american complacency and laziness may legitimately get the rest of us killed
The corrupt, authoritarian premier continues to lie about and misrepresent her own law to avoid listening to the will of Albertans. This woman is a fascist with noting but contempt for democracy. She has lied and spread coal industry propaganda at every stage of this. Pitchforks it is.
We really ought to be calling this what it is, the UCP Election Rigging & Democracy Curtailment panel. This is a legislative coup from an increasingly fascist government. And yes, fascist is the right word. If it walks like a duck etcβ¦
There have been 3 major citizen petitions in Alberta this year. Two of them followed the rules & got the required verified signatures. One stole 3M peopleβs identities, posed an illegal question, and did not get the verified signatures.
Guess which one is getting a referendum question? #ableg
It's hard to accept Premier Smith's call on chiefs to "check themselves" for asking for an RCMP investigation into treason...
...when her most trusted advisors admit that their plan is "treasonous" and "illegal."
Her own team has introduced those words into the discussion.
βThe Assembly of Treaty Chiefs (AOTC) of Treaty No. 6, Treaty No. 7, and Treaty No. 8 has unanimously passed a resolution calling for an investigation by the RCMP & Auditor General into the actions of Premier Danielle Smith & members of the UCP to determine whether they constitute treasonβ
"(We) deserve consistency, honesty and fair treatment around these petition and direct democracy issues that the Premier has professed to believe in so strongly, so many times."
Corb Lund calls on Premier to put his question on the referendum ballot, saying she's done so for other questions.
"If she messes with the question, we're gonna be on the streets with pitchforks."
As Corb Lund says his anti-coal petition has hit its signature goal, he's asking Premier Smith to stick to her word on a coal referendum- argues coal CEOs aren't telling the truth

A UCP appointees to the weird Round 2 riding boundary panel lobbied the actual boundary commission to impose a hyper-ruralized seat map for Calgary with more hybrid ridings than the widely criticized minority report.

Legitimately impressed in our collectively rationalize away the fact that the president is insane. We experiencing a level of mass delusion most societies could only dream of.
Today, Smith announced that she is not going to allow Albertans to vote on the Water not Coal petition for literally YEARS.
How do we know?
Let's start with the clip from "Your Province, Your Premier" where she states she'll follow the process in the act...

Itβs not nothing but itβs close to nothing. The one-time $100 rebate from the Alberta government leaves me wondering when was the last time any cabinet minister actually went grocery shopping or looked at their utility bills.

BREAKING!
Smith confirmed that the "Water Not Coal" Petition will not be on the October ballot.
Confusingly, she said it could happen as early as Oct 2027, which would be a violation of the Citizen Initiative Act.
So why not just pull the trigger now?

Trump: "The problem is it could be the greatest deal in history. They could wave the white flag of surrender and say 'Praise be to Allah' and the fake news would say, 'It was a great victory for Iran.' It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. We're killing them. We're killing them."
