Danielle Smith said that if Albertans collected enough signatures, she would allow a referendum on coal mining in the Rockies. Now that Albertans have collected more than that number, it looks like she’s reneging on that promise. She’ll help the separatists, but obstruct others.
Danielle Smith almost 1 year ago committed to having a referendum on coal mining if the signatures were collected… We’re betting somewhere a comms person is wordsmithing a β€œyeah, but she didn’t say when” response… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This upsets me and should have all Albertans in a knot For real.
Today, Smith announced that she is not going to allow Albertans to vote on the Water not Coal petition for literally YEARS. How do we know? Let's start with the clip from "Your Province, Your Premier" where she states she'll follow the process in the act... /1 #abpoli #ableg

This is why Danielle Smith and the UCP are so intent on gerrymandering seats for the next election. They realize they might not win fairly, so they’re going to cheat. Yet another page they’re taking from the Trump playbook.

Alberta, what do you get out of the $91,000,000, yes, $91 million referendum? Nothing. This $91 million could have been spent on building 3 schools, or 4 senior homes, or emergency rooms, hiring doctors or nurses. Instead, you get nothing. facebook.com/share/v/1Ayhqhs…

What does four decades of artistic dedication look like? For YEG metal sculptor @slav_metalurges, it means transforming steel into art inspired by Alberta's natural beauty. 🌿 His journey reminds us that great art begins w/ observing the world around us. stalbertgazette.com/hot-summ…

NEW bombshell reporting by @Hennig1Leah on the U of Alberta removing the Casavant Organ Despite their claims it isn't a war memorial, docs show that U of A sought a federal tax exemption for the purchase of the organ The exemption was for war memorials. thegatewayonline.ca/2026/06/…

BREAKING: Water not Coal (aka Corb Lund's petition) says it has reached the signatures required under the citizen intiative act. If signatures are counted and approved, it would theoretically lead to an 11th referendum question in Alberta this fall.

Eight years with ALS has taught me a lot. Some things have changed. Others stay the same. Joy looks different now, but it's still there. In my girls. In Sandra. In a great pair of socks and a mountain I wasn't supposed to be able to ski.

Danielle Smith is pressing ahead with a separation referendum that two courts have already ruled violates treaty rights. The chiefs are preparing to shut it down. This is where Alberta is headed. My latest is out at Indigenous Insider: open.substack.com/pub/indige…

He's afraid of her. He'd rather insult her than answer her questions.
Why is Trump such an asshole to Kaitlan Collins?

Today is Tom Longboat Day in Canada. Thomas Charles Longboat, Iroquois name Cogwagee, was an Onondaga distance runner from the Six Nations Reserve near Brantford, Ontario. Longboat, born in 1887, would go on to become the most globally known Canadian athlete of the first half of the 20th century. His dominant victory at the Boston marathon in 1907, with a lead of 5 minutes over the 2nd place finisher, was reported and celebrated around the world. Marathon racing at the time holding global cache. In February 1916 Longboat enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces running messages between military posts, earning the nickname the β€œBulldog of Brittania”. After a tumultuous adulthood back in Canada, Longboat would pass away in 1949 at 61 on the Six Nations Reserve of his birth. June 4th in Canada is Tom Longboat day.
