Mayor Andrew Knack not holding back in his news release today: "Frankly, I’m not entirely convinced the Premier understands what she is doing and what the consequences will be. What the Premier is flirting with could cause tremendous chaos."

Hard to disagree. #yeg #ableg

Greer obviously does not understand Canada. On tariffs and elections he is dead wrong.

Timely* reminder of the Daylight Savings Time referendum result: 50.2 per cent of voters voted ‘no,’ while 49.8 per cent voted 'yes.'

Danielle Smith is ignoring that result. #ABPoli

“I would remind my conservative colleagues that it was in 2006, by a Conservative government, that put into place the PPSC specifically to protect prosecutorial decisions from political interference.” - Patricia Lattanzio (@PatriciaLattan3)

So, @AndrewLawton.

Are you just ignorant, or are you pulling another stunt to produce CPC rage-farming fundraising clips?

I’ve cast my ballots in Alberta’s referendum.

I voted NO on Questions 1 through 9, and on Question 10 I voted for Alberta to remain in Canada, and I’d like to explain why.

Taken individually, some of these questions may sound appealing but I don’t believe they should be looked at individually. Let’s look at all ten questions together.

This referendum deals with immigration, voting eligibility and the division of powers between Alberta and Ottawa. Question 10 goes further, asking whether Alberta should remain part of Canada or begin steps towards independence.

For years, the UCP promoted an Alberta Pension Plan, replacing the RCMP with an Alberta police force and creating a homegrown tax collection agency.

Considerable time and public money went into advancing those ideas, yet none appear on this ballot.

Instead, the UCP shifted the battleground.

Premier Smith says this referendum is intended to hear from Albertans, settle these issues and move on. I see a strong risk of the opposite.

If Questions 1 through 9 pass, the government can take those results to Ottawa claiming Albertans gave them a mandate to continue the constitutional fight.

So, what happens when Ottawa says no, or when other provinces refuse to support the changes being requested?

My concern is that every rejection becomes fuel for the next argument that Confederation doesn't work and it keeps the dream of separation alive, along with all of the economic uncertainty that comes with it.

This does not end on October 20th.

Alberta has legitimate grievances with Ottawa. I've never suggested otherwise. Federal policies have hurt investment and restricted our ability to get resources to market, and Alberta should fight hard when our interests are being damaged.

But there is a difference between fighting for Alberta within Canada and maintaining a state of permanent conflict with the rest of the country.

I'm an Albertan, a conservative and a Canadian and I do not see any contradiction between those three things.

I've made my decision and I respect the decision that others will make. Whatever your position on the individual questions, I encourage Albertans to look at the referendum as a whole and think about what our future might look like.

So, don't just think about what this means today - ask what the government intends to do with the answer tomorrow.

This book is 27 years old and just as relevant now as in 1999, because rape culture. It’s also been one of the most frequently banned books since it was published, because god forbid young people know they’re not alone and have a voice to speak out against sexual violence.

In case you doubted that, as far as the seppies are concerned, we're having a vote on independence. Of course, they want to convince you otherwise to boost their vote count with borrowed ballots.
