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.

Sounds like Covid & Control all over again! This guy makes sense……

THIS IS NOT A DRILL: Governments Are Pushing 72-Hour Self-Sufficiency - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!!

Governments across the West and beyond are suddenly pushing the same message: prepare to survive at least 72 hours without power, water, or outside help.

Canada, the UK (“Be Ready”), France, Japan, and Europe’s Preparedness Union Strategy are all amplifying household self-sufficiency campaigns at the same time, often framed around cyberattacks, geopolitical tension, and cascading disasters.

This isn’t old advice recycled.

It’s a coordinated, high-volume push.

While practical preparedness (food, water, go-bags, skills, and local mutual aid) has always made sense, the synchronized timing raises questions.

These campaigns can later serve as a ready-made excuse if systems fail longer than expected, shift blame onto individuals, normalize disrupted normalcy, and condition people to wait for the next official instructions.

The same...
