There's a tell in how hard the separatist accounts are working Calgary right now.
The most popular mayor this city has had in decades comes out against the referendum question and they spend a week trying to explain why his opinion shouldn't count. Pollsters say Option 2 support in Calgary sits around 14% and suddenly every poll is rigged or irrelevant. The reply guys show up on anyone posting #ForeverCanadian within minutes.
That's not confidence. That's a campaign that knows where it loses.
Janet Brown said it plainly in the Herald this morning: Option 2 support could land anywhere between 20% and 40% depending on how campaigns run, and Calgary is the city that decides which end of that range it hits. One third of Alberta's population lives here. The separatists can't get a province-wide majority without Calgary, and they know it.
So if you're a Calgarian who believes Alberta's future is inside Canada and you've been feeling like you're shouting into a void โ you're not. You're the reason they're so loud right now. When they pile onto your posts, that's not intimidation. That's them telling you exactly how much you matter.
Keep going!

The more separatists are asked about the practical realities of independence, the more the answers fall apart. Mandatory military service, magical economic assumptions, no answers at all. @DonBraid explores their real motivations here.๐

.@WSOnlineNews It has been brought to my attention that the Western Standard misleads Albertans that I have agreed to a debate and they are attempting to raise money for that event.
Let me clear. #ForeverCanadian declined to partake, ever, in any debates with WS.

Poll: Fewer than half of Albertans say they would stay in a newly independent province
The new Postmedia-Leger survey also found that Canadians think Albertaโs separation would have a greater economic impact than Quebec's.

How much will the referendum on having a referendum, and on 9 questions that canโt be provincially implemented cost?
$90 million tax dollars. 60,000 workers to be hired by Elections Alberta.
You could build 3 schools for that.
Thatโs your money

The Politics of Self-Preservation
People keep asking me:
"Why aren't more UCP MLAs speaking up?"
Having sat in that caucus and around the cabinet table, I think I know the answer.
Self-preservation.
When speaking up carries political risk, too many choose silence.
In a healthy system, your first responsibility is supposed to be your constituents and the public interest - then your party - and lastly, the leader.
But when that order gets flipped, political survival starts to outweigh doing the right thing.
That's why you're seeing so many MLAs suddenly trying to change the narrative around separation and extremism.
The politics shifted.
Albertans started paying attention and suddenly some MLAโs found their voice.
But leadership isn't changing your message when the polls change.
Leadership is standing up when the chips are down.

The mayors of Calgary, Edmonton, and Red Deer went on record encouraging Albertans to vote for Canada.
Eva Chipiuk of Rath & Company responded: stay in your lane, fix the potholes.
These three cities represent 2.9 million Albertans โ about 60% of the province. Polling consistently shows 70-80% of Calgary and Edmonton residents want to remain in Canada.
The mayors aren't inserting themselves into something abstract. They're speaking for communities where federal transfers fund real transit, housing, and infrastructure budgets โ all of it on the table for renegotiation the moment the leave side wins.
If the elected leaders of 60% of Alberta don't have standing to weigh in on Alberta's future, it's worth asking who does.
Keep doing what you're doing!

Please focus on matters within your mandate, including roads, sewers, utilities, public safety, and snow removal.
Basic services that taxpayers expect are deteriorating while costs continue to rise, yet here you are.
They do not need municipal politicians using taxpayer-funded salaries and resources to campaign against democratic participation or insert themselves into matters they were never elected to control.
Let citizens have a say in their own future. That is what living in a free and democratic society means!
Thank you.
Ps. This video itself is poorly done (akin to the poor municipal services) and the performative theatre is difficult to watch.
Please do better. Public office is a serious responsibility, not a game, and citizens deserve to be treated with more respect than this.

To those attempting to discredit Mayor Farkas's mandate.
A May survey by Probe Research put his approval at 81% โ including in the high 80s among UCP voters. That was taken after he'd already been vocal on the referendum. Calgarians know where he stands.
The Calgary Chamber of Commerce polled its members in March. 83% said separatist discourse was already raising recession risk. 74% said businesses were actively considering relocating or expanding outside the province. That was before the referendum was even confirmed.
A mayor with 81% approval, representing a business community that's already registering economic damage, speaking for a city that polls 70-80% for Option 1. That's not a politician out of his lane. That's a politician reading his city accurately.

These people are literally vying to rip the City of Calgary out of Canada, and make it vassal state of the U.S. Yeah, the Mayor of Calgary @JeromyYYC gets a say in this. #yyc #yyccc #ableg
Mrs. Chipiuk should run for, and get elected to office if she wishes to set policy.
