Today is the referendum. Worth remembering that as soon as it settles, Smith’s gerrymandering report is due and almost certainly will be made real. Wonder if they’ll at least wait until the vote to do the press release this time… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

BREAKING: Duncan Kinney has pleaded guilty to a count of mischief, admitting he spray painted a bust of Roman Shukevych with the words "Actual Nazi" at an Edmonton Ukrainian centre in 2021. He admits he then wrote an article about it, pretending someone else was responsible

I just voted in the referendum today, and I've been thinking about what we can do to help after the tragedy at CFB Wainwright. If you're able, please step up and donate blood or plasma. blood.ca

Did you know flu shots are available as of today in Alberta? You wouldn't be alone if you missed out on the news. Chatted with @CaulfieldTim about a rather quiet flu campaign rollout, continued vaccine hesitancy and the cost of worsening flu seasons. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcas…

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre appeared in the House virtually from Wainwright and said they must stand with the wounded and make sure they get the greatest care to save their lives and make them as rewarding as possible in the aftermath.

The PM said the cause of the fire at CFB Wainwright is still unknown. The Canadian Forces National Investigation Service is leading an investigation with the support of the RCMP, he said. 50 investigators are on the ground, he said.

There was a moment of silence in the House of Commons for the military members killed at CFB Wainwright while training. PM Mark Carney says the House meets today “united in grief.”

With a rumored one foot out the door before the session starts… Looks like another UCP MLA is saying the quiet part out loud. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Stay in Canada. No to the Nine. No to Danielle Smith.
Today you have a ballot in front of you. “Yes to the Nine” means Alberta gets a real say over our own immigration, so growth matches the housing, schools and hospitals we have to support it. It means temporary programs contribute to the services they use. It means constitutional reforms that protect this province's authority no matter who sits in Ottawa. Vote today. ✅ Vote for a stronger Alberta within a united Canada. ✅ Vote yes to the nine.

Alberta's Globe and Mail might reassign a reporter or two to outposts like Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver again one day. But until then, we're focused on what shapes this country. Wainwright coverage continues today and we will fire up our referendum blog shortly.
