The UCP’s gerrymandering may backfire. New “rurban” ridings could anger separatists by diluting their support near Calgary and Lethbridge. Worse, redrawing the map means electing entirely new constituency boards, just as separatists threaten to take over the party from within.

BREAKING!!!
At Nenshi's presser on the UCP's Gerrymandering, it came out that the Ethics Commissioner has had to suspend his investigation into ministers accepting elite hockey tickets...
Because it overlaps with a CRIMINAL investigation!

Danielle Smith needs to cheat to beat the NDP in Lethbridge.
Time to go to court.
Jesus Christ - watching the Alberta Leg committee on the boundaries change, @nenshi confirmed the UCP is going to split Lethbridge up (likely the four way split we saw in the minority maps) and the Calgary rural-urban split seats.
Shameful @ABDanielleSmith, dirty cheater. #ableg

I was hired, and earned promotions as public servant under both conservative and progressive provincial governments.
I worked alongside diverse, incredibly talented public servants whom I have huge respect for. I also hired,
managed, and promoted public servants.
Our public institutions run on meritocracy. People are in their roles through merit and competency.
Assuming otherwise is an insult to those who have served and retired and those who are doing incredible work.

Once again for the cheap seats…
This is all because Athana Mentzelopolous stepped up and did what was right.
Her lawsuit has pulled back the curtains in ways that never would have otherwise been possible.

One year ago today, Danielle Smith and the UCP stripped 51,000 teachers of their fundamental human rights.
We’ve heard that the problems they were fighting to fix — underfunding, overcrowding and a lack of support for complexity — have not improved.
The Alberta NDP stands with every educator, parent and student in this province who’s demanding better education.

.@CarrieTait thank you for your investigative journalism. Democracy works best when journalists can shine the light on what matters.
Money laundering investigation of high ranking, Alberta government officials. This could be unprecedented.

Question for media, reporters, journalists, TV anchors:
When Danielle Smith actually claims that students, children, are being groomed and transitioned during their class day…why are you not responding with facts?
Why are you letting her spew these conspiracy theories?
Dr. Lola Jean Stewart retweeted
IT"S OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL!
With 100% of the votes counted, 3 things are pretty clear!
#1 - The overwhleming majority of Albertans are proud Canadians!
#2 - Albertans are a lot less Xenophobic than Smith banked on
#3 - Albertans know Smith needs federal oversight.

Smith insisting the law forced her to put this separation q on the ballot.
No. The law required govt to consider the proposed question.
And Smith lowered the signature threshold to 177k from 600k.
The secessionist option garnered 496,890 votes w 94% of polls reporting.
Dr. Lola Jean Stewart retweeted
The separatists option got fewer votes than the number of signatures that would have been required to get the question on the ballot had Danielle Smith not changed the law to lower the threshold. In other words, Smith is to blame for putting us through this despicable exercise.
Dr. Lola Jean Stewart retweeted
It’s important to note that Smith could have kicked the separatists out of her party at any point over the past three years. The fact that she’s only doing it now — when they’re organizing to oust her — shows that’s she’s more concerned about herself than the province.

I know I write about the royals, but this from Aberfan today just broke me.
It’s from Diane Thomas, 78, a rescuer from the Red Cross who was only 18 at the time of the disaster, and spoke to Prince William.
She said: ‘The chapel had been converted into a mortuary so I spent three nights in the mortuary, bathing the children, to try and get slurry off their little faces so their parents could recognise them.
‘I took the anorak off one little boy, put my hand in his pocket and came out [with a note that] he’d had eight out of 10 for spelling. I’ve been trying all these years to think about how I can trace his mum. I can’t but I want to tell her because I was the last person to hold him and bathe him.’
This is why today is so important.

I couldn't talk about the referendum because I got hired to supervise our local poll and then count. After working 17 hours Monday what I can say is many Albertans worked extremely hard for long hours without enough resources, and the fact we got it done is incredible in itself.
