#AlbertaElection2023 entirely ignoring #ClimateChange while #Alberta burned and #YYC experienced the thickest smoke of our entire existence was an omission so glaring it was reported all over the world. That's us making the wrong kind of news again & it took both of our major parties to do it. Speaks poorly about our perceived understanding or care about Climate's severity/urgency

Mandatory climate policy around the #CarbonTax was again used as a political cudgel this election. Having survived quixotic constitutional challenges #AlbertaElection2023 could've been the time for a fulsome debate on provincial rather than federal control of Alberta's carbon tax revenues. That didn't happen.

🧵 Looking forward to our next show with #SethKlein to apply #ClimateEmergencyUnit's 6 Markers of the #ClimateEmergency (based on his book) to what we saw during #AlbertaElection2023. We can't get better if we don't even know where we are.

Couldn't agree more with this piece by Jeremy Appel.

"If you’re constantly attacking your opponent’s character but offering policies eerily similar to theirs, don’t expect to sway enough people to win an election. We’re electing politicians, not Saints."

"Winner-take-all has eroded Albertans voice and choice. We call on Premier Danielle Smith to enact a citizen's assembly on #ElectoralReform." #AlbertaElection2023

I don’t understand. But I’m going to start calling Albertans ‘Bertans, said like ‘Muricans.

Might have to move to Calgary or Edmonton because I'm sick of living among ignorant people #albertaelection2023

I’m sad to see the #Alberta election results. I feel Rachel Notley was the better choice. But that’s how #democracy works. We need to find a way to end the “us versus them” dialogue so prevalent during elections and build bridges that help all the people. #albertaelection2023 #cdnpoli

For those upset with the results of the #AlbertaElection2023, let me offer some perspective from an Older Wiser Lesbian.

I wasn't allowed to get married less than 20 years ago. That passed by one vote.

30 years ago, I could be fired just for being gay. It was also widely believed that gay people automatically got AIDS.

Now us meagre 3% of what used to be called "Kinsey 6s" are joined by a whopping 25% of youth who no longer identify as "straight".

Woke up this morning to see that Alberta is just fine with having a Q-Anon crazy person as Premier. Danielle Smith is unqualified to run a Wendy’s, but here she is - elected leader of a whole province. Unfortunately, this will just embolden the Buffalo Party fringe on the right in Saskatchewan as well. More battles with Ottawa on the way as Alberta pushes Western “sovereignty” and Saskatchewan dutifully follows along. #albertaelection2023 #alberta #saskatchewan

I also as the annoying pro-PR type person that I am and wonder aloud "what if this election had some form of PR?"

Whenever I see maps like this, I ask a question like that. Especially considering in the 20s-50s Alberta DID have STV-PR. I have no doubt that in suburban and even rural areas had NDP supporters that feel unrepresented. Not sure how drastic the results would change, but my feelings on this grow stronger each election.

#albertaelection2023 #abpoli #ProportionalRepresentation #STV

I would like to take a moment to express my condolences to my fellow Canadians in Alberta. It's very frustrating to see the result (and I'm sure that's a huge understatement).

I will choose to be some what optimistic and point out as some have that NDP did at least grow ground, and shows a shift, if slight, of a trend towards rejecting growing right wing sentiments. Let's just hope that trend continues.
