Vegreville’s Giant Pysanky - Easter Egg
WE have heard there is some confusion about our purpose. We are here to help Albertans recall their MLAs if they are not acting in your best interests. Here is a slide show that outlines how recalls work. ABResistance.ca Recalls. As part of our process, we started sharing information through our newsletters and research articles, as well as building community. Those are all ways to create the momentum to start the Recall Process in Constituencies.
Upcoming Events: See our short three-page ABR Resistor for Updates about upcoming events.

UCP Travels
Andrew Boitchenko, the Minister of Sports and Tourism, is off to Japan and South Korea for an 8-day trip - leaving August 28 and returning September 6.
Minister Nally, Minister of Red Tape -or as the Government labels it Red Tape Reduction is off to Kentucky to check out their Bourbon. (We have it on the shelves at Alberta Liquor stores, even when other provinces have taken it off) He is gone from Sept. 2 - 8.
Premier Danielle Smith is once again leaving town for pastures down south. She is headed to Denver, Colorado to a Board Meeting with the Energy Industry Leaders of American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers. Registration is by invitation only. The schedule of events, it sounds more like a luxurious 3 days away with one meeting scheduled on Sunday and a General Session scheduled for Tuesday. Check it out:
Their Schedule of Events https://www2.afpm.org/forms/meeting/Microsite/BOD25,1
Three elected officials out of Alberta. This makes 54 trips and 243 days that UCP MLAs have been outside of Canada. Dani has been gone for 35 days. They sit for 13 out of 52 weeks in the legislature. 13 weeks x 4 days (because they have Fridays off) = 52 days they are working for you at the legislature! They are not governing for Albertans when you look at what they are cutting for citizens and then have trips on our dime!
The legislature has been out since May 16, 2025. The last day of sitting was May 14, 2025, with a day to swear in new Ministers and to sign bills. It will be sitting again on October 27, 2025 - That’s 51 days/30 working days from September 5, 2025
The UCP Caucus is down 2 members and is now at 46. There are 38 NDP MLAs and 2 Independents.

Returning guest to this podcast, Danielle, shares what the changes in AISH mean to her and the community impacted with these changes.
Oil Wells - What’s the problem?
America (and Canada/Alberta) is being plagued by sickness, poisoned land, and even exploding homes — and the cause is millions of abandoned oil and gas wells leaking methane and toxic chemicals into communities. These “orphan wells” are one of the biggest environmental scandals in the US and Canada today,

If you want to get involved - Resistors, here you go:
This is one way you can help us spread the message as we prepare for recalls. We can’t do it without you. We Are The Resistance!
A call to action for Creative and Engaged AB Resistance Volunteers.
Our marketing strategy volunteer, Ashley, has created a detailed marketing volunteer information presentation for Alberta Resistance (ABR), a group of engaged Albertans aiming to drive positive change in the province. The presentation outlines the organization's mission, which includes promoting decency in politics, fostering caring communities, and encouraging optimism. There's an emphasis on the importance of nonpartisan communication and the strategic use of social media to counter misinformation and engage various levels of voters. AB Resistance plans to leverage the recall legislation to empower Albertans and create a more inclusive and transparent political environment. ABR needs volunteers, like you, to contribute content across different media formats and highlight the phased approach to building momentum for recall campaigns. The ultimate goal is to transform uninformed citizens into active participants in democracy, celebrating the efforts of committed volunteers who are building a better Alberta.
Reach out via message here or with AB Resistance to see the whole presentation and to get involved!
Here are intake forms if you have content you wish to provide us today!
A Message from ABR (Alberta Resistance)
Recalls: We are moving closer to a Recall for Change in Calgary Bow and Calgary North West. We would love to hear from you if you are interested in standing up a Recall in your riding. Contact us at: abresistance2027@gmail.com (Sherwood Park/Strathcona postponed. But we have one booked for Lethbridge on Sept. 15th and one for Calgary on Sept. 23rd - check out the Resistor for details)
Build Community: Albertans need to work together to educate and build community.
Town halls will be starting up; watch for one in your area. The Separatists and the Far right, like TBA (Take Back Alberta), are well-organized and have lots of money. (The Breakdown on X is sharing an audio with Dennis Modry’s voice from the APP saying that the US will give the separatists a $500 million loan to separate from Canada - we are not going to become the 51st state right away https://x.com/TheBreakdownAB/status/1948532405431861349. We need to counter that with information and community. Be a part of the change. See our ABR Resistor Update
There are several opportunities to attend rallies and protests this week.
Join our Facebook page or a group in your area that shares events, information, and ideas on how to spread the word.
If you want to be part of the group Forever Canada, the link to sign up for information or to collect signatures is here:

Go to the page “Where to sign the petition” to find the information. Canadian info has been posted on this page. Go here for updates.
Knowledge:
Talk to your friends and share what you know. Watching the Socials, we see more outrage and anger about what is happening to Health Care, Education, Social Services, and the Environment in this province. These areas affect everyone! It’s time to speak up.
Keeping this one here: The Province has launched another - you guessed it - PANEL Alberta Next Panel. They have scheduled a series of town halls, and you can sign up for them 2 weeks before the event. There is also a survey attached that has you watch a video and then answer 2 - 4 questions. None of the answers allow for any negative feedback, but if you answer the questions, there is an opportunity for you to put in your opinions.
The NDP has its Better Together Campaign going as well. You can check it out here: Better Together: Alberta NDP Caucus
(They only win if we give up!)
Wins this week -
We are working with other groups to show up at peaceful demonstrations around the province. For details, see our ABR Resistor Update.
AB Resistance is a small group of volunteers that pays for expenses solely through donations. Hosting town halls, printing, paying for websites, and social media software all cost money. If you would like to donate to our cause, please etransfer to abrdonate@gmail.com. We are a third-party advertiser, which means we report to Alberta Elections. When you donate, please include your name, address, and postal code in the message. The question is “What province do we live in? = Alberta, even if you don’t live here. It makes it easier for our CFO to accept your money. Thanks to everyone who has already donated. You can now sign up for our Substack. We will be publishing extra articles that uncover what the government is doing. By joining, you help us to fund townhalls, print materials, and get the word out to the public.
ABResistance has a “Speaker Series” - check it out on our webpage SPEAKER SERIES - AB Resistance. We are taking the month of July off (unless something emergent comes up) and will be back in August with some new topics. We are also posting the videos on Substack, and you can access them here on YouTube: @abresistance.ca (some nice ab work out videos may show up as well). Some upcoming guests are Dr. Carla Peck on education, and Thomas Lukazuk, former MLA and Deputy Premier, on the Canadian Forever campaign.
We have a merch store! Check out our t-shirts and hoodies.
