I have not posted the state of affairs here for a while because there's been no need. This group runs itself. There's no need for moderation or management of any sort.
In this day and age I find that amazing. We've accumulated a bit of money because some people are generously contributing and some are passing the word but I haven't distributed any since we did so the last time. There doesn't really seem to be a whole lot of income and so I've let it ride. I'm always open to suggestions but I still think that probably in spite of their flaws the Rebel News is one of the most deserving when we decide to distribute but there are so many others.
I personally contribute to some that I think are worthy and I trust that the rest of you do the same.
At any rate I'd like to thank you all for being here and being such interesting and polite people. I'd like to see more people contribute URLs but I suppose at some point this site could get to be too much to read.
Just thought I'd say thanks.

Jeff Rath’s behaviour toward Danielle Smith is not a good look for this movement, and he does not speak for me.
When this started, I had respect for him. But as this has played out, it has become harder to ignore what appears to be a push for power inside the movement, not a sincere focus on Alberta independence.
Danielle Smith is a major reason Albertans were even able to collect signatures in the first place. Compared to any other premier in this country, I believe she has been the strongest one standing up for her province.
I will not forget her accomplishments.
She stood up for parental rights when others wanted schools keeping parents in the dark.
She took action against political ideology being pushed in classrooms.
She made sure kids got back to school when the system tried to hold families hostage.
She has strengthened Alberta Sheriffs and continued exploring ways to free Alberta from relying on the RCMP.
And that is only part of it.

Listening to Ganum today on the meeting that Premier Smith is having with Lukasek I am wondering why not just have his referendum on the vote in October? If enough say no to his question isn't it the same as a referendum that the other side wants? I for one want this to wake up the East and don't care how it happens. Another caller said she needs to call an provincial election in October and take the rest of questions off the ballot - this could be risky but I am leaning toward it as terrified that the NDP will get in again and right now Nemshi is their handicap IMHO.
