Was this the plan all along? If @ABDanielleSmith puts Lukaszuk’s question on the ballot, the separatists will take her out as @Alberta_UCP leader by the end of summer, if not sooner. Now she can do whatever she wants.

Replying to @CarrieTait
And that means the committee did ** not ** recommend cabinet add the secession question to the referendum ballot. They ran out of time. No motion.

Shortly before this story went to bed, a spokesman told me Sylvestre did not literally mean much of what he said. I sent his team almost 30 fact checking questions and in at least 11, the spokesman said Sylvestre was speaking rhetorically, not literally.

I went home recently to write about Alberta’s separatists. What I found was a movement dangerously, wildly disconnected from what is real.

BREAKING (Rare use of that from me that isn't ironic.) So, @jengerson has got a story to tell, and it's genuinely shocking. I've known the outline of this for a few weeks now, but still. Reading it all woven together blew me away. What a major, major fuck up.

Two years in, Albertans are less impressed with Nenshi than they used to be. And Albertans of almost every type are more impressed with Danielle Smith.
