Danielle Smith has no mandate for a referendum, no basis to hold it, and no authority to lead She should call an election and get a fucking mandate for this atrocity

The Alberta Referendum Question: The Most Canadian Thing Ever Ladies and gentlemen, Canada has done it. After decades of consulting about consultants, reporting about reports, and commissioning studies about the effectiveness of studies - Canada has achieved its bureaucratic magnum opus. Alberta, furious at being bled dry by a federal government that turns money into meetings, has decided to leave. Reasonable. Logical. Justified. Their first move? A referendum to decide if they should have a referendum. Sit with that. A province so enraged by Ottawa's paralytic, process-obsessed governance has responded by inventing a new layer of process. They caught the Canadian governance disease so badly they're doing it while trying to escape. This is a prison break where the inmates stopped to file the paperwork. "You want independence? Wonderful. First - a report." "The report recommends a referendum." "But before that - a referendum about the referendum." "Results will be submitted to the government you're trying to leave." "The government thanks you for your patience." Other independence movements stormed the Bastille. Threw tea in a harbour. Wrote passionate declarations by candlelight. Alberta is holding a non-binding vote about the possibility of a binding vote — submitted for consideration to the exact government they're trying to escape. It is the geopolitical equivalent of asking your landlord for permission to move out. And here is the beautiful, devastating punchline: Nobody is surprised. Because this is just how things work here. The process IS the point. The report IS the product. The meeting IS the outcome. Actual results are a bonus and frankly a little unexpected. Alberta set out to roast Ottawa. Instead they proved Ottawa's greatest achievement =that no matter how angry you are, no matter how justified the grievance, no matter how clearly you see the dysfunction: Canada will bureaucrat you into submission. Every single time. The revolution will not be televised. It will be tabled pending further review. Allow 6 to 8 weeks for delivery.

To my fellow independence supporters: It is time to cross the Rubicon. We must fully commit to independence. No turning back. As Canada is accelerating toward an authoritarian police state, it will not matter who the Premier is if we can’t get there before the end of the year. Therefore: 1. 22 UCP Constituency Associations (CA’s) must simultaneously pass a motion to convene a Special General Meeting (SGM) for a leadership review. 2. Danielle Smith must be removed and a pro independence Premier voted-in. 3. Once the new Premier is sworn in, a motion to halt the current referendum, and replace it with a binding constitutional referendum on secession must be passed. Concerns about vote splitting must be ignored as the Smith UCP or the NDP being in charge will be irrelevant once Canada has implemented all the destruction that’s currently on the horizon. Remember: - 88% of our trade is with the United States. - The US is by all indications going to announce the cancellation of CUSMA July 1st. - This will begin a 6 month countdown before the treaty lapses. We cannot afford to wait. And we have no power to stop anything that Ottawa is doing due to Carney’s majority in the House of Commons along with the 100 out of 105 senators that were appointed by Trudeau.

Ill see Danielle smiths "Alberta independence" question and ill raise her this: Do you agree that Danielle Smith should stay as the leader of the UCP, or should a Special General Meeting be called for her leadership review?
