Your personal information belongs to you. So, why is this government making it easier to expose, access and misuse it? Your health number is now on your driver’s licence. A cabinet minister improperly accessed confidential electoral information. The personal information of nearly 3 million Alberta voters was released. And Alberta is racing into an AI economy without comprehensive safeguards in place. The UCP talks a big game about freedom. But freedom is also about what government knows about you, who has access to it and what happens - if anything - when that trust is broken. Danielle Smith once said your private information should stay private. She was right. So, what happened to this Premier and why doesn’t her government practice what it preaches? On October 19, Albertans have an opportunity to send a message. Vote “NO” on the first nine questions and “YES” to Canada on Question 10. #alberta #abpoli #ableg #abtory #ucp #freedom

Regardless of your position on infill, look at the pattern with Danielle Smith and the UCP: ● Municipal elections: Give cabinet more power to remove elected councillors. ● Charter rights: Use the notwithstanding clause to remove Charter protections for individuals. ● Health procurement: their policy on procurement favours insiders with contracts and appointments. ● Political competition: Rewrite the rules to stop other parties from using “conservative” in their names. ● Jasper firefighting: They sought decision-making authority in an emergency they were not responsible for leading. ● Municipal bylaws: Give cabinet more power to override local decisions. ● School trustees: Restrict what elected boards can say about political and social issues. ●  Public libraries: Impose restrictions over what books people can read. ● Calgary: Considered a jurisdictional take over following the water-main failures. ● AI Data Centers: Push development while skipping consultation with residents. They demand respect for Alberta’s jurisdiction while overriding the authority of others. More power for thee. They treat disagreement as defiance, criticism as an attack, and independent institutions as obstacles. That is an increasingly authoritarian approach to government. If you can’t work with anyone you do not control, you have a leadership problem. #ableg #abpoli #abtory #alberta #ucp

What happens on October 20th? That may be the most important question before voting in the referendum. Because this isn't simply about the questions. It's about what the government intends to do with the answers. The UCP has moved away from unpopular battles over the CPP and RCMP and shifted the fight to immigration, justice, elections and federal-provincial powers. A favourable result gives them what they want: A new mandate to confront Ottawa and claim Albertans endorsed the fight. That's why this debate doesn't end on October 19. We could find ourselves voting again on separation while affordability, health care, education and our economy go unfixed. We deserve a government focused on results - not distractions. Less time picking fights. More time improving our lives. #abtory #abpoli #ableg #Alberta #Referendum #GoodGovernment #UCP
