The Province Wide Day of Protest on Friday, May 29th in Edmonton includes BOTH a Solidarity Walk from 8am-10pm from the Walterdale Bridge with friends from Public Interest Alberta and other community members fostered during the fall 2025 teachers' strike to recapture the solidarity between teachers, parents, grandparents, and students,
- AND -
A march downtown at 11:15am from Centennial Plaza, south of the Stanley A. Milner Library, to east of the Edmonton Convention Centre where 600 healthcare workers will be rallying until 1pm.
Please plan to attend both or either rally. For the Solidarity Walk, please Wear Red for Public Ed, or yellow for Fight Back Now! For the downtown march, please wear yellow and consider bringing signs and noisemakers to both.
I may wear red to both because I don't think I own anything yellow, lol.

'Citizens need to demand major course correction to reverse the “chaos unfolding in our province”. In the wake of the latest separatist outrage, the president of Alberta’s largest worker advocacy group says it’s time to move “from anger to action and from demonstration to disruption.”'

“Jen Gerson, a political columnist based in Calgary, said ‘this all feels like an episode of Veep: that sense of surreality and disconnection from reality. The problem is, you’ve got a political class here in Alberta that’s tactically really smart, but strategically idiotic.’”
++++++++++++++++
“‘The separatist people have no genuine plan for what happens on day two. They have no plan for what happens if they get a 50/50 vote. It’s that dog that chases the car – and what happens when it finally catches it?’ said Gerson. ‘We’ll get yet another tactically brilliant, strategically idiotic move to further this crisis even more.’”

"On Thursday, Premier Danielle Smith managed to confuse and piss off pretty much everyone in the province by announcing that on Oct. 19, Albertans will be asked to vote on whether they want to vote in another referendum at some unspecified later date."

#DanielleSmith & the #UCP focus on this BS cuz #politics ... instead of #Alberta economic woes (which their #neoliberal #oilandgas centric policies have made things worse for most of us)
The psychopath leading the #UCP and separatism movement in #Alberta along with her #GOPNorth #Christofascist pals haven't a clue what they are leading #Albertans into. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/can-a-province-seperate-from-canada-9.7209415
With the possibility of two separation referendums on the horizon, Canadians could be forgiven for wondering what would happen if voters in one province or another decide they no longer want to be a part of Canada. Here's what the law says would happen.
