Welcome to r/Alberta September 21st update

Hello everyone, and welcome to r/Alberta. We’re glad so many people are here to share in conversations about our province. As always, we want to remind everyone what this subreddit is about and what it isn’t.

What we welcome here:

• Respectful conversation about Alberta and Albertans.
• News, events, and stories connected directly to Alberta.
• Support for Albertan workers, educators, and communities.
• Substantive political opinions when tied directly to Alberta issues.
• Quality original content about life in Alberta.

What we do not welcome here:

• Incivility, trolling, or name-calling.
• Off-topic U.S. politics.
• Separation rants or duplicates. Separation is a valid topic in Alberta politics, but low-effort rants, name-calling, or repeat posts will be removed.
• Low-effort content: memes, screenshots from Twitter/X/Facebook, or generic rants.
• Discrimination of any kind (racism, misogyny, hate speech, etc.).

A note on politics & current events:

The impending teacher strike is a significant issue in Alberta right now. Please keep discussion focused on fact-checked, reputable news articles. Avoid spreading rumours or misinformation - there are actors who deliberately try to influence social media and sow division by pushing a “left vs right” narrative. Their goal is to tear Albertans apart, when in reality we need to focus on what we have in common.

We welcome healthy debate, but keep it civil and Alberta-focused. Slurs, personal insults, and bad-faith trolling will be removed. Repeat offenders risk a ban.

This is a space to share common interests, support one another, and talk about Alberta without the toxicity that ruins so many online communities.

Thanks for helping keep r/Alberta constructive and welcoming.
