a portion of an email from Cathy Sproule on behalf of the Heather McPherson campaign. ""Grim Leaper." Over my nine years as an elected woman in politics in the Prairies, I've been called a lot of things, but when then Premier Brad Wall gave me that name in the Saskatchewan Legislature in May 2016, I had a sinking feeling in my stomach. I knew it would stick. The Leap Manifesto vote at the 2016 federal convention wasn't to adopt it, just to let riding associations review it. I didn't like the way it had been pushed at convention..."

an August 18 Facebook post from Shannon Phillips of Meredith Boessenkool & Phillips Policy Advisors. "Lethbridge, your Forever Canadian petition volunteers are up and running and collecting signatures. In my view, there’s really nothing more important in Canadian politics than pushing back against Danielle Smith’s separatism. The good news is the vast majority of Albertans agree, and *literally thousands* of citizens are now volunteering to collect signatures to get one simple question put to referendum: “do you believe Alberta should remain in Canada?” People from across parties and all walks of life are united in their view that if this question gets put before Albertans, we can defeat these dangerous and expensive UCP distractions once and for all. Lethbridge, you can sign the petition tonight and there will be many other opportunities. If you are one of the certified canvassers, feel free to drop any other times/availability below. Remember, we only have a few weeks to gather these signatures, so make sure your voice is heard! You have to be 18, a resident of Alberta, and a Canadian citizen."
