Politicians are rarely charged. Smith was found guilty of ethics violations in 2023, with no consequences.

Framing Ottawa: Alberta's Deflection Strategy Behind the constitutional grievance is a deficit, a debt load, and a governing party with a base problem.

Alberta's deficit is $6.5B and climbing. The renewable moratorium killed 53 projects.

The official explanation? Blame Ottawa.

No confirmed updates or finish dates exist for the RCMP investigation from March 6, 2025, allegations into Smith for political interference and conflicts of interest. Might hear something potentially post-October 2026 referendum.

I've done some research into Ontario's health care system and found similarities. It seems to be a Conservative pattern. It deserves more focus and attention.

We wrote a substack post on it. Information has to reach more people. Change doesn't happen without action, and action starts with reaching as many people as possible.

Keep asking her for the details. It's a legit question, and she will never answer it but it sure messes her narrative up.

It was a really good speech. =)

The current system may not be fully insulated from politics, but replacing it with overt political bargaining between governments only entrenches partisanship further. The issue is not which party gains influence, but how to meaningfully limit political control over judicial appointments altogether.

The Alberta Separatist Files: What If Alberta Votes Yes? The referendum would be the turning point — but not the final word.

Some frame the referendum as the finish line. It’s not.

Here’s what would actually happen next.

She's still auditioning for the US Real Housewives. She's trying to look less like a Canadian and more like a blow up doll.

Why try when MAGA supporters don't pick leaders based on effort. Danielle Smith is getting Botox and fillers, Pierre is hanging out with his expensive personal trainers, and Jamil is kissing US butt. That's what works for MAGA supporters. They want the show, nothing else.

The tragedy in Tumbler Ridge has left families, friends, and an entire community carrying an unimaginable loss.

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately the UCP don't listen and will probably twist this into a win to further their privatization agenda. Another tragic loss for teachers and Alberta education.

Justice is taking on the opposite meaning in the USA.

Pierre has no substance. His platform is emotional manipulation. Anger, blame, repeat.

Looks and feels like Northern Ontario. Beautiful!

Power Over Justice: What Alberta’s Court and Policing Changes Mean for Albertans The methods are documented. The outcomes are proven. Smith is applying the same methods that cause years of delays and more than double the costs.

Pressure appointments.
Control funding.
Centralize policing.

Alberta just checked all three boxes.

lol! you mean Kristi Noem and the MAGA podcasters?

She always says she's "listening to the people" which "people" are saying they want government controlled courts and government controlled police?

The ACLRC defunding and related funding‑control moves pose a tangible threat to the independence, pluralism, and preventive capacity of Alberta’s justice system, with likely knock‑on effects on access to justice and the protection of civil liberties province‑wide.

The strategy could support higher EV adoption, but there is no data yet to confirm it will meet the stated targets. That determination can only be made once uptake, supply, and infrastructure data are available over the next 12–24 months.
