From the DM’s… There’s reportedly been a massive cull of senior leadership at Acute Care Alberta with 8 senior leaders being shown the door suddenly! Just in time for flu season! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Very keen to hear Mickey Amery explain how the hiring of his cousin Sam Mraiche's nephews would square with this DEI policy, and for Danielle Smith to explain what experience Michaela Frey, who stepped aside to give her a seat in Brooks, had to be hired in the premier's office as a policy advisor.

Alberta’s Minister of Health/Hospitals wants Albertans to know that the government is building everything they can to manage the incoming flu season… Except mention vaccines. In fact, the last time she tweeted about vaccines? Last year. But it was measles, not the flu.

Blame government neglect for hospital wait times — not immigrants. Both Edmonton and Calgary need at least 1,000 new acute care beds. edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu... via @edmontonjournal.com

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

Is no one going to ask *how* she plans on enforcing this? The party bylaws don't give her authority. This isn't the APP. Bylaws do matter.

Buckle up, friends. This is going to be a thread. A thread of thanksgiving, my gratitude for the people of the city and the province I love. The people who stood united to defeat a dark and narrow vision of Alberta's future. The people who stood in defence of Canada. 🧵 #Alberta #Canada #yeg

Danielle Smith says that schools like the one in her constituency that flies multiple international flags inside the school will be able to get an exemption. Want to guess what’s not in the new regulations? An exemption process. Or even the word “exemption”.

Greg MacEachern points out that while Danielle Smith champions direct democracy, her government is ignoring the results of an earlier referendum on daylight saving time.

Treaty 6 was signed in 1876. Treaty 7 was signed in 1877. Treaty 8 was signed in 1899. Alberta joined confederation in 1905. This was treaty land before Alberta existed. This is still treaty land.

It would be grand, then, if the Government of Canada would terminate any use of X/Twitter. And don't say, "Oh, we need it to get our messages out," because then you are "caught in a situation where we are reliant on one provider."

Is anyone else utterly exhausted by the madness & flip flopping coming from South of the border? Anyone?? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Alberta Prosperity Project disavows their separatist leaders after they lost the referendum. Up until then, they were fine. Danielle Smith disavows separatists in the UCP party and caucus after they lost the referendum. Up until then, they were fine. No honor among thieves.

The ridiculous cost of this referendum, the divisiveness & polarization it caused, the damage it did to Alberta’s already troubled national image - none of this had to happen. Danielle Smith made sure it did. She should be held accountable, at the polls. 2/2 #ableg

Something for the #ableg folk to think about, at length: The Separatists didn’t even achieve 600k votes in this referendum. The threshold for their petition was originally 600k until Danielle Smith changed it to 177k. Had she not done so, there would’ve never been a referendum. 1/2

It's official. More votes were counted in Alberta's referendum than in any other vote in Canadian history, including all federal elections.

Is that my hand? Who can say…

Premier Smith is simply not TRUSTWORTHY, and Albertans know it. She's keeps deflecting and misleading on the separation issue... And she's not trustworthy on healthcare! She's made promises she hasn't kept, and she keeps spouting random numbers pretending they are facts!

Municipal Affairs minister scolds city councillor for budget leak, but doesn't suggest sanctions calgaryherald.com/news/municip...

Edmonton city council may have just set a record for short meetings. They were set to discuss the UCP's edict on zoning, but since the gov't has yet to provide specific details for council to follow, there was nothing to discuss. As soon as roll call was over, that was it. #yeg #yegcc

Danielle Smith didn’t draw a line in the sand for UCP separatists, she instituted a gentle policy of ‘Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell’ albertapolitics.ca/2026/10/dani...

Here is Alberta's Premier, lying again, deflecting, and refusing to accept responsibility for putting the Canada question on the ballot. It's always 'other people' when things don't go her way. Nothing new, but she is not fit to hold public office. #ableg #abpoli

Noticed my book at the front table in Edmonton Airport Indigo. Excellent. Also noted: the airport is very efficiently run by a workforce almost entirely people of colour. Ironic, since a majority of Albertans just voted to reduce immigration. Claiming it’s a drag on the economy. Sad.

The referendum drama in Alberta is over. Up next: the highly contentious redrawing of electoral boundaries! The advisory panel that was appointed in June is due to give its report to the UCP-controlled Select Special Committee *tomorrow* (Oct. 22). Some thoughts on this from a poll we did in May:

Albertans should be furious about this. Danielle Smith: 1) Lowered the threshold for signatures on a petition 2) Extended the duration in which they could be collected 3) Continues to pretend the people who signed the Forever Canada petition wanted a referendum Shameless.

What? “ However, when doors closed at 8 p.m., she said about 60 people remained in the queue with only 30 ballots remaining. Swampy said they requested additional ballots from Elections Alberta, but were denied. “ www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Hey Alberta, someone else may have already posted this resource, but here’s an excellent dashboard for the full referendum vote, live as it is counted. Click on any question to see more detail, including maps. suffrageapp.ca/abref26/#q=2

Please come work in our healthcare system. Your help is desperately needed, but no healthcare for you!

Yes, defeating the separatists is a win. But a majority of Albertans just voted to restrict access to healthcare & education for our immigrant neighbours, which will have real consequences for vulnerable communities across the province. Scapegoating, racism & bigotry is the real winner here. #ABLeg

With 81% counted, here are the results for the yes side on the other 9 questions. Q1) 55% Q2) 56% Q3) 58% Q4) 57% Q5) 63% on photo ID Q6) 51% Q7) 53% Q8) 48% Q9) 50.7%

Relieved that the majority of my fellow Albertans voted to stay in Canada. Demoralized that a majority also voted that the child of a temporary foreign worker or refugee shouldn't have access to health care or education. Yesterday doesn't really feel like a win. #canada #ABleg

Mom and dad aren't mad, they’re just disappointed that you experimented with separation.
