Shannon is correct (great link!). There are literally millions of ballots still to be counted - including the mail in ballots in the cities. #ABPoli
A lot of folks are being too premature on the outcome of the 9 Qs. Still a lot of ballots outstanding, especially on Questions 6-9 and especially special ballots. Media should take a chill pill, meantime.
Great data viz and results:

Why separatist UCP MLA Jason Stephan isn't running again. 70.4% of his constituents voted against his agenda.
Will the UCP replace him with another separatist? Will voters in Red Deer South trust them again or will they vote for @MichelleABaer? Can't wait to find out! #ABPoli
Separatist UCP MLA Jason Stephan…
(who couldn’t show up for his swearing in last election)
Has announced he won’t be showing up at all for the next election.

It takes a lot of white privilege to stand on this stolen, occupied continent and complain about immigration.

"Federalists are frustrated that this path was ever taken and that this distraction and its divisions were created throughout Alberta to resolve a political problem within the United Conservative Party." #ABPoli #CdnPoli

It has been 1,461 days since Danielle Smith promised to fix healthcare in 90 days.
(That's exactly 4 years today. Happy Anniversary!)
Imagine had she spent her time on this instead of catering to separatists and devising ways to fill Sam Mraiche's pockets! #ABPoli #ABHealth
Thank you, Alberta!
I’m very pleased to see the initial results from Elections Alberta show widespread support for remaining in Canada. Albertans have voted for a stronger Alberta in a united Canada.
Thank you to all Albertans who took time to vote on these critically important referendum questions.
Tomorrow evening, October 20, I will address Albertans live at 6:45 p.m. to discuss the results of all referendum questions for which results are available, and where our province goes from here.

Alberta 👏 does 👏 not 👏 make 👏 equalization 👏 payments.
Albertans pay the same federal tax rate as every other Canadian. Earn more, pay more.
I'm so tired of the manufactured outrage. So tired. #ABPoli #CdnPoli
In this segment @jengerson accurately describes how many of us feel. We love Canada. But listen/read this. This is it exactly. The rest of the country needs to pay attention to this sentiment podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcas…

Keith Wilson just hoped his side follows Trump and Brexit on national television. I hope Albertans prove him horribly wrong. If he's so confident in his position, he needs to put his name on a ballot. #ABPoli

Has anyone asked King Charles?
🤣📻 You can’t make this stuff up!
On referendum day, Mitch Sylvester apparently missed his interview on QR770! The producer called THREE times, and no answer! 📵😂
Of all the days to go MIA! Where’d you go, Mitch? 🤣

I want to applaud the @ElectionsAB social media team. They've been diligent about answering questions, disabusing misinformation, and have seemingly been working around the clock. Thank you! #ABPoli
Elections Alberta is not responsible for scrutineers and they do not work for us. They are appointed by the official political parties. If you have concerns about scrutineering, please contact the party that appointed you.

"Incumbent COPE Coun. Sean Orr won more votes than any other council candidate and will be joined by fellow COPE councillors Chloe Leslie, Devyani Singh, and Solomon Yi-Kieran."
vancouversun.com/news/munici…
Pete Fry has made a political deal with Sean Orr and COPE in his effort to become Mayor of Vancouver.
Sean Orr, who is part of this political coalition, has repeatedly shared controversial material online, including material containing racial slurs, opposition to women voting and anti-Muslim content.
Does Pete Fry think this is acceptable from someone he has chosen to politically align himself with?
Is this the kind of discourse Pete Fry accepts from the people and parties he has chosen to work with?
Pete Fry knows who Sean Orr is. He knows who COPE is. And he has made the decision to align with them politically.
Vancouverites can look at that decision and decide for themselves what it says about Pete Fry’s judgment.
