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.

I don't watch many clips, as I have tunes on and don't like to interrupt my soundtrack.
This is good! Thomas comes out and calls Danielle a liar.
Which of course she is, and of course, why Danielle did not want a vote in the Leg.
16 minutes. 👇

It appears Jeffrey Rath and Mitch Sylvestre were fired from the Alberta prosperity project last month and removed from the board of directors.
The move was kept quiet to not overshadow the vote.

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.

Danielle Smith will do and say anything to preserve her job and retain power.
Truth and integrity are as foreign to her as loyalty.
Danielle knows that #ForeverCanadian 500,000 petition signatories didn’t want a referendum and all questions on it were designed by her.

That referendum sure wasn't worth the money, the division, the political goal of holding the UCP together. It was a political hoax. Column.

As a Retired US Army paratrooper, pictures like these hit hard. Trump never had the courage to pick up a rifle and man a post when he was called to serve.
Yet he has the nerve to promote AI pictures like this showing him wearing things like Parachutist badges, and rows of ribbons he never had to courage to obtain. Anyone who has ever served should be pissed at garbage like this.
His father paid a doctor’s note so he wouldn't have to serve. But remember that for every one of the draft deferments, someone else had to go in his place.
A pure disgrace.

Team Canada must stand together now more than ever.
Now is the time to stand united, protect Canadian workers and businesses, and defend our economic sovereignty.
Albertans are proud Canadians. We are ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with Canadians across the country to protect our jobs, our workers, and our future.
We didn’t ask for this fight, but Canada will always stand up for itself.

The Breakdown was in the phone queue to ask a questions at Smith's privatization of preventative care presser today...
Oddly, they only took one question from the phones before shutting down the presser.
Here's what we would have asked.

Danielle Smith wants Alberta — already with the most unreliable electrical grid in the country — to have the densest concentration of data centres in Canada. What could possibly go wrong? 😑
"Data Center Alley" a section of Virginia with the densest concentration of data centers in the country, caused the power to flicker across the East Coast.
On Wednesday, July 22nd the electricity flickered on and off for about 10 minutes throughout the Eastern U.S., from Chicago to Boston to Miami.
The cause appears to be a concentration of data centers straining the grid.
