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/

So, apparently this Alberta referendum is turning into exactly the sort of travesty we’ve come to expect from Danielle Smith and her UCP MAGA puppet-club; apparently each referendum question (there are 10) has to be on its own sheet of paper so there’s like 45 million ballots to count, which has to be done within 48 hours. And of course Marlaina wants them all counted by hand, so Elections Alberta is now scrambling to try and find enough people to do the job. 😂😂😂

Separate, maintained #BikeLanes is what enabled me to bike year round in Calgary, Alberta. Fight it out with the cars on roads shrunk by dirty, hardened snow mounds? No thanks. This city opened up a whole new way of winter life for me & our province is threatening to take it away #yyc #yyccc #abpoli

CW: #ABpoli censorship 😡
"[An Alberta] Public Library board has estimated it will cost about $100,000 next year to comply with the United Conservative Party government’s unprecedented library censorship scheme, which is now the law of the land."
What a waste of valuable funds.

Getting lawyers to wear cowboy hats for 10 days every July is the closest Alberta’s going to get to a ‘distinct legal tradition’ #abpoli
