Or, hear me out, the provinces need to step up and do their fucking jobs and fund their own services properly. They are not helpless. They can raise their own revenues.

Na. He knows her days are numbered too. He met with CEOs of all the majors months ago. Not one proponent. He knows if he lets her run her mouth Eby and B.C. will block it harder.

Your regular reminder: Albertans don't want public funds flowing to private schools. But the government benefits from the myth that they do.

When I was a kid, the dedicated teachers at St. Rose School in Edmonton showed up every day to set my peers and I up for success.

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to go back and thank the teachers doing the same for the next generation #WorldTeachersDay.

With no apparent public apology from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for completely fabricating a story about a child and his parents…

It seemed like a good time to re-up her philosophy on how to deal with mistakes and accountability.

The funniest part of PP having a seat in Alberta under SkyBoxSmith is, he has not said one word publicly to his old pal to shut down her anti Ottawa talk or separation movement. He wants to represent πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ on the world stage and her ideology wants him out of his job.

He wasn’t chosen because he was a sober scholar. He was hired because he was an opinionated, mouthy drunk who would drive up sales. He quit drinking but his writing never improved. His U.S. rw overlords just want clicks and his rhetoric, no matter how disjointed, gets them that.
