Very excited to announce I’m joining the Alberta NDP Caucus as Director of Communications.
These are pivotal times for the province I was born & raised in, and Albertans deserve a good, honest, pro-Canada government.

Cheers to Friday! Been a hell of a week.
I’ll talk more about what I’m up to next week. Tuesday maybe.
Some of you will love it, some will hate it. That’s OK. You’ll all be invited.
For now, a sincere thanks for all the kind posts, messages, even some job offers. 😊

It’s pretty much impossible to overstate the contributions that @JSJamato has made to journalism in Alberta.
But if he’s stepping up for Alberta and Canada, what ever comes next can only be more impactful.
Thanks for everything you’ve done so far!

Never thought I'd post this…but here we go…
All I ever wanted to be was a journalist, but after 21 years I’ve filed my final story.
I’m choosing to take a stand for Alberta & Canada.
I'll share more soon, but for now, thanks to everyone who follows & supports my work!

We’ll miss you, Sean. Fearless, inquisitive, relentless - I could add more words that describe a great journo and they’d all apply to you. Best wishes.

Big rally rolling through downtown Edmonton.
Thousands shouting “UCP has got to go” and “Alberta election now.”
The gov’t issued a statement saying this is the work of a failed NDP candidate (Gil McGowan) and this will fail like recalls & a general strike did. #ableg #cdnpoli

NEW: Prime Minister @MarkJCarney says the Alberta referendum question does not fall under the Clarity Act, since it is a question on a question, and not a direct separation referendum. Says this is what he had expected but wanted to wait for the official legal advice

Premier Smith keeps saying 700,000 Albertans want this, but that's not true.
0 Albertans signed a petition for THIS question, 0 Stay Free Alberta signatures have been verified and the leader of the 400k signature petition says this was not their top option.
