that's not what the referendum question read, although the Premier's office somehow thinks it was to elect judges. and: it failed.
It was pleasure to join Canada Strong and Free Network to discuss our country’s judicial system. Canada’s activist judges need to depoliticize themselves or else be held accountable to the standard an elected official is. @canstrongfree

What does Shane Getson know about fraud, money laundering and breach of trust that he up and quit his job a year early?

Money laundering. Fraud. Breach of trust. Corrupt Care.

such transparency. such openness from this government. not even a news release from their caucus.
Alberta UCP MLA Shane Getson has officially resigned his seat. (Much speculation about who it was that resigned, and Getson was high — but not too high — on my list.)

👀 weird that government has made no announcements.
Replying to @louarab2026
Maybe it's a coincidence, but Shane Getson will be removed from all legislative committees, according to tomorrow's Order Paper. Perhaps he'll be promoted to minister of something something

Last week, they were releasing plans for their new country. Today, they fired their leaders and have lost control of their social media.

Danielle Smith's flag regulations as announced today would require the school in her constituency to remove the flags she cited as a reason for more review of the regulations. /1 #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

after watching all of this unfold, having trouble figuring out who the BC Conservative insiders hate more: Muslims or Jews?

I’m saddened to see an Edmonton institution like BioWare closing its doors. BioWare was founded in Edmonton in 1995 and became internationally famous for games including Baldur's Gate, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Dragon Age, and Mass Effect. Our thoughts are especially with the employees who have lost their jobs and the families affected by this closure.

The UCP’s new flag ban rules are out and they’re really messed up. Indigenous flags = 14 days max Pride flag = not allowed Sports teams = always allowed We’re hearing teachers have plans…but wow, we need an inclusive gov’t in Alberta. #ableg #cdnpoli

Albertans are dying because they can't get timely care in emergency rooms. And how has Danielle Smith responded? She's done nothing but waste all of our time and $200 million on a separation referendum we all knew would fail. Albertans deserve a government that will make life better for them. cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/…

UPDATE: In a APP Zoom meeting, Mitch Sylvestre says Tanya Clemens and Chris Scott are not board members and don't have authority to dismiss anyone. "The fact that they're saying that they dismissed anybody from the APS board, they had no authority to do it. They cannot do it, and I'm really concerned with the timing of that." #abpoli #cdnpoli
The Alberta Prosperity Project says it fired Jeff Rath and Mitch Sylvestre, removed both from its board, then deliberately kept the whole thing quiet until after the referendum because it didn’t want to distract from the vote. Most failed states wait until after independence to start falling apart. #abpoli #cdnpoli

Fighting those who buy ink by the barrel is a great look for a UCP press secretary
Umm, no @CarrieTait one question one follow-up has been the rule for a long time. All other reporters follow these rules. Why do you think you're the exception? Frankly, your conduct is more disrespectful to your fellow reporters in line to ask questions than anything else.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The "one question one follow-up" format for Alberta government press events became the norm during COVID-era virtual conferences controlled by officials. Pre-COVID, reporters used open scrums allowing more flexible follow-ups without such imposed limits. albertaviews.ca/missing-answer… edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/… cbc.ca/news/canada/ca… edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/…

“I do actually believe as premier I should follow the law.” Indeed. And bookmarked. 😉
Danielle Smith throws Forever Canada under the bus, blaming them for the referendum: "If somebody doesn't want to put a vote forward, then they shouldn't start a petition campaign. If they're going to do that, then they have to understand that there are consequences to it."
