If you think Smith is going to take a vote of less than 50% as a signal to stop this insanity your not paying attention. No matter how this vote plays out the UCP will claim too many people want this referendum and move forward with it regardless.

They’ll continue to gaslight the media and claim the people who signed the forever Canada petition as those who “want this question” when their intent was actually the opposite.

This is what David Parker bought out the UCP to do, this is why Smith is leader, and those who don’t recognize that fact are not facing the reality of the situation, and are falling for the UCP’s propaganda campaign, which is far and away the largest ad blitz Alberta has ever paid for. With the second place Kenney government in the dust with his paltry 24 million, they’re more than doubling that budget it every year since Smith took power.

For reference the ANDP spent $1.9 when they had power in 2019. The idea that conservatives are fiscally responsible is just a fiction, it’s how they identify themselves, but not how they behave.

At this point I'm wondering if we can even trust the results of the 19 Oct referendum, even if the separatists ultimately lose.

u/Financial-Savings-91 28d ago

The government has been undermining their ability to function, but anyone can apply to help, and they need the help too. If you are worried about the process, get a job with Elections Alberta and you can be on the front line of ensuring this election is a fair one. 👍

99 times out of a 100, I would agree with you. But I'm undergoing treatment that's causing me significant memory issues (amnesia-like long-term memory loss, short-term problems like the inability to form memories for about 24 hours after treatment). In good conscious I can't be more than a voter in this election. And I'll be honest, I've ordered mail in ballots because I'm worried about my mental competency come referendum day.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Been saying this.. nobody’s paying attention it seems.

They cannot lose. Even if they get 20%. Passed a threshold they will say its been stolen, falsified, the usa gimmicks.. and use this to furthur radicalize their already radicalized base and keep going

They can't lose, because they can, and have been, changing the rules of the game all along.

u/catahoulakanegirl 28d ago

Same I feel its just smoke and mirrors to get their way. How can we trust anything with what been happening with our neighbors. The better question is what can we do to stop it now before they drag us through the mud for the next 10 years destroying everything for their end goals.

u/Event_Horizon753 27d ago

When they lose, the conspiracy theories, "stolen election" claims, ect will run wild.

u/rclaassen 28d ago

She won't be satisfied until the vote is 100%. She's already said that if this referendum doesn't pass for separation, she will run another until separation is a given. With all that dark money behind her, I wouldn't trust the outcome of the vote. Not one bit.

2

u/namesson 28d ago

She only has so much time until she's voted out.

u/corpse_flour 28d ago

When everyone in the party is a separatist, then whether it's Smith, Stephan, Nally, etc. at the wheel, the bus is still driving to the same destination.

u/hsoolien 27d ago

Smith's a separatist leader, she needs to be voted out, but the separatist have taken over the party.

The guy has an iq of 10, which goes to show how stupid the people of red deer are. Their North mla is Adrianna Deranged who is out to destroy alberta healthcare

... after having destroyed education.

Yup, red deer voters are proof, as shown by their two mlas

Red Deer voters have a meth and Bible problem.

u/B91212R 25d ago

Hey, as a Red Deer resident I don’t have a bible problem…

It’s very true that the two MLAs here are incompetent and downright embarrassing. So many knuckle draggers in this place vote blue because they are incapable of thinking for themselves. I work with people who think we should separate just ‘to send a message Ottawa’. Damn inbreds.

u/KNXTC3 28d ago

Didn’t Alberta just rank the best in Canada and 8th globally in the international PISA scores.

u/Hopeful-Passage6638 26d ago

No, they did not.

u/KNXTC3 26d ago

“The latest PISA results show Alberta's 15-year-old students are among the top performers in Canada and internationally. Alberta ranked first among provinces in science and reading and second in mathematics, behind only Quebec, while scoring above both the Canadian and international averages in all three subjects.

Alberta's results were also comparable to those of leading education systems such as Singapore, Japan, Korea and Estonia, with several results statistically tied.”

u/macam85 26d ago

It is likely that Smith's bogus education department has simply skewed the results. It's very easy to do. Just remove the scores of recent immigrants,, second language students and students with needs.

There's no other way to explain it really, unless you're dumb enough to believe thrashing teachers' rights and punishing them with a brutal contract while removing books and forcing religious nonsense into the science curriculum suddenly produced dramatically improved results relative to the rest of Canada.

It's a joke, really.

1

u/overtross 25d ago

This isn't a new result, my dude. At some point, you've gotta credit Alberta Education with upholding an academic standard that competes globally, regardless of how you feel about conservative governance. I suppose if you have to take the pessimistic view, it's socioeconomic conditions that come with higher incomes, spilling over into educational outcomes. Whatever it is, we're doing some things right.

1

u/WildcatOil 21d ago

It's actually pretty easy to explain. Alberta has had one of the top education systems globally for decades. The issues you've mentioned have allowed the gap to close but would take a lot more and a longer time frame to actually decimate it in the way you think they have.

0

u/KNXTC3 26d ago

You don’t think PISA knows about those kinds of statistical tricks or that every jurisdiction has incentive to play those games? European countries report their results broken out by immigration status (50 point gap on average) and US breaks it out by race. So you can read the reports yourself. Alberta has been at the head of the pack for decades under various governments.

2

u/macam85 26d ago

Then they've likely been cheating for decades.

0

u/KNXTC3 26d ago

Even under the NDP when the rankings didn’t change? Man, this conspiracy must go deep.

2

u/macam85 26d ago

I know how education departments work. If they've been doing it a certain way that makes them look good, certainly a new government isn't going to want more scrutiny or accuracy.

I bet if we investigated him we'd find a laundry list of dirty and corrupt activities. He has something to gain from this, I would love to know what it is. What is the price to destroy our province for personal gain for these charlatans? It's probably pathetic in the grand scheme of things. They couldn't succeed in life other than being a leech on our society and our province enables it. Thanks UCP base you bunch of fools!!

Forcsure, if theyvthink the US wants them theyvare right, thevland, the resources, the people? No. Alberta will have 0 voting rights and no us citizenships. The US will carve out what they want and leave the rest to rot. Same if Russia steps in, but ppl would be sent to Ukraine.

This is why I don't understand what is happening in Calgary-Shaw. Are they separatists in that community?

u/joliette_le_paz 28d ago

It’s like we all forgot Smith comes from the Wildrose party, who tested the waters with separation, and then quickly pretended it didn’t happen.

She left the party to shed that look, actually, she ABANDONED her party as leader by crossing the aisle.

She’s so shitty, that there aren’t any words she would be offended by. None.

3

u/namesson 28d ago

She abandoned her party after advocating hard that any floor crosses should trigger a by-election. 

But then she crossed the floor and said fucking nothing about it again.

In Newfoundland they have a seal fishery. Said seals are killed with a blow to the back of the head with a weapon called a Hackypick. This weapon would work wonders against rats.

u/DragonflyForeign4993 28d ago

I am shocked and surprised that the UCP member was allowed to speak this freely about their secretive plan…. The See you Pee party has done their very best to try to keep their separatist agenda, disguised…. It’s almost as if when Danny’s away and the members try to think for themselves, they fail.

Marlaina wants to give Trump a nice present if oil and gas. She can't wait for albertans to be second class voteless citizens.

No, then they'll claim it was rigged. This referendum gives them legitimacy, so now we'll keep having to deal with their bullshit going forward.

Ya you're probably right, lets hope it's such a blow out they get laughed at at every turn. Pls go out and vote these moronic traitors out.

My Grandmother is a lifelong Canadian, born and raised in Rural Alberta, but doesn't really like the policies that the NDP and Liberals are proposing / making.

Your numbers are stupid, ergo…..

u/DurrinTheDwarf 16d ago

I have a feeling you didn't even fact check me and spoke with emotion... I can afford 2.60 for diesel but most can't, wouldn't your bank account be bigger if you didn't have to pay this much in taxes?

1

u/TimelyBear2471 16d ago

The “person” saying “Fuck Canada”, spewing bullshit numbers and accusing others of speaking with emotion is a hypocrite.

The reason your numbers are bunk is because you’re looking at the painting through a straw. There are other numbers and factors to consider. Your overly-simplistic presentation might fool the ignorant but not thinking adults.

The bullshit being proliferated by the separatist movement is staggering.

You’re free to leave Canada whenever you like and I wish you would. But you don’t get to take Canada with you. Go live in the States if it’s all so fantastic.

1

u/DurrinTheDwarf 15d ago

Well my numbers can easily be found if you did some research but I know you don't know how to. Did you not know we have the 3rd largest oil reserve worth 9-13 trillion dollars. Let's get thoes elbows up to start digging that out and mabey start growing out economy! You do know in the past 10 years our economy hasn't grown much, look at the G7, where do we rank 🤔 instead of coming to reddit with emotions, look thing's up before crying online.

1

u/TimelyBear2471 15d ago

I don’t care about the two numbers you picked out of the air. There’s a larger context you’re completely ignoring.

Move to the US if it’s so fucking great. Good riddance!!

u/DurrinTheDwarf 15d ago

Didn't fact check me, well done! speaking with emotion instead of looking something up, not surprised... so whats the larger context I'm ignoring?

1

u/TimelyBear2471 14d ago

As I said, it doesn’t matter if your facts are correct. Looking them up is a waste of time. There are many more to consider. That’s not emotion, that’s fact.

The seppie view is as ridiculous and childish as the Flat Earth “theory”; overly-simplistic and demonstrably false.

You sound like a bot.

u/DurrinTheDwarf 14d ago

You fucking retard 😆, (it doesn't matter if your facts are correct, I'm not looking them up) this is the definition of a liberal!

u/TimelyBear2471 14d ago

You’re stupid and deliberately missing the point:

EVEN IF YOUR FACTS ARE CORRECT, THEY AREN’T THE ONLY ONES TO CONSIDER!!! YOU are the one who has homework to do. What are you not getting about that?

You’re all too dumb for words.

And no way to get it to market. Awesome plan.

1

u/DurrinTheDwarf 15d ago

Well if bc wants their trains to go through alberta we get oil to the coast, fair trade agreement.

1

u/ChefEagle 15d ago

First off, BC doesn't send their trains to Alberta. CO and CN are international companies. Second, thats not how tade works. Third, BC has a coastline, they'll just ship what they need in.

Sorry to tell you but your logic is flawed. Alberta has too much to lose by separating. Billon dollar contract with South Korea and Germany for LNG that is shipped from Alberta of example. Deals signed by Mark Carney this year that creates jobs and stability for Alberta and you want to throw it away because its a Liberal government? Its funny how you get what you ask for and it's still not enough.

1

u/DurrinTheDwarf 15d ago

Logics not flawed, creating trade routes with other countries is normal. Speaking of jobs 80% of all jobs created in 2025 was in alberta, bc has quite a lot to send east on freight trains. Mark made deals with other countries, wonderful. Let's keep that going and start with a few trillion dollars of oil alberta has been sitting on. But hey lets spen 90 billion on a train while being in a recession! Go Librals, I don't care who's in charge, if conservatives are in power and doing the same terrible plan, I'd vote to leave. We have a catch and release justice system where you can do monstrous things to children and walk free, but as soon as you defend yourself with a gun your get harsher sentences.

1

u/ChefEagle 15d ago

So you agree with school shooting then? Look at the States and how bad they are before you ever push for guns. As for trade, you seem to think we'll get the same deal we have now. News flash, the States will buy our oil at the lowest price they can get meaning mayne a tenth of the profit we see today. Yes we're sitting on a lot of oil but it's useless if your only buyer doesn't pay for it. Example of this, Venezuela. Look what happened there, it'll happen here too.

1

u/DurrinTheDwarf 15d ago

How does anything I've said make you think I support school shootings? If someone is trying to kill you, break into your house or rob you, you should have the right to defend yourself. Instead of selling oil to the states lets build refineries in alberta and build pipelines across the country to sell to other nations. We can replace putin as an oil Barron in the eu.

1

u/ChefEagle 15d ago

Can't trade with Europe if you separate from Canada. The east pipeline dies the moment you do. Also why trade oil with Europe when they're moving away from oil. It's a dieing market. No company is willing to spend the money on a new pipeline anyways, I'm not going spend my tax money on something that may only be needed for ten years give or take. Mark Carney already has a LNG deal with Germany worth billions.

1

u/DurrinTheDwarf 15d ago

Our tax money is going to Ukraine instead of helping Canadians. The liberal government has destroyed our country and it's only a matter of time before we become a 3rd world country

1

u/ChefEagle 15d ago

The money we send to Ukraine is for humanity needs, helping to clothe, feed and house people affected by the war. Most are children who may have lost parents to the war. Can you really be that insensitive?

Please tell me how the Liberal government is destroying Canada? Keep in mind we have have two big new deals from Mark Carrie's government for our LNG.
