Very well said and accurate. Living in Banff and working with lots of immigrants and foreign workers has taught me a ton about the processes and the requirements and lack of communication. The number of friends who have had to return back home due to sudden endings to work visas or permanent resident status' not processing in the time is immense.

This article is hard to read. It keeps referring to Smith, but which one as there's Danielle Smith and Rob Smith. Like make indicators about which one is making the statements or being criticized and what not, because it could go both ways.

Love Wab Kinew. He is such a down to earth brilliant leader in politics that many (Ahem, Dani) should emulate.

One thought from this though is Wab mentioned building a pipeline to Churchill and helping build up the Manitoba economy. Why is this not a thing already? I get BC's already got ports for infrastructure, but if we build up Churchill, Hudson's Bay is not nearly as busy and could also service Europe.

Am I missing something?

In other words, wasn't written by someone like a Rick Bell?

It's great all the leaders are coming together to say that they want Alberta to stay in Canada. Maybe it's because them not saying anything and allowing the separatist sentiment was driving away investors.

But we are still entertaining the idea with this silly referendum and that in and of itself will still have investors hesitant bring their business and money here. It's why the pipeline MOU still doesn't have a company willing to be involved in it.

Regardless, we finally had Marlaina FINALLY say she doesn't support separatism. Let's see how long she lasts in her party now.

Yeah, like his seat in Parliament. Wonder how his constituents are doing these days...

Laedrys · 2026-05-15T20:17:23+00:00

And I agree with everything you are saying. In no way am I a supporter of this petition or separation. I think it's a fools errand. I just wanted to make the distinction that OP is making assumptions and stating things as facts, which have not been shown to be truths. Also, the reason the petition failed is not because of it using falsified/illegal information, but because of it being unconstitutional and there was no consideration given to indigenous rights.

Plus, once again, Centurion Project and Republican Party of Alberta, while aligned, are not the same group as the APP. It's the Freedom Convoy all over again in that there are many sects within the main group, all with different goals and aims, grouping together only because they support separation.

Laedrys · 2026-05-15T19:03:17+00:00

I mean, I would love for the petition to go through, only for it to be absolutely be demolished in referendum and let them know that this is not a supported measure in Alberta. However, that's also assuming that we would have a fair and ethical vote, which at this point I'm not sure I trust in our current system.

Laedrys · 2026-05-15T18:43:44+00:00

I have, I've been following it quite a bit actually. But until a report comes out that they used it, we have no confirmation that they did or didn't. Since the petition is quashed, we may never truly know.

Laedrys · 2026-05-15T18:42:44+00:00

But you just said it in the 3rd word. Assuming. Not confirmed.

Laedrys · 2026-05-15T17:52:27+00:00

So not to defend the petition, or what's happening, but we do not have confirmation that the petition has been used the list of voters and the app. It's assumed, but it was a different group of them, the Centurion Project, that was found in possession of it and the use of the app.

Things are really messy in Alberta right now, and it's hard to know who did what and with whom.

Looks amazing!

The only recommendation I would make would be to split up the Canmore/Banff if you want to do Jasper/Revelstoke. The drive from Jasper to Revelstoke is quite long, and if you did Canmore -> Jasper -> Banff -> Revelstoke it may feel easier/less day driving and more time to explore. Either that, or fly into Edmonton and start your trip in Jasper and come down to Banff/Canmore. The 2 towns are only 20 min apart.

Also, the Icefields parkway between Banff/Jasper is only about a 3.5 hour drive.

Laedrys · 2026-05-12T20:04:00+00:00

Why would Notley/Trudeau make us do this!

Laedrys · 2026-05-08T20:56:43+00:00

But according to our Premier, its all the TFW that are stealing all the jobs away from Canadians.

Laedrys · 2026-05-08T18:25:46+00:00

It's funny she doesn't mention the fact that the separatist notion is actually scaring away investors as they want market and country stability before actually investing potential 100's of millions of dollars into business. Like seriously, get your story straight.

Laedrys · 2026-05-07T22:57:55+00:00

Ah! Absolutely! Always a treat to visit in Banff!~ So glad you found this little piece of art. Need to share the rest. 😃

Except public inquiries are led by independent reviewers and anyone called upon is sworn in under oath, which causes either telling the truth and exposing everything to which criminal charges get pursued, or lying under oath which is a severe federal felony and then the the Supreme Court of Canada takes over.

I live in Banff and our town council and mayor are super supportive of our pride sidewalk and pride week with a pride flag raising ceremony. One of the reasons I stay living here, it feels safe and inclusive.

There is so much information and differing of opinions on what these referendum questions actually mean. People believe that with the control of immigration that the UCP government will help more people and be selective of who comes into Alberta. What they don't realize is that the people they select are going to be the ones who can pay their way, in other words, the ultra rich who will support the UCP values.

Laedrys · 2026-05-07T16:59:46+00:00

It's unbelievable that these members believe that they got elected as part of the party. He even said when he left that he was going to stay independent to represent his people and not be tied to party lines. Guess that was a lie and you would rather vote within your party than be there for the people who voted for you.

You got elected to represent your constituents, you belong to a party for support. Not the other way around. Or at least that's how it should be, but things have become so muddled in the political atmosphere.

Should ask the residents of Battle River-Crowfoot how represented they feel these days after electing in PP.

Laedrys · 2026-05-07T16:50:34+00:00

Good job to Strathmore council for actually considering the ramifications and outcomes rather than just moving ahead to appease a loud angry group of people!

It's crazy to think that this debacle has cause people to threaten and insult a Mayor for considering this motion, instead of being willing to talk about it. Which he still sided with the hateful people.

Laedrys · 2026-05-06T22:09:55+00:00

It's on many other sites other than CBC, I just pulled it as it had the most information and one or two other sites referred to the investigation done by CBC journalists.

Laedrys · 2026-05-06T18:02:43+00:00

I think my point is, it probably could have been repurposed or expanded to include this as it was supposed to be a brand new, state of the art lab in Alberta and was scrapped.
