I am being asked if municipal election candidates can include collecting #ForeverCanadian signatures as part of their campaign.

Yes, why wouldn’t you? 90% of Albertans will appreciate it.

All candidates, MLAs, MPs and their teams can be signature collectors.

Opinion: Albertans will fight to keep their Canada Pension Plan If Alberta leaves the CPP, there’s no do-over.

"Albertans are right to be skeptical. This isn’t about securing your pension. It’s about politics. And when politicians start eyeing your retirement savings as a tool for leverage or ideology, it’s time to hit the brakes." #abpoli #ableg

Good. Trump is betting it all on fossil fuels as the global economy electrifies. Let @Enbridge and @TCEnergy invest (mostly foreign) capital in the USA.

Their loss, not ours.

Better to invest Canadian $$ on a national power grid than waste it on stranded hydrocarbon assets.

Smith will never admit that the she & the UCP have made investment in AB risky by fanning the flames of separatism.

She will NEVER admit mistakes. NEVER.

Zero accountability.

Our economy is in free fall b/c of the UCP.

It’s QC, all over again.

How and why were permits ever issued in the first place? Do they not vet people before issuing permits? All of this could have been avoided.

It's very fucking rich that a government who is doing literally nothing they promised to do & a thousand things they never platformed are talking about "do your job".

I know people are tired of living in the pandemicine and want to believe that covid is just a cold or stomach bug, but that doesn’t change the fact that covid is still actively killing and disabling people with heart, brain, lung, gut and other terrible permanent conditions.

Danielle Smith calls on feds to diversify economic markets after Trump announces increased tariff on Canada Alberta Premier Danielle Smith issued a statement on Friday morning responding to the increased tariffs announced by U.S. President Donald Trump on Canadian goods.

Danielle Smith once again shows how hypocritical she is.
No to renewable energy in Alberta but 100% Oil & Gas.
However Carney needs to diversify Canada’s economy.

Opinion: When ideology trumps evidence in health care, everyone pays Correcting course starts with transparency, evidence-based policy, and a willingness to adapt, even if it means letting go of ideology.

β€œPrivate facilities compete with public hospitals for the same health-care professionals. When doctors & nurses leave the public system for more flexible or better-paying roles in private clinics, public hospitals are left short-staffed.”

If you’re looking for a place to sign the #ForeverCanadian referendum petition, they’ll be at the Strathcona Farmers market tomorrow (Saturday) at 10 AM!

Sounds like @lukaszukab.bsky.social is looking for canvassers as well!

When Danielle Smith surveyed #Albertans about leaving #CPP:

63% voted to stay.

ONLY 10% voted to leave.

The UCP hid the results for 2 years until Alberta's Privacy Commissioner forced the disclosure.

@albertandp.ca will protect your #pension.

9- HCWs being intimidated and silenced

Can you imagine working in an environment this toxic?

Smith and Amery are attempting to intimidate Elections AB and the courts, so it’s not difficult to imagine what happens to others. This is what results from unchecked power and corruption. #ABleg #ABpoli

This report is another example of why Albertans continue to say no to coal mining in our Rocky Mountains.

Toxic selenium is contaminating rivers and pushing endangered fish to the brink.
