All hands on deck until Danielle Smith's manufactured, self-serving crisis is abated.

Chiwetel Ejiofor is an tour de force & isn't nearly appreciated enough. That's the tweet.

That seems a bit bigger than yesterday's effort by the separatists... #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Very bad news for separatists
Wow. 43.1% of all eligible voters have already cast a ballot in Alberta's referendum. (837k in advance polls, 519k by special ballot). With 1,356,873 votes already, the total is likely to blow past the 1,763,441 ballots cast in the 2023 provincial election.

"What followed was one of the worst tragedies for the forces on Canadian soil in peace time." Prime Minister Mark Carney says four CAF members are dead and dozens more are seriously injured following a fast moving fire at CFB Wainwright.

A serious incident creating a major fire has occurred at CFB Wainwright, in Alberta. Our thoughts are with all the brave women and men affected.   We are working closely with the Government of Alberta and local authorities. Premier Smith and I are in close contact as are our relevant ministers and officials.

The separatists are trying to give the impression that the vote is already lost. Don't listen. Get out and vote.

When did Trudeau lower Alberta's Citizen Initiative petition threshold? When did Trudeau direct Smith to set up this referendum in the first place? This is Danielle Smith's referendum. She should wear this for the rest of her political career. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli
I’m really tired of the endless chorus line of CBCNN panelists blaming AB Premier Danielle Smith for this referendum. Alberta is having a referendum because of a) Justin Trudeau and b) Laurentian Canada’s steadfast refusal to treat Alberta as a respected member of the Canadian family. Period.

Enough of this lie. Yes, separation is on the ballot. When you vote for anything besides Option 1, you are voting for separation. You are saying, "we need another referendum." Just because separatism is unpopular doesn't change facts Vote Option 1. #ablsg #abpoli #cdnpoli
I call BS on this. First, separation is not on the ballot. Second, I'm OK with this. Doctors who want to impose their ideological beliefs on their patients would struggle to find patients in a truly free Alberta. Third, other doctors who value a free society would flock to Alberta.

Form your own separatist party and run in a general election.
Jeffrey Rath: "Next time around, we'll have a leader that believes in independence in charge of the UCP. We'll see how it goes when there isn't a premier in office that's rigging the outcome of the referendum."

“If turnout is 40 per cent or below, I think they could actually win," said Kenney. What does Elections Alberta anticipate turnout to be? Between 80 & 85%. No, the separatists aren't winning. This is because Albertans love Canada & will fight for it. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Donald Trump can kiss my big, fat Canadian ass. It'll be a cold day in hell before Canada ever becomes a US state. This is also a great reason for Albertans to vote to stay in Canada! Trump would annex Alberta within seconds of any claim to independence. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Wherein Mitch Sylvestre says on tape that Dani knew about the separatists negotiating with the US before they even left the province… And her press secretary doesn’t even deny it. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
An interesting update in the separatist discussion. Mitch Sylvestre told Separation Anxiety back in March that he met with the premier before his September trip. Link to podcast: pod.link/6811266682

If voter turnout ends up being as high as 80 per cent or more, the separatists are going to lose this referendum badly. Their only hope was counting on federalist Albertans to not show up for their country. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli
Elections Alberta forecasts a voter turnout of between 80 and 85 per cent compared to an average turnout of just over 55 per cent for the last five provincial elections. #ableg #abpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/loc…

Trump says he's going to rename either the Atlantic or Pacific as the Trump Ocean

Okay,honestly? This was incredible. It's obviously hilarious, but the back & forth, slipping between his mask as Bruce & himself as Batman within seconds? Peak Batman IMO. Adam West rules.
This was also a great Adam West Batman moment
