I am born and raised in Alberta, and live there now.
I'll be voting against any form of separation.
From now until the vote in October, I will use my online reach to campaign against the separatists and ensure this discussion of separation ends for good in 2026.

STATEMENT ON PROVINCIAL ADDRESS

The Premier of Alberta intervened to lower the threshold for getting a separatist question on the ballot. She then intervened to eliminate a review requiring the question be constitutional. She intervenes again tonight after yet another court has told the separatists to slow down and follow the law.

The premier can wrap these actions in the words of democracy, but she is willfully ignoring the will of the vast majority of Albertans who want no part of this separatist conversation.

The simple reality, a reality you would not find in her speech, is this: she has pushed along a question because a group has threatened to bring down her and her party if she does not.

Her internal political problems have become our national crisis.

The Premier asserts her patriotism. I will take her at her word, but I will remind her a patriot puts country ahead of party. A leader steers the agenda, rather than having it blindly dictated to them. An Albertan finds ways to do what’s right, not justifications for doing what’s wrong.

This baffling, referendum-on-a-referendum question will do nothing to settle anything. It adds another layer of confusion. It will divide. It will distract. It will damage.

I hope her government will consider how to step back from this madness before the damage to our province’s social fabric and economy is too great.

Here’s what may be an unpopular opinion, something @SPhillipsAB said recently that has stuck with me.

We can spend months chasing recall petitions that require 40% of eligible voters in a riding to sign and support, followed by a vote requiring majority, leading to a by-election.

Or we could instead focus that energy and utilize those resources for what will actually change this province, winning in 2027 and electing a government that will focus on building a strong and vibrant Alberta where everyone is able to thrive.

✅ Join your Constituency Association.

✅ Buy a membership to a party that aligns with your values.

✅ Volunteer, show up, knock doors, make calls.

✅ Give your time, your skills, your voice.

✅ Donate, it takes money to win, and every dollar counts.

The most powerful thing we can do right now is organize, and refuse to give up on this province.

[Peter Guthrie @PeterGuthrie99]

On November 7th, the UCP launched a lawsuit against me, MLA Sinclair, and the Alberta Party.

Albertans deserve to hear what this case is - and what it isn’t.
Because it isn’t about trademarks or party names.
And it isn’t about justice.

This is about intimidation - and it fits a pattern.

The UCP use threats to silence anyone who challenges them.

They claim I was removed from caucus due to misconduct.
The truth is: I raised concerns about potential corruption and pushed for transparency.

I wasn’t removed for misconduct - I was removed because I refused to participate in it.

The lawsuit itself is littered with errors.
One especially odd claim is the allegation of a “conspiracy.”
And the irony is hard to miss: a party known for chasing conspiracies is now trying to convince Albertans that everyone else is part of one.

This government has a credibility problem - and it shows when they use baseless accusations to distract from their failures.

Their trademark argument is weak.
More importantly, the UCP let the PC name lapse - and in 2023 a private citizen legally registered it.

If anyone “lost” the name, it was the UCP - through their own negligence.

But they never accept responsibility.
They blame anyone but themselves.

This lawsuit is about fear - fear of competition and fear of a conservative movement they can’t control.

But sunlight is coming.
We welcome evidence, documents, and cross-examination - and the Premier finally answering questions under oath.

Accountability can only be avoided for so long - and this time, it will be on the record.

A recount in Edmonton’s Ward sipiwiyiniwak has produced a whopping 600 vote swing, resulting in a Thu Parmar victory. SIX HUNDRED votes.

Somebody explain to me how hand-counting ballots is supposed to instill confidence… #yeg #abpoli

Utter contempt and disrespect from Bruce McAllister.

Cutting off the kid's mic and limiting his freedom of expression is one thing, but saying he should be spanked is a fireable offense from a supposedly neutral moderator. Bruce needs to be removed immediately.

[Margaret E Atwood @MargaretAtwood]

Here's a piece of literature by me, suitable for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools, unlike -- we are told -- The Handmaid's Tale. (Sorry, kids; your Minister of Education thinks you are stupid babies.)

John and Mary were both very, very good children. They never picked their noses or had bowel movements or zits. They grew up and married each other, and produced five perfect children without ever having sex. Although they claimed to be Christian, they paid no attention to what Jesus actually said about the poor and the Good Samaritan and forgiving your enemies and such; instead, they practised selfish rapacious capitalism, because they worshipped Ayn Rand. (Though they ignored the scene in The Fountainhead where “welcomed rape” is advocated, because who wants to dwell, and also that would have involved sex and would de facto be pornographic. Well, it kind of is, eh?) Oh, and they never died, because who wants to dwell on, you know, death and corpses and yuk? So they lived happily ever after. But while they were doing that The Handmaid’s Tale came true and Danielle Smith found herself with a nice new blue dress but no job. The end.

Canada doesn't have a hateful anti-Christian bias.

We reject gay hating religious extremist cult MAGATS who support a rapist pedophile felon president. Like you, bud.

Canada is a secular country that protects the same vulnerable people you hate in the name of Jesus.

Have a fun Hymn tour, Hillbilly.

I find it interesting that people who have a beautiful house, lake lot, $85,000 truck, fifth wheel or trailer, speed boat, quad, and vacation to other countries every year, can justify saying

working at a polling station is cool because you get to see how many middle aged white guys do not understand our political system in the slightest and get loudly confused when the party leaders' names aren't on their ballot
