What’s with Smitty and these faucets? Jk…what’s with Smitty and her “fireside” chats?! I would so be thrown out of there by her wanna be goons for heckling her so loud she’d have to call the cops on me!

Hopefully there are numbers outside Festival Place in Sherwood Park at 7:00 PM tomorrow. Let her know that the communiques from Orange Daddy aren't welcome here.

Longtime Edmonton Alberta NDP MLA is resigning his provincial seat
The resignation comes after former Alberta NDP leader Rachel Notley stepped down in December, paving the way for new leader Naheed Nenshi to run in a byelection in Edmonton-Strathcona that has yet to be called.It's Rod Loyola, FYI

Now Smitty knows she’s officially “lost” YEG and is now pretending to care about us! Lol

Not only that, but other than a momentary blip, the NDP have not been in power at all. People who attend these events live in a reality entirely crafted by Smith.

With only 52% of the population vote in the 2023 election, Smith does not have the mandate to sell Albertans out to the Trump led Republican Party in the USA. She sure as hell does not speak for Canada. I think a massive Alberta and Canada wide petition should be launched telling her to stay in Alberta and shut the fuck up - the next Alberta election is 2.5 years away and the clock is ticking.
Alberta’s Next Election
Section 38.1 of the Election Act outlines when provincial general elections are held.General election dates
38.1(1) Nothing in this section affects the powers of the Lieutenant Governor, including the power to dissolve the Legislature, in His Majesty’s name, when the Lieutenant Governor sees fit.
(2) Subject to subsection (1), election day for a general election shall be the third Monday in October in the 4th calendar year following the election day of the most recent general election.
According to this section, the next provincial general election is scheduled for October 18, 2027.

Maybe it's because I'm an immigrant from a formerly communist country, but I find voter turnout in Canada to be really disappointing.

I wouldn't say it's terrible, given that we hold at least 3 elections every 4 years. StatsCan put out a pretty interesting report on the subject.

Worth a glance.

We do sometimes take it for granted, but we don't always have good choices and it sometimes seems like the same party always wins.
Here in Alberta until a decade ago we had the same party in power provincially for over 40 years.

A Pay Cut Disguised as a Raise (Share This)
Why the March 28 mediator recommendations fall short on salary increases.
The 2011 start date is a bit arbitrary, but teachers have taken 0% for 11 of the last 14 years. With raises in those other years being 1.25, 2, and 2.5%. Don't know how this will go over.
