"Critics say this 'revolving door' creates an unfair playing field, where former officials can use their connections to potentially influence the awarding of multi-million-dollar contracts."
In Alberta, they just hand out Turkish Tylenol contracts straight to the donors, don't even need the former official! #abpoli #corruption

Question for #Alberta #ABPoli folks:
Is anyone compiling a list of all the different websites that are providing information/advocacy about the October referendum questions? I think I've seen at least half a dozen shared now.
Specifically, does anyone have a list of who is behind each website & what their qualifications are? Are there any actually backed by constitutional scholars & immigration lawyers, talking about the context & impact of the proposals?
I don't have the energy to vet them all, but I'd like to have a good link to point other people to. I mean, the short version is "Vote No to all the UCP proposals and 'remain a province of Canada' to the separation question," but it'd be nice to have a good summary of why it is important & to what degree the other side is spoutin' nonsense.

It’s official. The attack on our cultural reach, including in French, and trying to limit our international trading partnerships, was a direct attack on Canada 🇨🇦 as a sovereign country.
We will not be the 51st state. Never.
Not even Alberta.The USA is a hostile country.
Americans: this is on you. All of you. Fix it. Canada will make your life exactly as difficult as ours is, because of your President. Our leaders are now seriously talking about taxing or limiting energy exports to your country as we pivot to the welcoming embrace of the rest of the world.
Only you can fix this.

This of course is completely disingenuous and meant to suppress viewpoints like LGBTQ2IA+, Indigenous, BIPOC, etc. perspectives, but I guarantee that right-wing ideological viewpoints will be excluded from the policy.

Just a reminder that due to the added deliberately convoluted and confusing referendum b.s., the Alberta election this Fall will be an absolute complete cluster f... at the polling stations.
If you want to have time to properly review and comprehend the questions, and avoid the inevitable long wait lineups, you may want to consider voting by mail.

So… they wanna be American. Fine, point your trucks south and don’t let the door hit your tailgate on the way out.

Amused listening to an Alberta separatist this morning say an independent Alberta would cap income tax at 10%. These are the same people who say Alberta could easily afford independence by taking back all the money Alberta sends to the federal government. The vast majority of that is income tax....

The #Alberta #UCP are playing god with our #watersheds. "diverting flows from one basin to another can disrupt these balances and the overall health of the watershed. In the receiving river, inter-basin transfers can introduce pests, parasites, invasive species, and infectious diseases, while reduced flows in the donor river can negatively impact water quality and availability for downstream communities and aquatic habitat." https://www.albertawilderness.ca/news-release-government-of-alberta-amended-water-act-despite-public-feedback/
