Smith insisting the law forced her to put this separation q on the ballot.
No. The law required govt to consider the proposed question.
And Smith lowered the signature threshold to 177k from 600k.
The secessionist option garnered 496,890 votes w 94% of polls reporting.
Reporter: Comment on your new rules helped make this happen?
Smith: Our rules didn't do this. Ask the other guy. Oh, and also, yes our rules did this.
"They should call @LukaszukAB from Forever Canada, he's the reason it was on the ballot."
Premier Smith asked about Albertans frustrations over having to have a separation referendum, and she rebuffs any responsiblility for the question being asked.
Deepest condolences to those killed and injured in Wainwright, their families and the soldiers who responded to the crisis.
Thoughts are with the PPCLI today, who I had the privilege of working with in Wainwright in 2015.
This is Shawn. Shawn is using the deaths of four CAF members to push conspiracy shit.
Shawn doesn't know shit.

If it weren't for law enforcement, who would trespass on your property and kill your pets?
🚨 A family opened their back door to let their dog out... and a cop they didn't know was there KILLED her in five seconds.
Then he pointed his gun at her OWNER.
Her name was Tesla. A 3-year-old black Lab from Rochester, New York.
October 19th, 2018. Police were chasing two suspects through backyards.
They already had them in CUFFS. It was OVER.
But Officer Javier Algarin hopped the Dempsey family's fence AGAIN.
No warrant. No knock. Nobody inside even knew he was there.
Three seconds later, Charles Dempsey opened the back door.
Tesla ran off her OWN porch into her OWN backyard.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Hey!"
BANG. BANG.
Five seconds. She was DEAD.
Then he turned the gun on Charles.
"LEAVE MY PROPERTY!" Charles screamed.
"Get back!" the officer yelled.
Years later, under oath:
Could this have been avoided if you'd just knocked and asked permission?
His answer: "Yes."
The family fought for seven years.
A federal jury found him PERSONALLY liable. $125,000.
Rochester's training? "DELIBERATE INDIFFERENCE."
At least 6 dogs killed by that department from 2017 to 2019.
And that officer?
He's STILL on the job.
In 5 days it'll be EIGHT YEARS since Tesla died in her own yard.
HOW IS HE STILL WEARING A BADGE?!!!!!!

Two angles in this massive Emera/Canadian Utilities merger to watch:
-Scale to major chase cross-country transmission infrastructure projects that are part of Ottawa's push to integrate power grids East-West-North
-Newly streamlined ATCO betting on significant buildout of defence and Arctic infrastructure: “There's approximately $180 billion in defence procurement opportunities ahead of us, and $290 billion in defence-related capital investment over the coming decade, primarily in Canada's Arctic,” CEO Nancy Southern said. thelogic.co/news/emera-merge… $EMA.TO $ACO.X.TO $CU.TO
What Rob is really saying is that he thinks his voter base is dumb and will believe anything.
Ontario voters, take note: Tax freezes don't work - unless the goal is to pay more later.
It's a populist move to buy votes that comes back to bite municipalities with huge increases.
Any politician who runs on a freeze is self-serving and not smart.
She's got her EI application ready
Fun fact: they're the same thing. And that's the point - didactic stories and archetype characters.
You'd think Johnny freakin Blaze would get that.
Nicolas Cage says the Marvel Cinematic Universe "is becoming a well-funded and glorified WWE."
“I do say this with love, but when I see these 50-plus and otherwise intelligent and remarkably gifted thespians putting on these ridiculous outfits and getting ready for the fight — let’s face it, it’s all cutting to the fight — it’s hard for me not to be reminded that the MCU is becoming a well-funded and glorified WWE.”

Municipal official plans are centered around the idea that we don't need to build too many suburban homes for young families because seniors will downsize.
Municipalities then do everything in their power to ensure seniors don't downsize.
Permanently freezing property taxes for seniors allows them to age in place and keep the homes they built. Eligibility:
👵 65 or older
📆 Owned their home for 20+ years
1️⃣ Home is primary residence
🏚️ Don't own more than 1 home

Not all heroes wear capes. Good kid.
Would be a shame if the docs just, like, ended up online forever...
"An Alberta judge has ordered former Alberta Health Services (AHS) head Athana Mentzelopoulos to return dozens of documents she had sought to rely on in her wrongful dismissal lawsuit against the Alberta government."

White, Canada-born man who got kicked out of the military: shoots up a synagogue.
Conservatives: Immigration did this!
And there will be no apology from the cons who jumped to blame immigrants and muslims....just like Jesus would want I guess?
