2/12 Despite the UCP's best efforts, there's no way Smith's travelling town hall tour can be described as genuine public consultation on Alberta's role in Canada.

It's propaganda masquerading as democracy.

8/9 Social media erupted with criticism yesterday. These aren't legitimate surveys - they're tools for manufacturing fake public support.

"Such a questionnaire has zero credibility or validity" as a measure of public opinion. Theatre disguised as consultation.

🚜 When “public input” is just a rigged tractor pull.(push)
Predetermined questions. No room to dissent.
And they call this engagement? 🤡
Albertans deserve better than this stage-managed spectacle.

A satirical political cartoon styled like a vintage agricultural illustration. At the top, bold black text reads: “The Tractor Push Poll: Harvesting Your Consent.” Below, a large banner in a wheat field says: “WELCOME TO TRACTOR PUSH – Your Voice in Motion!” A green and yellow John Deere–style tractor is labeled “PUBLIC INPUT” and “PUSH INPUT.” It is pulling a wooden wagon stacked with labeled boxes: “APP,” “RCMP EXIT,” “EQUALIZATION FIGHT,” “TAX COLLECTION TAKEOVER,” “REFERENDUM QUESTIONS (PRE-SELECTED),” “ENGINE ALREADY RUNNING,” and “REFERENDUM IN A UNITED CANADA?” Seated on the tractor is a generic farmer, pushing it forward. To the right, Premier Danielle Smith stands smiling, holding a clipboard labeled “Alberta Next Panel.” The boxes in the wagon reference key issues being promoted under the Alberta government’s panel process. At the bottom, the image is divided into five labeled boxes with light beige and pale yellow backgrounds: 🔴 Mandatory Video – "You can’t skip the partisan intro." 🔴 No Way to Disagree – "No ‘no.’ No box. No voice." 🔴 Preloaded Results – "Built to back the policy." 🔴 Loaded Question – "Assumes Ottawa is the villain." The Alberta Next Opinion Harvest (yellow background) – “The crop was chosen. The harvest was staged. Your voice was never in the soil.” The tone is critical and satirical, suggesting that Alberta’s so-called public engagement process was designed to manufacture agreement, not invite genuine public input.

#FakeConsultation - 364 landlords & managing agents replied, one tenant replied.

Wilful neglect and a benign acceptance of it's own inability to recognise communication failings.
