Her goal posts won't stop moving until her poll numbers do #Alberta, or she's FORCED to call an election, not until each and every one of us is under the thumb of the #UnitedStates and she's governor of the #51stState

Until she's replaced by an #American anyway...

With Albertans voting October 19, Premier Danielle
Smith won't say what level of support would
constitute a mandate for nine of the referendum's
ten questions.
Instead, Smith says she'll assess the results
AFTER Albertans have voted.
I'm sorry. WHAT?
We're spending millions asking Albertans to vote,
but the government won't explain what constitutes
enough public support to act?
Will 50% plus one be enough?
What if only 30% of eligible voters participate?
What if a question receives 60% support, but
turnout is extremely low?
These are rather important questions.
And here's what makes this interesting
Smith has previously referenced 50% plus one
when discussing the separation-related question.
So why can't she explain whether that same
standard applies to the other nine?
Now, let's be clear.
The referendum is non-binding. The results don't
automatically change laws, and the government
isn't legally required to implement proposals
receiving majority support.
Some questions would also require Ottawa's
cooperation or constitutional amendments Alberta
cannot accomplish alone.But that's precisely why the government should
explain how it intends to interpret the results.
Because frankly, Smith's refusal raises another
question.
Does she intend to respect the results, or has she
already decided what she wants to do regardless
of how Albertans vote?
To be fair, governments can reasonably consider
turnout, the size of the majority and whether a
proposal is legally achievable.
But those considerations can be explained
BEFORE the vote.
Without clear criteria, Smith is leaving herself
considerable discretion to interpret the results,
however she wants, afterward.
And that should concern people on BOTH sides.
Albertans are spending millions on this
referendum. They deserve a straight answer.
You don't wait until AFTER the game to explain
how the scoring works. (l know a sports analogy: I
feel so masculine)
So, should Smith establish clear criteria BEFORE
October 19, or are you comfortable letting the
government decide what your vote means AFTER
it's counted?

Canada says: 51st state? "No Way, Eh!"

Canada says "Poor, Poor, Pitiful You." No animation, but the song is great.

If you want to come to Canada ever again you will never say #GulfOfAmerica or #LakeAmerica or #MountMcKinley or #51stState.

We will see you lying in a ditch and say and do nothing. You are not a human. You are a biohazard.

Is that clear? Speak any of these threats we want you DEAD, not visiting.

Denmark said no.
We said "cool map though."

Welcome to the 51st state. Population: ice, helicopters, and one very committed real estate pitch.

#Smith and #Ford are DISASTROUS PREMIERS & their party in the house stink. #UCP is #wildrose #maverick #separatist #51stState. They are also crooked. #CorruptCare #Healthcare #twotier #publiceducation vs #charterschools
Ford and his crew are assholes.
Come on Canada. We NEED to shift the compass

The #EuropeanUnion has offered to make Canada an 'associate member'

This news has #DonaldTrump and his small army of supporters in Canada very upset!

I think I may have just figured out the correct response to #51ststate bullshit.

“Hey, Sasha, you’re in Canada, right? Y’all are gonna be the 51st state.”

“52nd.”

“Huh?”

“You’ll have to annex hell first.”

Hanson would be quite accepting of a Trump request to have us become the 51st state ...
she would see it as an honour

#Poilievre finally grew some BALLS and called out #Trump for attacking Canada's sovereignty.

Unfortunately for him, it's too little too late. He will never be prime minister.

🚨 He's at it again!

This time he posted a picture on Truth Social depicting the United States including all of North America, Central America, Iceland, Greenland and the Caribbean! More harmless Liberal "triggering" or something more?

Drop your take in the comments!

Canadians continue to boo the American national anthem at sporting events.

The friendly people of Canada are tired of Donald Trump's disrespect.
