"The reason to extend love, is everyone wants to feel heard" ... "instead of reacting with anger and contempt, to try and understand where they're coming from" ... "she doesn't tell them they're stupid, she doesn't tell them they're ignorant, she doesn't tell them they're racist"
Leadership guru @SimonSinek cites @Deeyah_Khan's approach in ‘White Right: Meeting the Enemy’ to illustrate the power of showing love to people you disagree with and making them feel heard.

20% threshold is for a "constitutional referendum", which proposes changes to the Constitution of Canada. There was no such proposal in the referendum question that the FC petition asked for, which was: Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?

Neil deGrasse Tyson called it a delusion in 2015 that SpaceX would lead the space frontier. Today SpaceX is flying three missions in 13 hours, including a crewed ISS flight, while handling nearly half of all global launches with reusable rockets and Starlink. The data has spoken.

Falcon 9 with 29 V2 Minis (~96 Gbps each) totals ~2.8 Tbps. Starship with 60 V3s (1 Tbps each) totals 60 Tbps. The Starship payload delivers ~57 Tbps more bandwidth.

Property taxes and income taxes go into pools of revenue that can be used for infrastructure. If they draw from the grid, they also pay the fees associated with using that amount of power to support infrastructure. Once they generate, gas royalties can go to infrastructure.

There will be property taxes, the $60M they are contributing to road and water infrastructure, natural gas royalties, income taxes, transmission fees, Computing Hardware Levy, etc.

How are Canadians subsidizing the data centre more than any other business? How is Meta not paying for their fair share of electricity and infrastructure?

Charter schools are public schools and have been for over 30 years. Alberta students are some of the most knowledgeable in the country and in the world:

A divisional school is the most common type of school run by school boards (what most people think of as a "public school"). Students are "divided" by geography, religion, and/or native language and are assigned to a default board (not school). A student may choose another board.

There are actually 6 types of public schools: divisional, alternative program, separate, divisional Francophone, separate Francophone, and charter. All public, all funded.
