Question: When will the UCP ever stop fiddling about with their citizen initiative legislation?
Answer: only when they're booted out of office.

#DanielleSmith and the #UCP government of #Alberta is looking to make changes to legislation around #elections and citizen-led petitions, including when referendums can take place. 🇨🇦 #Cdnpoli #ABpoli

Here's the text:
Smith will try and spin this (since it only refers to AB) as an amendment that only applies to AB and thus does not engage the 7/50 formula. Good luck with that.
Also makes me wonder whether she spoke to Ontario and SK before hanging them out to dry (given the joint letter the other week).
When asked about Jason Stephans recent Western Standard op-ed encouraging people to sign the Separatist referendum...
Smith responded by clearly stating that she believes Alberta should remain in Canada & even hedged on whether Stephan might be kicked from caucus.
(he won't be)
Breaking. Smith's government will actually initiate the formal process to amend the constitution tomorrow.
This is from tomorrow's Order Paper.

On March 24 the AER sent out the final ToR for the environmental impact statement for Northback's Grassy Mountain Mk 2 coal project to all the commenters on the draft.
But there was a snag.
The AER did not use the bcc function.
Today it boldly announces that it has done nothing wrong. 1/2
