It represents everything I love about Alberta. When I see this flag, I see the river valley, Prince's Island Park, I see rolling plains and lush forests. I see the hoodoos and the mountains. I see home. I see Alberta. I see Canada. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli15 Feb 2026 18:45 +0000at://did:plc:2zt7xi2ofixcwn5eolejyuhu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mew6yrcw2k24https://bsky.app/profile/bertatics.bsky.social/post/3meeohzleqc23I need to hammer home how important this is. Separatists have been waiting for years for this moment. People I never saw as separatist are spreading the petition like wildfire. We need to organize. We need brave people to step up & lead. For Alberta. For Canada. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli [contains quote post or other embedded content]08 Feb 2026 19:34 +0000at://did:plc:2zt7xi2ofixcwn5eolejyuhu/app.bsky.feed.post/3meeohzleqc23https://bsky.app/profile/bertatics.bsky.social/post/3mecxpp7ods2yProud Albertans who love Canada - also known as "Federalists," need to start organizing. It doesn't matter what your political party, ideology, or beliefs are. This has to be the time where we start taking charge and getting ready. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli https://media.tenor.com/njSLLuuemKQAAAAC/we-cant-waste-more-time-kaz-brekker.gif?hh=498&ww=49808 Feb 2026 03:14 +0000at://did:plc:2zt7xi2ofixcwn5eolejyuhu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mecxpp7ods2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/bertatics.bsky.social/post/3mea7qurjtc2oIf I could travel back to January 2021 and show my younger self this paragraph, he would be absolutely horrified.

I encourage you to share it everywhere, with everyone. I'm a proud Albertan. I love this province, I love these people, & I love our flag. We must reclaim Alberta from authoritarianism! #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli https://open.substack.com/pub/drjaredwesley/p/what-can-we-do?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=2bf4w212 Dec 2025 18:54 +0000at://did:plc:2zt7xi2ofixcwn5eolejyuhu/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7sr74bti22nhttps://bsky.app/profile/bertatics.bsky.social/post/3m7nfczjs3s22Danielle Smith & the Notwithstanding clause in a nutshell. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli [contains quote post or other embedded content]10 Dec 2025 15:38 +0000at://did:plc:2zt7xi2ofixcwn5eolejyuhu/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7nfczjs3s22https://bsky.app/profile/bertatics.bsky.social/post/3m7kwpdiwvk2vDanielle Smith has just admitted on Real Talk w/ Ryan Jespersen that she is NOT a separatist, saying "yes" to @LukaszukAB's referendum question, "Do you agree that Alberta should remain within Canada?"

I'm sure there's a word for this. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli https://edmonton.citynews.ca/video/2025/12/08/quite-concerning-a-judge-experts-the-ndp-pan-alberta-bill-14/09 Dec 2025 14:20 +0000at://did:plc:2zt7xi2ofixcwn5eolejyuhu/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7kqi6nbgc2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/bertatics.bsky.social/post/3lza67p5dw22iA pretty startling claim, to be sure. I commute across the city almost daily, and I can attest to how prevalent the signs are. I've also personally seen multiple complaints of people finding Better Edmonton signs on their property w/o consent. The signs are everywhere. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli [contains quote post or other embedded content]20 Sep 2025 00:55 +0000at://did:plc:2zt7xi2ofixcwn5eolejyuhu/app.bsky.feed.post/3lza67p5dw22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/bertatics.bsky.social/post/3lwwdmta5x22vIT'S TOMORROW!!
