On question 8 of Alberta’s referendum 58% of respondents voted that they do not want Canadian provincial governments to amend the constitution to opt out of federal programs ie healthcare, education and social services. UCP has previously announced that they intended to leave the federal Canadian dental program by 2026. The UCP also rejected participation in Canada’s national pharmacare program. Danielle Smith is already taking the liberty to interpret what individuals intended when they placed their referendum votes and is planning to pass a law requiring proof of citizenship at Alberta’s next provincial election. Albertans now need to demand that Danielle Smith @ABDanielleSmith pass a law that Albertans can access all federal programs in healthcare, education, and social services. Qualifying Albertans should be able to access the federal dental program as well as the national pharmacare program.

So... The Alberta Prosperity Project has allegedly lost control of their digital assets and branding and it is in the hands of Mitch Sylvestre and Jeff Rath... But wait! There's more! /1 #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

.@ABDanielleSmith Really? Is this what desperation and drowning look like? Separatists, who got you elected, are the same ones as your antivaxxers (Dennis Modry and Mitch Sylvestre), convoy and border blockers (Chris Scott) and many others. These are your supporters own it.
Danielle Smith... Who cited the Separatist APP in 2022 as her "or else" for Canada... Claims that separatism didn't start until April of 2025... And that folks that believe that kids are being secretly transitioned are her real base. So Dani hasn't hung up her tinfoil hat.

@ABDanielle told AB separatists to “find another home” or keep their opinions to themselves. 1. Why didn’t she make this statement prior to the referendum? 2. So, you will continue to welcome separatists into your govt, “as long as they are not vocal a/b it”? Seriously?

This is so bad faith and dishonest that it causes physical pain in my body.
Danielle Smith throws Forever Canada under the bus, blaming them for the referendum: "If somebody doesn't want to put a vote forward, then they shouldn't start a petition campaign. If they're going to do that, then they have to understand that there are consequences to it."

Albertans are dying because they can't get timely care in emergency rooms. And how has Danielle Smith responded? She's done nothing but waste all of our time and $200 million on a separation referendum we all knew would fail. Albertans deserve a government that will make life better for them. cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/…

.@ABDanielleSmith gets caught lying again and Elections Alberta calls her out on it. #ableg #cdnpoli
CTV News is fact-checking Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's claims that Thomas Lukaszuk forced her hand in putting the question of separation on the ballot. Spoiler alert: nuh uh, Smith. #Alberta #AbLeg youtu.be/Z3iHDLbu1hU?si=F4fF…

“It cost us probably at the end of the day about $200 million in tax payer money to do this. That would’ve hired teachers, doctors, nurses, 7500 EAs on five year contracts for example. The feeling I got from Albertans crossing every corner of the province, from the Peace Country down to the US border, is people were saying why are we going through this?” rivercountry.fm/2026/10/22/n…

Live results at 7:26 - 7:27PM tonight Getting closer to election call or resignation ! UCP have NO mandate on any of 9 questions that they decided and put out propaganda to vote yes on. This is a huge defeat for Smith & UCP !

Smith is going to destroy the UCP with this kind of rhetoric. Dictating how an MLA votes or speaks is nothing short of dictatorship. Smith should have remained neutral and allowed every MLA to speak for their constituents, not her own personal beliefs. There are constituencies who support independence. They are not less conservative & quite capable of supporting more than one agenda. MLA’s are supposed to represent the people who elect them - not a Premiers personal position.

Get out and vote. If you want Alberta to remain a province in Canada, vote option 1. There is no other way to communicate that.

I cast my vote already for the referendum via mail-in ballot. No to all of the nine questions and yes to remaining with Canada. I don’t usually feel compelled to express how I vote but this is important to me. Proudly Albertan, fiercely Canadian. 🇨🇦

Smith is a thief, in charge of the looting.
I thought conservatives were about “small govt”? Look how ridiculous this is.. guess who pays for those extra stipends!!! (Enter life-long Cons saying “it’s only a couple extra million”… despite small govt and not wasting taxpayer money being one of their CORE VALUES!!!)
