SPhillipsAB]

Good news for fans of the rule of law (which should include conservatives)

[CTV News Calgary @CTVCalgary]

Alberta’s top court upholds convictions of leaders at Coutts blockade https://t.co/iHEym4n3gU

[Chris Berthelot 🇨🇦 @DebatingChris]

This is quite simply the best takedown of Danielle Smith I've seen this year, and I saw her get booed at her own party AGM like she was Justin Trudeau.

We made an ad.

Discuss.

[kyall glennie @kyall]

UCP MLA Jason Stephan supports a 13% sales tax.

[Aaron @aasingleton17]

Blocked by Rob this week so I can't QT, but with that said.

Yes. If you pay taxes, you should have access to the services those taxes pay for.

I would be happy for my tax dollars to support a family over, say, a multi-million-dollar referendum to save my job #ableg

[Shannon Phillips 🇨🇦 @SPhillipsAB]

A “hero with other people’s money,” one might say of the $10 million the Premier of Alberta spent of our tax dollars on the Alberta is Calling campaign, and the moving bonus program that was still active throughout 2025.

[Shannon Phillips 🇨🇦 @SPhillipsAB]

People who work here pay taxes.

“Guest workers” is language imported from the European right. We’ve never used this terminology in Canada.

If we had a spike in in-migration in Alberta (that has since subsided), it’s because UCP spent millions of our money on an ad campaign…

[Rob Anderson @FreeAlbertaRob]

You’re a real hero with other people’s money Stephen.

So you actually believe we should pay for a non-citizen, non permanent resident guest worker’s health and education costs? And their family’s health and education costs?

You do know that virtually no other country on earth does this right?

[Shannon Phillips 🇨🇦 @SPhillipsAB]

@vancolour You are wearing the housecoat AT us, Mo

[Andrew Robert Francis @T8NTraynor]

Conservatives are free market - up until it clashes with 'Build Absolutely Nothing, Anywhere, Near Anyone' NIMBYs who go nuclear over townhomes being built in an established SFH neighbourhood. Stay in your lanes!
