She is a content creator based in Edmonton who focuses on Alberta politics. She does a podcast with Steve Boots and Brittlestar (Politics is Broken) but now Steve Boots is 'retired' and I believe she also joined Nate Pike (The Breakdown AB) when he did a live show or two. She isn't really a "somebody" but covering Alberta politics is a pretty small market.

I like that her content is not just opinions but fact driven. She provides source material and links to things that she references in her videos so that if you want to question it you can go look it up yourself.

Considering how hard it is to be a content creator or independent information sharer (not a journalist) in Canada - because Canada does not have a creator fund like in the US that pays people for views and subs - I think it is valuable to promote anyone who is pushing back against misinformation and the blind spots of corporate media.

I wouldn't want to speculate as to why either of you wouldn't like her but I would say that if you focus on what she is saying, she is adding value that you might not be getting elsewhere.

Nothing really new here but it is good to hear the story from Jeff's perspective as he was the one trying to submit the actual recall petition.

Who in the UCP thought it was a good idea to spam everybody with a "sign Danielle's Christmas card" email? I thought it was a joke from the NDP. Not idea how I ended up on the UCP mailing list.

I am curious as well how they have my email address. My MLA was trying to fundraise after her recall petition was approved. Very trumpy, 'they are coming after me to get to you'

I did respond and asked if they had info on where I could sign the petition. Still waiting to hear back.

Take a moment to sign Danielle’s Christmas card. We know she'll appreciate seeing your name and reading your message.
I don't think she will appreciate what I have to say to her.

Went and signed the recall petition against my current UCP MLA. Seems like they had way more people today than yesterday. Makes sense as it was much warmer today than yesterday. I really hope they're successful.

I told her to resign as the traitor to Canada that she is.

As you celebrate Christmas with your family, please remember that because of the laws you've enacted, and the rights you've stripped from vulnerable children, for some of them, this will be their last Christmas.

I took a gander through her friends list. It's a who's who of lawyers or their wives from Lethbridge. And doctors too. And the mayor of Lethbridge. All who are members of the LDS church. She'll have no problem getting legal representation and financial support if anything does come of this and she is indeed a key player. I doubt it gets anywhere.

They’ve committed criminal fraud in my mind.

Update:

Quote:
A petitioner looking to oust an Alberta cabinet ministers says she has a huge task ahead, as the campaign nears its deadline for signature collection.

Jenny Yeremiy says she thinks the petition to recall Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides has garnered 6,000 signatures since the end of October.

It needs another 10,000 in the next two weeks to force a constituency-wide vote on whether Nicolaides should lose his seat.

The information you need to know, sent directly to you: Download the CTV News App
She says a big push for signatures is planned but getting that many would be a major accomplishment.

The petition was the first of 26 launched against members of Alberta’s legislature in the final months of 2025.

The campaign against Nicolaides is the only one with a January deadline.

That's disappointing, but it was always known that recall was very difficult to achieve.

Hopefully just the fact that its gotten this far is helpful enough to slaughter them in the next election.

At the very least I hope it gets the word out as to some of the #### the UCP is pulling that some don't seem to be aware of. Between the sheer number of signatures required, the cold weather, and occasional confrontations/harassment it has been a bit of a slog collecting signatures.

Saw my first recall stand for Nate Glubish, lined up down the block to sign.

It’s been tough to do this in this district mostly due to the amount of signatures needed in this riding. The general support has been great, there just isn’t enough canvassers and time really to do this all. If we had 2-3x the canvassers, and/or this was spring/summer, it would be a lot easier to accomplish. I feel that if the conditions were better for us that we probably could have been successful.
