ALBERTA NDP RELEASES NUMBER OF ELIGIBLE VOTERS IN LEADERSHIP RACE

85,144 members will be eligible to vote...
Amanda Freistadt, Chief Returning Officer for the Alberta NDP Leadership Race announced Sunday that 85,144 members will be eligible to vote for a new Alberta NDP leader.

“This leadership race is an historic moment for the Alberta NDP. Voters from all walks of life and all regions of the province joined the Alberta NDP because they are excited to support our party in forming the next government,” said Freistadt.

Eligible voters are required to have been members in good standing by the membership sales deadline of April 22. The leadership race was initiated in January when Rachel Notley announced she would step down when a new leader is selected, after a decade as the party’s leader. Shortly after, the party’s provincial council set the rules and timelines for the race.

An independent voting company will conduct the election on behalf of the party. The winner will be determined by a ranked choice ballot.

Ballots and voting information will be mailed to members via Canada Post at the end of May. Voting members will have the option to vote online, by telephone, or by returning their ballot through Canada Post to the voting company. Voting opens June 3 and all ballots must be received by June 22 at 12 PM. The party will announce the new leader at the Hyatt Regency Suites in Calgary on the afternoon of June 22.

Berta Dad nailed it. Copied from FB.
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.

REPORT: UN Climate Scientists Flip on the Climate Doomsday Narrative | Stand on Guard CLIP

WATCH Have they been lying about climate change this whole time? Are they cancelling climate change doomsday scenario for the data centers?

The UN climate scientists admit the high emission doomsday scenarios were overblown. UN climate change scientists flip: climate change not too bad anymore according to a new report. No doomsday on the horizon.

On this Stand on Guard clip, we question why the UN might be backtracking on previous dire predictions, suggesting a new agenda at play. We examine how this shift could be tied to the proliferation of data center construction and the increasing demands on our power grid from artificial intelligence. It's crucial to consider the broader implications for our communities and hold big tech accountable.
