  1. Below is a passionate response to yesterday's Alberta, Canada separation referundum that I didn't know I needed to see.

    And the current, unofficial results are here:
    results.elections.ab.ca/8400
    (Official results must be published by late Wednesday night, fyi).

    Separation is No. But I'm so disappointed that the many anti-immigrant questions were all Yes. 😥

  2. @chad oh! Now I get it. I was puzzling over how there were 8.2 million votes, but only 1.7 votes on Question 10! Now I get it.
    results.elections.ab.ca/8400

    It looks like almost half *only* voted on Question 10 (sovereignty).

  3. CW: #cdnPoli @ABpoli "Trump on the ballot"

    In my inbox:

    "Trump has been implicitly on the ballot in various ways in … plenty of countries. 

    He’s here in the referendum too—not only in … his tariffs … but also in the real ties separatists have made with his allies.

    … 'Danielle Smith is the one Canadian premier who has most emulated Trump in campaigning & in governing—& has personally met with him at Mar-a-Lago to pitch Albertan oil & gas.'"

  4. CW: #cdnPoli bill C-39 takes First Nations out of the loop 😞

    Bill C-39 allows "important" projects to be rushed through, without sufficient time for environmental impact assessment and consultation.

    So short-sighted, particularly now, when our children's and grandchildren's future is in peril. 😢

  5. CW: #cdnPoli Wainwright fire update #ABpoli

    Wow. It was a wildfire. Causing explosions and deaths on a Canadian Armed Forces base in Alberta.

    Fortunately, first responders came in from all around Canada.

    (We'll be watching the referendum today to see if Alberta really wants to leave.)
