I will admit I was WRONG...
I posted that we'd be wasting 50M on this Referendum ($ that could have been spent on HC)
The bots and h8ters immediately jumped on me saying it would be nowhere near that...
but I'll admit I was wrong...

FUN FACT:
Under Smith - Alberta was forced to borrow $20.9B this year!
Credit risk goes up 0.25% = Albertans owe $522,000,000 more!
Every year!
Danielle Smith is handing that bill to EVERY Albertan to keep her separatist fringe pals happy
You didn’t vote for this
"This referendum will cost Alberta taxpayers anywhere between 50 and 100 million in dollars in cash, and I'd rather have that in hospitals and schools myself."
Naheed Nenshi asked about the referendum question itself, adding he hopes for a resounding vote against separatism.
Politics was never supposed to feel this exhausting
There’s a difference between governing for headlines… and governing well.
Most people don’t wake up every morning wanting more political conflict, controversy, or outrage.
They want stability.
Competence.
Predictability.
People want institutions that function properly, decisions that are thoughtful, and governments focused on solving problems - not dominating every conversation.
Over time, when politics becomes driven by conflict, short-term thinking, and constant attention-seeking, it starts to erode public trust and confidence.
That matters for families, communities, investment, and Alberta’s future.
I believe good government should lower the temperature, respect independent institutions, and focus on long-term stability instead of permanent political campaigning.
That’s the kind of leadership I believe Alberta deserves.
Take a listen.

Boom! John Ibbitson "Well, they are an angry people and they have every reason to be angry."
"From the time the provinces were founded, when Albertans, Saskatchewan, were not given the natural resources powers that other provinces had, to the latest regulation from Ottawa limiting the development of the oil sands for environmental or other reasons, Albertans have been put upon by a central Canadian elite, looks at them as something of a colony."
"And the result of that indifference and condescension from central Canada is this referendum on a referendum. We're responsible for that here in the center." @JohnIbbitson

3:40 AM.
I turn to my phone on the nightstand and confirm the time. I already know I’m not going back to sleep.
Not after another reckless act from a Premier who, by every measurable standard, appears completely off the rails.
So Danielle Smith can take comfort in one thing: she got through to us. Loud and clear.
Albertans understand now that something is deeply wrong.
Whether she is compromised by foreign interests, political extremists inside her own party, or simply by the pursuit of power itself almost no longer matters. The result is the same: a government willing to risk Alberta, risk Canada, and risk social stability to preserve political control.
And the hardest part is this: it feels abusive.
The endless pushing.
The endless escalation.
The endless chaos.
Albertans are exhausted.
We don’t need months of anxiety hanging over our heads because of some reckless October 19 referendum fantasy.
We do not need our province turned into a political powder keg while healthcare deteriorates, education suffers, corruption allegations pile up, and long-term economic planning is nowhere to be found.
This is not leadership.
Leadership lowers temperatures.
Leadership negotiates.
Leadership builds confidence.
Leadership protects institutions.
Instead, we see attacks on courts, attacks on vulnerable communities, attacks on public trust, and constant deflection from accountability.
And for what?
To distract from failures in governance?
To avoid scrutiny over corruption scandals?
To feed a movement built on grievance, anger, and permanent outrage?
I’m tired of short-term politics masquerading as vision.
I want a government thinking 25 and 50 years ahead.
I want honest stewardship of Alberta’s future.
I want competence, professionalism, and stability.
Most Albertans are not looking for revolution.
We are looking for adults in the room.
I’m a patriot. I will vote to stay.
And I believe millions of Canadians will stand with those of us who want no part of reckless separatist agendas or imported political extremism.
This province deserves better than permanent chaos.
It deserves leadership.
Someone just sent me a photo of this gentleman in Westlock.
Apparently, he’s been in front of his residence all day, holding this sign.
Seeing such spontaneous show of love for Canada fills me with joy, but he shouldn’t have to do this. He should be able to rest, not worrying.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Alberta have served Canada for over a century.
Many gave their lives for their country.
They fought for Canada. Let's fight against separation.
Vote for Alberta to remain a province of Canada on Oct. 19, 2026.
Catriona Le May Doan is a record-breaking, two-time Olympic gold medalist, a world record holder, and one of the most decorated speed skaters in our country’s history.
She’s a proud Albertan and a proud Canadian.
And she’s standing up to fight for our home. 🇨🇦

The first patient one of my colleagues saw on their shift had waited 20 HOURS to be seen!
This was at the same time the AHS posted website stated <5hr wait times.
