Gambling ads are more than annoying - they are dangerous. I’ll bet (see what I did there?) you know someone who has learned the hard way. Let your MP know you support a ban on gambling ads through this website.

He says worrisome, I say criminal.
Last year, Alberta had its deadliest respiratory virus season. We also had the lowest vaccination coverage. And the worst health system pressures outside COVID-19.
That is your government's public health record. Barriers to vaccination led to the worst flu season. Better rollout, no barriers.
The fact that your statement doesn’t mention vaccines or vaccination as part of your tools is worrisome.
Could somebody let the Calgary Herald know?

For today, a reminder to check you mail in ballot status & make sure it has been received. Click the link in your Elections Alberta confirmation email when you requested the package.
If it has gone missing (mine did) you CAN STILL GO AND VOTE AT YOUR POLLING LOCATION. #ableg
Suggestion for those who did a MAIL IN BALLOT. Follow up & make sure it has been received. You can do this by going to the original confirmation email you received from @ElectionsAB & click the link. Mine seems lost in the mail. I'm going to early polls tomorrow #ableg
As the UCP government lays siege to our democracy and public institutions — it is up to each of us to take action. As Dr. Meddings suggests, this would be a good one.
I agree with and appreciate everything Jen says, save one thing. She says “Let’s take the opportunity to chalk this whole episode up to an embarrassing error of the Premier’s judgement that we never speak about in polite company.” I speak about it in ALL company.
Anyway, if you want to know why Jeff Rath is so pissed with me he fired up Grok, it's because I pointed out why the vote-to-leave-for-leverage argument is so dumb and dangerous. readtheline.ca/p/jen-gerson-…
A subscription to the Globe and Mail is worth every penny. Carrie Tait does everything Post Media won’t.

Some pastoral thoughts on the referendum questions about immigrants. If you don’t have time to read them all, here’s the summary. Vote no to the divisive immigrant questions, but don’t let differences in support among friends and family create yet more divisions.
Makes gerrymandering easier, no?
UCP voters’ list change shows ‘fundamental misunderstanding’ of scrutineers’ role in democracy, former elections official says. albertapolitics.ca/2026/09/u… #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli
It’s making her weep, so perhaps she will cancel it. 🤣
#cancelthereferendum. Make this trend to get @ABDanielleSmith attention. Not that she’ll listen.
In 2025, the UCP changed the law, allowing the government an unrestricted, multi-million-dollar taxpayer-funded campaign specifically urging Albertans to vote "Yes" on the first nine questions. Those opposing have a $607,000 cap. Fairness in democracy, UCP style.
One way to measure increased times for reporting purposes for those with regularly reoccurring tests — keep track of any increases in wait times for your tests before and after July 31.
Dr. Wesley has views consistent with the goals of him Common Ground project. Nothing hysterical, nothing judgemental. Always worth a read to help make an informed referendum choice.
Alberta government in 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣: we want to double our population with folks from Africa, India, and China (below, from @albertaviews ).
Alberta government in 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣: these immigrants are to blame for our all of our failures and they should go home.
Vote No to the Nine.
Created by an all-star group, this website is a must read before voting in the referendum. beforevoting.ca

Liar. Liar. Forever Canada chose the legislative option. Vote in the Leg. Also, the question is purely yours. Not even the seppies wanted it. Own this yourself. This is your doing. Trying to save yourself politically. Traitor.
