@TheBreakdownAB If remaining is a UCP position, then they should put the whip behind their words and enforce it. However it’s clear that if they did that there’d be a new party in the legislature.

@TheBreakdownAB I wonder who the connection is to the external agency and, relatedly, why didn’t the department of Technology and Innovation do it in house? I assumed that gov websites were solidly in their wheelhouse.

Oggi è l'anniversario della morte di mia nonna. Ventisette anni fa, ed i pensieri e le memorie rimangono. Ti vogliamo bene, per sempre.

Is it still private industry backing when TMX is Government of Canada owned? I’d not think so. So much for conservative faith in the free market.

@nic_lucc Congratulations, and well done!

Naheed Nenshi on Danielle Smith: "The separatists are the ones who got her elected. We always knew that there would be a quid pro quo. We always knew that she owed them something and what they she owes them is a referendum question."

@TheBreakdownAB It's so hard to determine – in this scenario – whether the whole of the UCP is leopards, or the Separatraitors are the leopard, OR are there just several different variants of leopards all interested in faces and cannibalising them.

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.

You HAVE to watch this clip!!!!

The UCP released a statement on the referendum committee before the committee was even done!

Seriously, watch this clip!

This is the UCP's "democracy" in action.

This is beyond the pale!

Wow! While the committee is still deliberating on the #ForeverCanadian petition, government just issued a press release that the committee has already made a decision and recommended a referendum on separatism.

Wow! Decision announced before it was made. A gong show?

Albertans - Ok, so the province was doxxed, everyone is expecting Smith to announce a separation referendum question on Thursday and wildfire season is coming, that about it?

Measles - Don't forget about me!
