Here's the statement from Minister Amery on the Forever Canadian petition

"We congratulate the group on gathering so many signatures in support of remaining in Canada. Now that the petition has been verified, caucus and cabinet will discuss how to proceed under the legislation."

What's next for @LukaszukAB
now that the Forever Canadian petition has been certified?

He's hopeful the provincial govt adopts it as policy- but says he's ready to fight to keep Alberta in Canada if it leads to a referendum.

Danielle Smith Isn't Governing Alberta, She's Breaking It

"Ungoverning." What Trump is doing.

Breaking the machinery of government. The "deep state." The "administrative state."

Or, as Canadians call it, public services.

Went to get my covid shot today. When asked if I am in an eligibility group I responded saying “Well I’m an educator that just had a contract shoved down my throat so.. yeah.”

The attendant understood. 😂

I read this twice. It's very shrewd.
The MOU, then, is textbook Carney. By telling a political adversary what they wanted to hear, he’s gotten them to agree to something he needs. He’s effectively daring Danielle Smith to do the work required to get her coveted pipeline built, knowing full well she can’t actually do it. But Smith’s concessions help advance his government’s climate agenda far more than anything the previous federal government managed to achieve in, and with, Alberta. For a guy who wasn’t supposed to be a good politician, he’s turning out to be pretty good at it — better, even, than the one he replaced.

A few years ago the UCP took control of several major pension funds & forced them to let AIMCo control their investments. AIMCo then lost billions on what became known as the VOLTS scandal. 1/2🧶

The energy MOU Mark Carney signed with Alberta will mean higher oil & gas production and millions more in profits for our oil & gas friends!

Sorry Alberta it won't do anything for oil & gas workers. But keep voting conservative!

The hot take here is that a new pipeline won't ever be built. Just too much economic uncertainty in the O&G sector, indigenous opposition, and BC opposition. Would love to see equal enthusiasm for renewable energy sources - China is far outpacing everyone in that arena. #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg

There is at least one massive inconsistency in the MOU.
On the one hand it speaks of "private sector constructed & financed pipelines" & on the other "AB commits to:
act as proponent for advancing the development of a bitumen pipeline".
Which is it? AB taxpayers want to know

A lot of smelly things in the air today but it really needs to be said a bit louder and clearer that the *Premier of Alberta* yesterday said - IN THE LEGISLATURE - that the Elections Alberta record of voters is publicly searchable.

It isn't.

Forget #DaleNally , the show just got a new headliner! Premier Smith is now actively defending her Minister's false claim.

That's not governing; that's escalation. The UCP isn't just letting their fish flop; the Premier is now flopping right beside them.🍿🍿
