Democrats Don’t soften legislation out of fear; voters sense it & never reward it Let him veto And make Republicans own that anti democratic behaviour as the ballot question in 2028

I hope it works out as well for them as it did their republican brethren.

BREAKING!!!! The UCP has voted unanimously to pass their gerrymandered maps that explicitly went against the recommendations of the judge in the original report. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Reminder: Meta is trash and you should ditch them, period. They have been denying Canadians access to actual Canadian news websites for multiple years now, allowing misinformation and disinformation to grow exponentially. Do not trust Meta with your information.

Holy hell. Was this part of the shitshow too? I'm kind of gobsmacked.

Lol, they know they don't have the support for quite as much theft anymore.

A lot of you might not know this, but meta doesn't allowed Canadians and news organizations to post links to traditional news. That means I can't post a CBC or CNN article that refutes a misinformation account. This action by meta allowed the raise of alt right misinformation to flourish here.

Fascinating. I realize they wrote this legislation months ago for the maple (redacted) base but the timing on it is truly chef's kiss.

As someone who saw, reported on, and lived through the Civil Rights Movement, I can say this is a profoundly proud moment for the people of Georgia. They have elected the first Black, female governor ...

Dominic LeBlanc: "We look forward to seeing Americans interpret the results of their own elections. It's not up for Canadians to try and read into why particular American voters went in a particular direction."

Good good morning, everyone.

Schitt's Creek: David Rose - Needs To Be Celebrated

Alt: Canadian actor Dan Levy as David Rose, in a gif from Schitt's Creek. Dressed in his signature black and white, he says, "I feel like that needs to be celebrated."

Doug Ford: "He says, just pretend my name's on the ballot. Well, the American people listened to that, and they showed what they thought about President Trump. And then after the election, he starts insulting his own candidates that he endorsed. The cheese has slipped off the cracker with this guy."

Let the door hit you on the way out, ya prick.

Fox News hosts seem stunned as Bret Baier reads Robert Garcia's "lawyer up" statement on air

Texas forever.

Your vote shouldn't count for less because you live in Calgary. Under the proposed election map, 26 of our 28 seats would have far more people than the average, meaning we're 2 MLAs short of our fair share. We want fair representation for Alberta in Ottawa. Calgary deserves the same from Edmonton.

Someone send this to Premier Danielle Smith. Your pal in Florida didn’t do so well tonight, Dani. You know - the Florida man you call “friend”. Turns out voters don’t like gerrymandering. Fuck around, find out. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

May this happen in the Lethbridge 4. #ableg #abpoli

The redistricting has BACKFIRED

While everyone’s (understandably) focusing on the effects of UCP gerrymandering on Calgary & Lethbridge, I suggest ya’ll take a look west to see how they intend on overwhelming those pesky lefty voters in Jasper & Banff. I give you the riding of Banff-Canmore-Diamond Valley #ableg

And I thought we did away with DEI last week. 🤔

Alberta’s urban ridings will have average populations that are 5.8% above the provincial average. Alberta’s rural ridings will be 6.7% below the provincial average. This variance is even larger than the prior (rejected) commission report.

Sadly, Smith's UCP didn't care about stolen voter data, foreign interference, or a complicated referendum. They’ll just carry on. #abpoli

Chief Electoral Officer offers graceful exit for UCP from risky gerrymandering strategy. albertapolitics.ca/2026/11/chie...

Fun fact… The UCP code of conduct explicitly states no one can… “be reprimanded or disciplined by the Party, the UCA Board or CA Board for exercising their freedom of expression unless such expression constitutes an offence under the Criminal Code of Canada” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The Senate race between Jon Ossoff and Mike Collins gives us good material to illustrate two common problems with men's trousers, which most people miss when shopping. Let me show you. 🧵

Remember Danielle in an interview musing about how easy it would be to keep the UCP in power forever. She has one primary goal and it’s not to improve the lives of the majority of Albertans.

Gerrymandering can be a hard concept to explain to those people (Albertans) never exposed to the concept. Best explainers I've heard come from an aquaintance: (read on)

"If they really gave a shit about popular vote they can move us to proportional representation instead of wrestling control of the democratic process from an independent body"

WOW! The Rath texts are real. Smith colluded with the separatists. Confirmed by Dani in the legislature today. And while she tried to spin them as just answering questions, she also makes it clear the texts weren't meant for Lukaszuk. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

"...the democratic process allows us the opportunity to hold governments accountable. The gerrymander has no purpose other than to make that one promise impossibility. It is the United Conservative Party giving up." #ableeg #abpoli

UCP gives up on winning elections in Alberta

Gerrymandering isn’t “strong and free”-- it’s a sign of weakness.

Because unless it's a criminal offense, party officials are... "not be reprimanded or disciplined by the Party, the UCA Board or CA Board for exercising their freedom of expression unless such expression constitutes an offence under the Criminal Code of Canada." /2
