We got our first peak into what the ridings could be for next Alberta election today. NDP says hybrid ridings in Calgary and Lethbridge are on the way, tipping scales in UCP way.
Smith didnโt address the NDPโs criticisms, but admonished them for speaking on it before Monday.๐๐๐ป

Well, an admission here from the premier's chief of staff that redrawing the electoral map is, at least partially, to "level the playing field" with the NDP seems notable.
Total garbage. @DonBraid is literally just regurgitating exactly what is NDP buddies are telling him. Would be nice if he represented both sides of an issue for once.
One of the most respected court of appeal justices in Alberta history is chairing the boundary committee. Itโs a lie to say that itโs the UCP. The maps arenโt even available yet (though clearly leaked to the NDP by someone).
In addition, Judge Miller and half the NDP caucus complained that there should be 2 additional seats added to account for population growth. So that was done and left to the independent judge-led committee to figure out how to do it. I assume they have done so.
Further, last election the NDP lost the popular vote by almost 10 percent and still almost ended up winning the most seats. So obviously they donโt want any change whatsoever that could level the playing field.
How do you explain that Don? Did the NDP gerrymander the map last go around under Notley? Was the 2023 election undemocratic too?
The UCP isnโt making that claim because itโs disrespectful of the people - including the judge - who did the hard work of determining those past boundaries.
Your bias is so clear Don. Itโs disturbing.

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!

How scared is Danielle Smith of the separatists?
She is requiring them to sign a loyalty out that they can't speak about separatism anymore!
But...
In claiming that she'll require them to follow the code of conduct or else...
She's violating the code of conduct.

.@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.
SCOOP: The RCMP is investigating fraud, breach of trust, and money laundering in connection with Alberta's health care procurement controversy, according to a letter filed in court

On CBC, Smith stopped short of saying that she will disqualify separatist candidates or refuse to sign their applications...
But she made it clear that no separatists will be welcome in leadership or official roles and a pledge must be signed.
The Purge apparently, has begun.

EVERYBODY STOP TALKING ABOUT THE REFERENDUM. LOOK OVER HERE!!!
Starting January 4, every school in Alberta will proudly fly both the Canadian and Alberta flags, and any other flags will only be temporarily displayed when they serve a clear educational, commemorative or community purpose.
Letโs teach our children to celebrate our amazing country and province.

I will die on this hill: The government is not the boss of reporters.
The "question limit" is a COVID hangover. If politicians don't want reporters repeating questions after the "limit" they imposed to avoid pushback, they should answer them the first time.
Chris Berthelot ๐จ๐ฆ retweeted
It wasn't a choice. Rebel News was first in line at the mic.
The choice is making reporters line up at a physical mic stand - in a room that is already mic'd up - and limiting to 2 questions, rather than fielding questions scrum-style, like politicians did prior to COVID.

"An arsonist wanting credit for putting out the fire"-@LukaszukAB says Smith deserves "zero" credit for the referendum results.
He slams her for dividing Albertans & wasting taxpayer money on a question that shouldโve been settled in the legislature.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said candidates, MLAs, prov and local board reps and candidates, must be on board with federalism.
But Smith, when pressed, wouldn't say whether she would disqualify people or kick them out.

NEWS: Alberta's premier says if UCP members can't get on board with the party being pro-Canada, they should jump ship and find a new one.
I hope every UCP member and supporter will watch this video.
The referendum is behind us. Albertans gave their answers and our party must honour that mandate.
What comes next is the only fight that matters, and it is twelve months away.
Naheed Nenshi's NDP have told us exactly what they will do with power:
๐ Reopen the drug consumption sites we closed
๐ Let minors undergo irreversible gender surgeries without their parents' knowledge.
๐ Shut down school choice.
๐ Bring back the production cap and the net zero regulations to phase out our energy sector.
๐ Open border immigration.
๐ A carbon tax.
๐ And Avi Lewis in Ottawa pulling Nenshiโs strings.
United, our party will win. Divided the NDP wins and all Albertas would suffer as a result.
The time for division is over.
The time to unite and fight for a stronger Alberta and Canada is now.
There's a new version of this post
