Trump won with 32% of eligible voters.

On the contrary, FPTP is a gift to extremist minorities. That should be abundantly clear right now.

Have you tried the Internet Archive?

If they really wanted to get some insights into how the American right thinks there are other ways to do it (and it’s not hard, given that the American right has no problem in telling us exactly how they think). They certainly should not invite the guy to a closed-doors meeting with the cabinet, that we only find out about when he announces that he can’t attend. The first infuriating thing about this is that they invite him in the first place. The second is that they try to keep it secret from Canadians. Betrayal is perhaps too strong a word, but not by much.

The last thing the NDP needs is to fragment through various culture wars. This is fundamentally a workers’ party. Let’s keep our eyes on the ball.

There’s been a marked rightward shift in Canada’s political ecosystem, with the Conservatives going fascist, the Liberals becoming the true Conservative Party, and the NDP decimated by First Past the Post. I don’t think this reflects the population at all.

Actually I don’t need any of those things you mention. It may be a mistake to assume that Linux phones should imitate Google/Apple phones.

Actually no, the CBC is not covering the Israeli genocide as it should: https://breachmedia.ca/cbc-whitewashed-israels-crimes-gaza-firsthand/

No, this is not correct. Yhe question is exactly what it says and nothing more.

The two questions have already been defined. They are not going to change if they get enough signatures and it comes to a vote.

Absolutely not.

This is key: no, if we get enough signatures, the question “do you agree that Alberta should stay in Canada” goes to a vote, and regardless of the result, there is no second referendum as a result.

You have no control over what other people will do. You only have control over your own actions. Please sign.

There are two separate petitions. One asks, do you agree Alberta should stay in Canada? This is a consultation. If we get enough signatures it will go to a referendum. This is independent from the other question which is, do you think Alberta should leave Canada? This question may not even be constitutional. The Chief Electoral Officer has referred it to a judge. But if it is approved and they collect enough signatures, it also goes to a vote. But first we have to get enough signatures to make sure the “stay” question gets to be voted on.

I think the “leave” question is ill-posed. If you look at the question of the Quebec referendum, you’ll see that it was, do you agree that the government of Quebec should negotiate with Canada a separation agreement? Then if the answer was yes, Quebecers would vote again whether to separate in the conditions that were negotiated. To ask whether you want to separate without negotiating anything doesn’t make sense if you ask me. But that’s their problem. We need to establish once and for all that Albertans want to be Canadian forever and lay this whole thing to rest.

No, the question is exactly “Do you agree that Alberta should stay in Canada”. I am an official canvasser for the petition. It is a mistake to think that if you don’t sign there won’t be a referendum.

A sales tax is not progressive and it affects lower income people especially. A better option is to raise the corporate tax rate, which Jason Kenney lowered to 8% and the ANDP campaigned on raising to its previous level of 12% in 2023.

Obligatory both-sides-ism by the CBC, to compensate for the demolition job that Daneille Smith is experiencing at these “panels”. We used to joke about Fox News begin “fair and balanced” but the disease has spread everywhere.

If the “stay in Canada” petition gets enough signatures, that will be the question on the ballot. If it doesn’t get enough signatures and the “don’t stay in Canada” petition does, that will the question on the ballot. Bear in mind that because of the rules change by the UCP, the “don’t stay” petition has a lower threshold. The question for the “stay” petition is “Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?” If you agree, please sign. Every signature counts.

Danielle Smith is, and always has been, a shill for the oil corporations, which have no nationality.
