Great post! Not only are we not alone (by looking at some recent protests and petitions), there are 24 UCP MLAs facing recall. That is why #RecallSmith is getting more unhinged every day. #ABPoli #ABleg #Cdnpoli

This is among the most democratically dangerous things Danielle Smith has said.
She wants to remove all checks and balances on her power and projects herself as the embodiment of "the people."
We have left the realm of liberal democracy in this province.

This is an email that is reportedly a complaint letter to Elections Alberta that seems to make some very serious allegations...
Given the degree to which the UCP have alleged ill intent in the recall process, this needs to be addressed quickly.

The UCP didn't have to use the notwithstanding clause. They wanted to, in order to avoid an arbitration process they knew they'd lose.

Gotta make sure that the white/Christian nationalists continue to hold the reins of power with in the party.
This is older than MAGA. This is a deep-seated ugliness that the party and its predecessors kept under polite wraps and is now feeling emboldened enough to be in the open.

UCP convention-goers voted to ban permanent residents and other non-citizens from being party members or voting to nominate candidates.
Saskatchewan Party grassroots did something similar; it could have a large effect on party base makeup in some ridings.
