@notabot1.bsky.social:
We reject the premise of these questions
@senatorpaulasimons.bsky.social:
Exactly.
@laurieinyyc.bsky.social:
This is the first time I have listened to your podcast, but it won’t be the last. Fantastic episode!
@senatorpaulasimons.bsky.social:
Thank you! We have a pretty great back list, if you’ll allow me to say so – politicians and poets, academics and artists, the authentic voices of the Alberta I love.
You might particularly enjoy the episodes with singer and environmental champion Corb Lund, graphic novelist Kate Beaton, and metabolomics researcher David Wishart.
I gave up on Nenshi long ago, he’s mostly everything Smith is, but male and not in power. He’s just controlled opposition in my view. Alberta’s never had real opposition; NDP only got in because the con vote was split between the haters and super haters. The American rich will never allow this happen to again.
Of course Nazi Smith is a fucking separatist. She’s a lying dictator anti-democracy Harper IDU pawn and wants to be Governor of the 51st state so that she can lick Trump’s balls all day and night long.
Danielle Smith is an educated white privileged idiot, she’s not even in control of herself, FFS! The hate-fill extremist “christian” inhumane TBA owns her.
This summarizes her questions:
@senatorpaulasimons.bsky.social:
No. No. Nine times no! Five very smart Albertans on why we need to call out these 9 referendum questions for what they are. And why we all have a role to play in speaking out.
IMPORTANT LISTEN AT LINK: Just Say No: 9 questions, 5 voices 54 Min. by Alberta Unbound, Mar 23, 2026
Political scientists Melanee Thomas and Yasmeen Abu-Laban, political strategists Ken Boessenkool and Zain Velji, and constitutional lawyer Patricia Paradis, dive into the nine referendum questions and how Albertans should respond.
Here are the nine referendum questions below:
1. Do you support the Government of Alberta taking increased control over immigration for the purposes of decreasing immigration to more sustainable levels, prioritizing economic migration and giving Albertans first priority on new employment opportunities?
My answers are all in caps below
NO!!!!
2. Do you support the Government of Alberta introducing a law mandating that only Canadian citizens, permanent residents and individuals with an Alberta-approved immigration status will be eligible for provincially funded programs, such as health care, education and other social services?
NO!!!!
3. Assuming that all Canadian citizens and permanent residents continue to qualify for social support programs as they do now, do you support the Government of Alberta introducing a law requiring all individuals with a non-permanent legal immigration status to reside in Alberta for at least 12 months before qualifying for any provincially funded social support programs?By the word, “assuming” is Smith (along with Team Harper Carney) indicating her Nazis plan to take away social support programs for all Albertans, even white extreme religious bigots, not just immigrants?
NO!!!!
4. Assuming that all Canadian citizens and permanent residents continue to qualify for public health care and education as they do now, do you support the Government of Alberta charging a reasonable fee or premium to individuals with a non-permanent immigration status living in Alberta for their and their family’s use of the health care and education systems?
“Assuming” indicating that Smith intends to completely destroy public education and health care for all Albertans, even white con bigoted hate-filled religious ones, not just immigrants?
NO!!!!!
5. Do you support the Government of Alberta introducing a law requiring individuals to provide proof of citizenship, such as a passport, birth certificate, or citizenship card, to vote in an Alberta provincial election?
ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY NO NO NO!!!!
And do not force us into digital fucking citizenship-exposing driver licences either, which would put us all at great risk of identity fraud and others harms.
THIS SMITH SHIT IS PUSHING US TOWARDS DIGITAL ID WHICH MEANS MASS SURVEILLANCE OF US, BY AMERICAN NAZI RACIST MISOGYNISTIC BIGOTED CHILD AND WOMAN ABUSING AI. NO NO NO!!!!
6. Have provincial governments, and not the federal government, select the justices appointed to provincial King’s Bench and Appeal courts?This is an intentionally badly worded confusing question to farm rage and hate. The feds have always appointed the judges on the higher courts in the provinces, provinces pick the provincial court judges. This MUST continue. I’ve lived in Alberta 44 years, and every year it’s been the most corrupt and hate-filled run jurisdiction in Canada. Move to the fucking Nazi states, if you hate Canada and our constitution so much.
NO!!!!
7. Abolish the unelected federal Senate?
NO!!!! Alberta is always whining about the Senate, like a fucking 5 year old that demands only ice cream for breakfast lunch and supper. The Senate is vital for reigning in bad laws.
An elected Senate would be corrupted by American oil and gas controlled con provinces like Alberta, SK and BC (the NDP there are a just another con party).
NO!!! NO!!! NO!!! to this rage-farming question.
8. Allow provinces to opt out of federal programs that intrude on provincial jurisdiction such as health care, education, and social services, without a province losing any of the associated federal funding for use in its social programs?
DOUCHE FUCKING MAGAt SMITH AND HER AMERICAN ASS-SUCKING NAZIS, as usual, want to take money from Canadians, while not providing Albertans the services that money is for, which fucking corrupt Alberta has already done for years with health care.
NO!!!!!
9. Better protect provincial rights from federal interference by giving a province’s laws dealing with provincial or shared areas of constitutional jurisdiction priority over federal laws when the province’s laws and federal laws conflict?
NO!!!!!!!
I my read, this is Harper, Smith and her Nazis copying Trump’s destruction of democracy in USA.
Where are the questions the majority of Albertans want?
Separate? Yes No?
Separate and join Nazi USA? Yes No?
Stay in Canada and shut the whining the fuck up. Yes No?
