πŸ“ŒNOTE: Last week, Trump depicted Barack & Michelle Obama as apes.

It was grotesque racism in its rawest, ugliest, most vile form. It would have ended any other presidency.

Eight days later, it has all but been forgotten. That is sinful and enabling pure, unadulterated hate.

Don’t let this happen.

If I sign the petition, wlill my personal information be made public?

The Recall Act requires petition documents be made available for public inspection for one year from the time it is filed or submitted. This applies to notices of intent, applications, and CFO documentation. Residential address and contact information (phone or email) must be obscured from public inspection. Individuals who ask to view copies of citizen initiative documentation are required to sign a declaration stating the information viewed will not be used except as permitted under the Recall Act.

Important: This does NOT include petition signature sheets. Signature sheets will not be made available for viewing, publishing, copying, or made otherwise available to anyone. Only the petition proponent and their team and Elections Alberta staff may view the signature sheets for the purposes outlined in the Act. (Recall Act section 45(3)). This means no one else will be able to see the names, contact information, or signatures of anyone signing a petition.

Dear Canada:

The vast majority of us Albertans love this country. We won’t allow the separatists to tear it apart. We’re going through some things, but we’ll be okay. Please be patient.

Love,
Sane Albertans

Yeah, Danielle Smith isn't interested in democracy and her supporters either 1. lack basic understanding of liberal democracy or 2. don't care about democracy #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Therapy alone is not enough - there is a profound lack of critical thinking skills among the ones who want to leave.

Alberta justice minister uses powers from recently-passed law to veto $780K law foundation grant The grant makes up 99 percent of the Alberta Civil Liberties Research Centre’s 2026 funding

β€œIn this case, the government of Alberta has done what appears to be a politicization of the whole process and basically hijacked the organization and the millions and millions of dollars that it administers, which it has administered for decades to fund..

Immigration agents across the United States have committed serious human rights violations with impunity. These include extrajudicial killings, mass detentions, and forced deportations.

Here’s what you can do to take action:

I think many of us are guilty of thinking of government service systems (e.g. healthcare, CRA) only as a group of people and we don't give enough thought to all the flawed processes that make up the systems so I'm not sure how letting people go from systems with flawed processes saves us anything.

Take up something that you loved in childhood - an instrument you used to play, a hobby you loved, a sport you enjoyed, something that makes you feel like you.

Trump has made more trade deals happen than anyone on Earth. The only problem is that none of them include the USA.

What's with all the unnecessary commas? Is he trying to rip off Trump's writing style? And why can't we charge him for trying to sell us out to the Americans. He has no mandate from the people of Alberta to be having these conversations.

Alberta separatism isn’t about independence. It’s about becoming the 51’st state. Trump’s eyeing Alberta. Separatists are helping him.

Masked ICE militia can’t replace the Mounties.

Trump:

"NATO has treated the United States very badly. We've never asked for anything. We've never got anything."

Tell that to the families of 850 soldiers from 19 non-US NATO countries who died fighting to defend the United States in Afghanistan - the only occasion Article 5 was ever triggered.
