I’m just an oatmeal socialist girl, standing in front of the Alberta NDP, asking them to campaign on more than “but the conservatives are worse” platform in the next election.

Notice how Smith didn’t have issues we actually care about in the referendum to “let voters decide”
Coal mining in E.slopes
Trampling on teachers rights
Political gerrymandering of ridings
Private health care
Public money to private schools
What was she afraid of?

First they used the notwithstanding clause to override fundamental human rights. Next they came for library books. Now they are banning Pride flags.
This is not how democracies operate.

When is a flag not a flag? You can't outlaw rainbows. Science displays, posters, stickers...

Th UCP is trying to cut healthcare access for vulnerable Albertans by eliminating a program to assist homeless and low income people with obtaining ID.
Remember: Danielle plans to have AHC cards linked to our identification so our healthcare cards can expire.

Questions 1 to 9 were just unconstitutional unimplemtable spectacle, just so Danielle Smith could try to blame her own incompetence on immigrants.
It was an IQ test and if you picked yes for any of them you failed.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. Making it okay to charge one group for healthcare is the top of a slippery slope. Who will be next to be considered undeserving of healthcare access? The elderly? Low income earners? Indigenous? LGBTQ+? All of us?

Immigrants are not the reason why everything sucks. The reason is that some of you keep voting against your own interests because the people who are making your lives suck have told you immigrants are the problem.

In other words, they are mostly not things the government can enact tomorrow. We have bigger problems, such as waiting years for surgery or a MRI, but the government that is doing nothing to address would rather have you think immigrants and Ottawa are the problems.
I feel annoyed that they @abndpcaucus sent me a fundraising email today saying that "we did it". If anyone did it, it was the tireless efforts of @LukaszukAB and the Forever Canadian volunteers! The NDP desperately need a new strategy and coms. team because this one is baaaaad.

This whole referendum was a sleight of hand to create a permission structure to strip people of their healthcare and services, starting with people who can’t vote but pay taxes.
Norwegian Blue retweeted
The immigration questions on the referendum consist of things that Danielle Smith and her goons cannot do, things that she does not want to do, and things that sound good only to people who blame immigrants for things Smith cannot or does not want to do.
Disappointingly, it appears that approximately half of Albertans are idiotic nincompoops in need of a civics lesson.

As a cat, I know a thing or two about asking to be let out then regretting it 2 seconds later.
