cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/b… There are four faces of a political party: leader, caucus, central board, local constituencies. There is often disagreement between the four faces on issues/personnel/internal rules - but the issue of separatism is really important.

Got an email from a viewer, saying other media have done a story and Global should pick it up. Story idea sounds suspiciously familiar. I go to the link... and it's MY STORY. A story I broke, that an AI site plagiarized. Straight up copy & paste :( #journolife #yeg #yegmedia

Not a massive surprise, since Taber once tried (maybe succeeded) to ban swearing, yelling and spitting in public.

Minister Devin Dreeshen is asked how he would vote in the fall referendum.
He doesn't actually answer, but instead says the feds need to do more to make the case for the country to stay together.

Former Alberta Finance senior manager Lennie Kaplan knows his way around numbers.
And his calulator is painting a fairly dire picture for separation:
-Our economy shrinks by 7.2% in year one
-Personal income drops 6.2%
-Business invesment falls 8%
-Boosts trade costs by 12%

Late to this, but I can't help but notice the slogan is the same as that of the Alberta Prosperity Project and the Republican Party of Alberta.

Alberta separatists are gaining momentum as Canada faces its biggest unity crisis in decades. Is this Canada's Brexit moment?

The EU has said it will maintain its diplomatic presence in Kiev unchanged, despite Russia's warnings. Well, apparently they've got diplomats to spare and need to trim the headcount.

This is actually a worthwhile point to consider.
The separatists have basically 5 months to rally their vote for the referendum on a referendum.
Do they want to spend their time on:
A) “winning” the October question, or
B) organizing against the Premier’s leadership?
Because it’s doubtful they can do both at the same time… (time, resources, etc) #ableg #abpoli
