@sphillipsab.bsky.socialBrilliant stuff here that adds to the No to the Nine campaign for the Alberta referendum
@carastern.bsky.socialReposted by @sphillipsab.bsky.socialOverriding local decisions that allow for more housing supply makes zero sense. Watching a conservative government add heavy regulation to free-market housing supply is simply mind-boggling.
@sphillipsab.bsky.socialGood stuff here from the Leader of @albertandp.ca about this crucial Thanksgiving weekend and the last push before the Advance Poll for the referendum next week.
@sphillipsab.bsky.socialYes - talked about this in this week’s @balanceofpowerpod.ca - an initiative of the Strategists Media Corp!
@sphillipsab.bsky.socialHere’s a gift link to the Globe and Mail investigation about American interference in the Alberta referendum, and the separatist operatives (one of whom is a UCP President) who went to the United States to offer them our water and oil.
@sphillipsab.bsky.socialIt’s the overwhelming consensus of those who study human biology that Standard Time better aligns with our circadian rhythm. This issue drives me crazy.
@sphillipsab.bsky.social@sphillipsab.bsky.socialThere’s a mountain of evidence that Standard Time better aligns with circadian rhythm. It’s not even close, and it’s not new evidence, either. It’s just that dingdongs like Danielle Smith think they know better than the overwhelming scientific consensus.
@sphillipsab.bsky.socialThe time change option chosen unilaterally by Danielle Smith, in the face of overwhelming evidence supporting Standard Time, will cause health harms for those in northern AB, specifically. Imagine being a parent in Peace River with a sunrise closer to 10am. Mental/physical health harms, etc.
@sphillipsab.bsky.socialNew ads just dropped - There’s a poll out tomorrow via CBC that apparently shows the UCP down. That’s because Danielle Smith’s catering to separatists is unpopular, and the closer we get to Oct 19, the more people are (rightfully) blaming her for this debacle. No to the Nine.

@sphillipsab.bsky.socialJust over here grateful we aren’t having a referendum about accommodation
@senatorpaulasimons.bsky.socialReposted by @sphillipsab.bsky.socialMonday, September 21st. A month till Albertans vote on a multiple choice separation ballot AND nine other racist/useless questions. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at fighting the noxious nine, with @carterab.bsky.social, @jaredwesley.ca & Avnish Nanda of @ouralbertadvantage.bsky.social. #cdnpoli

@sphillipsab.bsky.socialI cannot fathom why we wouldn’t want to preserve this piece of Canadian history.
@sphillipsab.bsky.socialThis is a great idea!
@thetyee.caReposted by @sphillipsab.bsky.socialJim Stanford: “This claim of interprovincial subsidization is completely false. Alberta pays no money to Quebec, or to any other province. The Alberta government, like other provinces, receives huge transfers from Ottawa to help pay for health care and other programs.”
@sphillipsab.bsky.socialI do not! I work in other areas now!
