On the topic of Alberta separatism, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says her province will turn to the court for clarity on what the duty to consult means.

After her remarks, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew gave her his definition.

"It is often advanced that vote for this and you will strengthen our hand in future negotiations, and that's a very dangerous bluff."

Mark Carney likens Alberta's sovereignty referendum to Brexit, saying voters run the risk of being left with a bad hand they didn't mean to vote for.

Democracy is not an enemy. Our democracy requires our elected officials tell us what they actually believe and what they plan to do in office before putting those beliefs into action.

Our democracy demands separatists generate real democratic legitimacy to hold a secession referendum.

Democracy demands a separatist party declare itself as such before it is elected to power.

Democracy demands that an explicitly separatist party defend itself in debate during a writ period; to be honest with the voters about the benefits and risks of holding a secession referendum.

Democracy demands that a separatist party win power in the legislature in a free and fair election prior to holding a referendum.

Albertans deserve this. Anything short of it isn't "democracy." It's an abuse of democracy by process. It's a betrayal of the trust of the voters of the highest order.

Reducing your community’s weight in Parliament to own the Libs 🤔

Pro tip: the Prime Minister will never see your note. Canada has been conducting a census since 1867 regardless of the party in office. Every country on Earth does a census.

By boycotting the Census, you’re not striking a blow for freedom or privacy. You’re reducing the population weight of your area when Parliamentary seats are allocated.

Not smart.

Women face a 75% increased risk of domestic violence when attempting to separate from their partners, per @EndingViolence.

Across the the world, the greatest threat to any woman's safety is her partner — by an astonishing margin.

May it not be overlooked in today's reporting.
