A strong man.

I had an extraordinarily chilling vision last night. Once or twice a month when I lay down to sleep I sometimes get vivid images of animals in places they shouldn't be. Ex. A moose in an alley in Hong Kong or a bear in the Aussie Outback. The colours are typically striking and vivid, very intense

If a Northern Perspectives mod leaks emails out of context to a journalist making NP seem racist, and then we find out later that mod is also a staffer for Mark Carney, the credibility of that "evidence" would be extraordinarily suspect with ulterior motives. Just thinking out loud. 🤷🤷🤷

🧵3/4The good news is we have the original unedited photo! The forms are still blurry, but you can definitely make out where the name is. And...by a stroke of luck we also held on to the original forms featured in the photo😀 (though we won't be sharing those on a bluesky post)

🧵1/4 Did Northern Perspective edit a photo to make it appear blank? (Yes) For 3 months the Youtube channel Northern Perspective has been accusing us of collecting nomination signatures without a candidates name on the form. Their proof... a photo they "zoomed-in and enhanced" ...

There's never been a longest ballot provincially in AB...So what's going on? Best guess is the ruling party is using long ballots as an excuse to enact politically self-serving election rules that have little to do with us (similar to what's happening at PROC) www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

Alberta government to introduce bill limiting who can run in provincial elections

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s government is planning to introduce legislation this fall to limit who can run in provincial elections.

The so called Members of Parliament are at it again (TOTALLY CLUELESS, VERY DUMB PEOPLE BELIEVE ME). Only the LONGEST BALLOT COMMITTEE is doing REAL work, fighting for fairness and putting the people first. PROC doesn't get it! Thank you for you attention to this matter!

Mark your calendars! Tuesday, October 7th Tomas will be presenting to MPs who are eager to find out what we're all about😀

For all you election nerds out there🤓: The origins of the signature requirement. Attached is a copy of the Dominion Elections Act of 1874, which introduced the first signature requirement (just 25). You'll notice it explicitly approves of the same individuals nominating multiple candidates.

"Libertarian" Facebook friend is mad at the Longest Ballot and wants to put in a $2500 dollar nonrefundable deposit to run. "People who can financially manage their homes" should be the only ones who run! Neat! Folk's reactions to the Longest Ballot really brings out their true colours!
