Encore presentation ... Lisa discusses the impact of the court's recent ruling against the separatist referendum ... youtube.com/watch?v=5EowE3…

Over the past several months, many of you have raised important questions about what expanded dual practice could mean for patients, physicians and the future of our publicly funded health care system ... albertadoctors.org/news/publicati…

While some municipalities across Alberta have chosen to maintain their integrated fire and emergency services with a new provincial funding model, Lethbridge’s city council has decided to reject the province’s proposal. globalnews.ca/news/11848486/…

Carlene Variyan: "You want to attract a proponent to bankroll a $50B pipeline, and you're asking people to take a look at the province of Alberta, and this is what they're seeing in the news. Who's putting their money into this province?"

For everyone sharing Jeffrey Rath’s legal opinions… Just a reminder, here’s a few more of his opinions… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Alberta, watch this carefully. Snake oil mongers sold Brits on Brexit. People fell for it. Economy collapsed. Business relocated to EU. Now UK wants back in. #ableg

This should disqualify her to be the leader of a federalist party. Sadly, she’s turned that party over to the separatists.

Being a leader is difficult. At times, it challenges one to choose between what’s expedient and popular among supporters, or what’s difficult and unpopular. True leaders, often at the expense of personal popularity, do what’s right and work hard to bring her supporters along.

This referendum violates treaty rights, it would cost Albertans hundreds of millions of dollars, and is now tied to serious public safety concerns thanks to the largest data breach in Alberta’s history. Accept the court’s decision. Nobody is above the law – certainly not this Premier or this separatist government

Tim Powers reacts to Danielle Smith calling Alberta judge's decision 'antidemocratic': "Let's not forget the obvious fact we all learned in our civics classes: there's nothing undemocratic about the judiciary — they exist in our system to provide a check and a balance in circumstances like this."

Jordan Leichnitz: "You can't expect Albertans to fairly vote on this question when it's clear that the forces in favour of separation are cheating."

Today, a judge has thrown out the Alberta separatist petition because Danielle Smith’s UCP government failed in its legal duty to consult First Nations. I want to thank the fearless First Nations who stood up and led this fight against separatism – not just for their nations, but for all Albertans and for Canadians. Specifically, thank you to the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, the Blackfoot Confederacy, and Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation, for fighting for our country with your time and money. First Nations are not alone, as the vast majority of Albertans stand alongside them, opposed to a costly, divisive exercise. This referendum violates treaty rights, it would cost Albertans hundreds of millions of dollars, and is now tied to serious public safety concerns thanks to the largest data breach in Alberta’s history. The Premier says that she’s exploring other ideas. Here’s an idea, Premier: call off the referendum and put this to bed. This petition is dead. This referendum is dead. For the premier to spend taxpayer time and money to resurrect it, would prove what we’ve always known: she’s a separatist. Accept the court’s decision. Nobody is above the law – and certainly not this Premier. Albertans are proud Canadians and want nothing more than to move on from this and focus on the things that really matter.

Good thing we have @LukasukAB’s petition to fall back on! Don’t worry separatists, I’ll pass a law to allow Mickey Amery to have final say on any referendum questions. Then he can revise Lukasuk’s question with yours. I’m fighting for separation! #abpoli #UCPcorruption #ableg

7,000 volunteers will either be working on a Yes vote for a scheduled referendum this fall, or they will be working on taking down the premier. Danielle Smith knows this. I expect she will offer the referendum option

OFFICIAL STAY FREE ALBERTA STATEMENT CONCERNING THE RECENT JUDICIAL DECISION ON THE STAYFREE ALBERTA INDEPENDENCE PETITION : “We disagree fundamentally with the decision which appears on its face to violate principles of natural justice and contain numerous errors of law. We have been instructed to prepare and file the appropriate appellate documents.”

The court ruling barring a separatist referendum offers the UCP a way out. albertapolitics.ca/2026/05/if-dan…
