Never thought I'd post this…but here we go…
All I ever wanted to be was a journalist, but after 21 years I’ve filed my final story.
I’m choosing to take a stand for Alberta & Canada.
I'll share more soon, but for now, thanks to everyone who follows & supports my work!
It’s pretty much impossible to overstate the contributions that @JSJamato has made to journalism in Alberta.
But if he’s stepping up for Alberta and Canada, what ever comes next can only be more impactful.
Thanks for everything you’ve done so far!

We’ll miss you, Sean. Fearless, inquisitive, relentless - I could add more words that describe a great journo and they’d all apply to you. Best wishes.
Thank you to CityNews and all my colleagues there for a great couple of years. We produced some of the best journalism at #ableg and I’m very proud of all we accomplished together. #yegmedia

Not that it really matters, but since there’s debate in the replies…
The separatists and the pro-Canada/anti-UCP folks both had midday rallies recently. I was at both.
The Fight Back one today was at least 10 times the size. #ableg#cdnpoli
Big rally rolling through downtown Edmonton.
Thousands shouting “UCP has got to go” and “Alberta election now.”
The gov’t issued a statement saying this is the work of a failed NDP candidate (Gil McGowan) and this will fail like recalls & a general strike did. #ableg#cdnpoli
Alberta police and politicians gathered Thursday to announce a funding boost to combat extortionist gangs that are using guns and arson to terrorize South Asian Albertans. As Sean Amato reports, police say they need to catch up technologically. #ableg

Canada’s prime minister says Alberta’s referendum is ‘unhelpful’ in attracting private capital for a new pipeline. As Sean Amato reports, Mark Carney is now being joined in the push to stay by other well-known Albertans. #ableg#cdnpoli

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.
Despite what UCP President Rob Smith told news outlets earlier this week, the party now says it is aligned with the premier’s stance on the referendum. #ableg#cdnpoli
NEW: Prime Minister @MarkJCarney says the Alberta referendum question does not fall under the Clarity Act, since it is a question on a question, and not a direct separation referendum. Says this is what he had expected but wanted to wait for the official legal advice
