Might be the most Danielle Smith thing ever.
Max Fawcett@maxfawcett.bsky.social · 3d agoVery interesting piece/take by the esteemed Andrew Leach. TL;DR (but you should!) version: one of her proposed constitutional amendments would make it *harder* to build pipelines, not easier. It might, in fact, give a progressive BC government a veto over them. leach.substack.com/p/is-daniell...
In this week’s opinion column, Senator Paula Simons writes about anti-separation Albertans who genuinely believe the best form of protest is to boycott the referendum. While she understands their motives, she warns that staying home will backfire. #ableg #canpoli forwardweekly.ca/simons-cant-...

I'm going to make you all happy (if you use an iPhone and have upgraded to iOS 27). Go to Settings > Apps > Messages > Show in Text Field and set it to Off. This disables the record audio snippet button I know you (and I) accidentally tap all the time. I never send audio messages.
1. A fascinating article that has me thinking about visual literacy. @samgoertz.bsky.social touches on the clunkiness of the AI meme, though that isn’t the focus of the article.
Jared Wesley@jaredwesley.ca · 3w agoGreat analysis by @samgoertz.bsky.social, uncovering the deep story of Alberta politics through the milch-cow meme. cground.substack.com/p/the-meme-t...
For the next six weeks, Forward Weekly is going deep on Alberta’s referendum. We’ll track the latest developments on the referendum, scrutinize the separatists' plans, and keep an eye on what the government might try to advance while everyone is focused on Oct. 19. archive.forwardweekly.ca?issue=23

So sad and unfair. We weren’t done learning stuff from you.
Calgary Heritage Initiative@calgaryheritage.bsky.social · last mo.It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of Harry Sanders, known to Calgarians for many years as "Harry the Historian", former Calgary Historian Laureate, who has passed away this past weekend.

Hey, remember how I resolved to stop reading about Alberta separatism yesterday, because it was giving me panic attacks? This is different. DO read this.

Excited to see that Mr. Eric Dyck is at it again at Henderson Lake! #yql #lethbridge #brightertogetheryql #yqljenn
I enjoy the work(s) that @ericdyck.bsky.social has created at Henderson, and I appreciate the City’s funding to make it possible!

You can stop reading the Harry Potter books, watching the movies, playing the games, I promise you’ll be okay. There’s a whole big world out there with other books and stuff.
Welcome to Alberta, where you get to choose between a party that loves fossil fuels and a party that loves fossil fuels and thinks renewable energy is ok too, I guess
From Dark Horse whisky to “shields up”; from obsessions with open liquor rule changes to Stampede parties, this has been a surprisingly consistent theme across Kenney & Smith’s tenures.
Jason Markusoff@markusoff.bsky.social · 4mo agoStill thinking about how it felt really possible this week that Alberta government would wield its bylaw-quashing power for the first time in history... To allow a Stampede party tent to blast music later and louder on weeknights. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Whoa! Moncton folks, go buy everything @piaguerra.bsky.social is selling! And bring her some fiddleheads!

“Smith has said she considers the threshold for a majority to be 50 per cent plus one.” Not that I don’t trust the Premier but … “50% + 1” of what? Total population? Total eligible voters? Total of voters who cast a ballot? Total of voters in Three Hills? Clearly “clarity” is not her strong point.

New comic. If only the NDP had come to her, so much of this fuss could have been avoided.
Looking good so far on the book campaign, but we are going to need more support to get this sucker made. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gle...
