Her parents named her Marlaina, as far as I know she hasn't legally changed her name, so Marlaina it is.

What if one of your coworkers name was Mike but they went by Michelle. Ever since you knew them. Email signature block, memos, name on their lunch box.

You would still make a point of calling them Mike, huh?

Normally I would respect their choice but I have it on good authority that Marlaina doesn't care about people going by their prefered names.

So Marlaina it is.

 

[Remius]

You don't stike me as the kind of person to not use people's preferred names.

I know. Curious to see where this goes…

Indeed it shall.

Marlaina Smith makes the rules, I respect the spirit of them.

 

[brihard]

What disrespect?

It's her name.

Come now, most of us here are reasonably intelligent and have a decent read on each other. In almost all other cases I believe you would side with respecting the name someone chooses to use to refer to themselves by. For her that’s Danielle. You’re calling her Marlaina deliberately and as frequently as possible out of some weirdly manifested spite. It’s silly.

Remember forever Canada, the pro Canada referendum group that got the jump on the separatist group, but needed more signatures in less time?

‘Forever Canadian’ petition surpasses goal, collects 456,000 signatures

A former deputy premier of Alberta says the success of a petition he circulated to make it official policy for the province to stay in Canada should signal to Premier Danielle Smith that she needs to put separatism to bed.

Crushed it.

Now I fully expect Marlaina Smith to slowwalk this or kill it outright as it doesn't serve her separatist cause, but it's nice to see loyal Canadians rally and crush the higher bar.

So, they went the ‘policy’ path which means this should either go to a vote in the legislature - which is what he says he prefers - or a referendum.

I kinda like the option that puts members of the legislature on the spot to show their colours on the issue of Alberta independence. Just get the bullshit done with.

Maybe respect the spirit of the rules here and cut it out?

Marlaina has made it perfectly clear that there is no disrespect by calling someone the name given to them at birth.

In respect to her, and her legislation, I will do what she would want, and call her by her birth name.

Either way, Marlaina will ensure this does not see the light of day.

Please enlighten me on the rule I am breaking so I can properly modify my behavior in accordance to the rules of army.ca

You're deliberately being a troll by using Smith's legal name that absolutely nobody uses in a pretty terrible attempt to skirt the no name calling rule. You also know the spirit of the exact rule you're breaking and if you want to use your last strike digging into this childish game, no nuts.

Well, it's nice to know that Army.ca has better rules on names than the province of Alberta.

With the knowledge that calling Danielle Smith by her birth name is a disrespectful act I will properly modify my behaviour and henceforth only address her as Danielle Smith.

Does the legislature vote then block a referendum vote for 10 years?

If it doesn't, just have a referendum.

Not smelling very organic.

Quisling?
Hmm...., why does that name keep popping up in my mind for some odd reason??

Elections Alberta has confirmed the validity and success of the “Forever Canadian” petition. Citizen Initiative Petition Verification Completed, Results Announced - Elections Alberta

The provincial government can now choose to put it to a policy vote in the provincial legislature, or to put it to the electorate as a referendum question. Note that in the latter case it would simply be affirming a desire to remain in Canada; a ‘no’ vote would not in and of itself trigger a separation process though obviously it would fuel such a movement.

Interesting quandary for Danielle Smith to be in. She can either put it to the legislature and basically force each MLA to make their position on independence clear to voters, or she can point it to a voter referendum that likely loudly affirms a desire to remain in Canada, provoking further ire from separatists including those who risk fracturing her party.

...and changing the rules again to because the one they actually want isn't getting it's way.

The UCP is totally not a separatist party.

So under the new rules, the legislature can vote to remain in Canada and then they push forward the referendum for the people because the 5 year cool down period is gone?

Doing everything in their power to keep the seperatists afloat.
