The premier has no mandate to move forward with petty and costly fights against Canada. Albertans want a government that will work with our Canadian neighbours to improve healthcare, strengthen education, and make life more affordable.

Albertans don't get to see the new commissions maps for a few days, but Nenshi made it clear today that the Gerrymandering is real. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Odds are strong that UCP will tilt election odds by stretching city ridings into rural Alberta. A new report, still supposed to be secret, shows at least three Calgary ridings are in play. Column. calgaryherald.com/opinion/co… #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #yyc #yeg

In Canada, we don’t allow rigged elections. But the UCP keeps breaking democratic norms by giving themselves the power to redraw Alberta's new election maps. It's a blatant attempt to cheat in the next election. We will always fight for fair elections.

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 much was the fix in on the gerrymandering report and making sure Albertans never know how it was made? Watch this clip. Danielle Smith sent her very best lapdogs to do exactly what she wanted. Wonder what treats they get now that they did their trick?

Nothing is more UCP than banning flags on classroom walls to keep ideologies out of classrooms while simultaneously spending an additional $25 million to expand exclusionary private religious schools. #abpoli #abed

What a wild, wild, wild, completely unpredictable unexpected totally normal not at all alarming coincidence... #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Oh, look! Is Abigail Schimke, the UCP’s Central Alberta Director, the same Abby Schimke who works in Administration at Lighthouse Christian Academy — the very school that was just awarded $4 million by the Government of Alberta? 🤔

More and more is coming to light in the CorruptCare scandal. We demand Danielle Smith call a public inquiry, NOW. This involves at least $614,000,000 of Albertans' money at a time many people are struggling to find a doctor and get timely surgeries. We all deserve transparency and accountability.

.@ABDanielleSmith, now that we’re all assured that UCP is not a separatist party and all UCP MLAs support unity, why not have a vote in the Legislature on question #10 as requested by #ForeverCanadian? As a federalist leader, you’d want to send such a powerful message of unity.
Bob Fife on Danielle Smith telling separatists in the UCP to find another home: "Why didn't she say that at the beginning? This is somebody who has fed them, nurtured them and accommodated them, and now they're coming for her."

Hey Alberta: is this incompetence or a full on intentional lie? 9003 Acute Care Spaces is NOWHERE near a record number for our prov In the late 1980s we had 17,790 acute care spaces in hospitals (~12,000 acute care beds, +LTC beds) 1988: 7.4 beds/1000 2026: 1.5 beds/1000 1/2

More government transparency from the UCP… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Nathan Cooper, Alberta's man in Washington, spent $56,321.31 on hospitality on September 30, 2026. What did he spend it on? We don't know. The UCP changed disclosure rules. All we can do if hope it was worth it. #ableg Source: alberta.ca/sole-source-contr…

.@ABDanielleSmith gets caught lying again and Elections Alberta calls her out on it. #ableg #cdnpoli
CTV News is fact-checking Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's claims that Thomas Lukaszuk forced her hand in putting the question of separation on the ballot. Spoiler alert: nuh uh, Smith. #Alberta #AbLeg youtu.be/Z3iHDLbu1hU?si=F4fF…

Danielle Smith will do and say anything to preserve her job and retain power. Truth and integrity are as foreign to her as loyalty. Danielle knows that #ForeverCanadian 500,000 petition signatories didn’t want a referendum and all questions on it were designed by her. #ableg
Danielle Smith throws Forever Canada under the bus, blaming them for the referendum: "If somebody doesn't want to put a vote forward, then they shouldn't start a petition campaign. If they're going to do that, then they have to understand that there are consequences to it."

This might be the funniest commercial I've seen in a very long time. Its for the jewelry section of JC Penny's and it is priceless. They really sunk some money into it. I guess they do good sales there. I know that im buying my very special lady's ring at a better known jewelry store than JC's 🤣🤣🤣💍

So, the premier blew $200M of our money on her separatist friends & a propaganda-driven push poll... Now she's blowing more tax dollars on a paid TV address so she doesn't have to answer to any pesky reporters. Danielle Smith: Picking fights & wasting money. #ableg #cdnpoli
Albertans picked up a pencil yesterday and answered ten hard questions about our future. That is democracy at its finest and tonight we talk about what comes next. Join me live on CTV, Global, CityNews, Facebook, X or YouTube at 6:45pm— as we go through the referendum results, what they mean for this province, and what comes next.
