Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.

Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

By using s33 pre-emptively, the UCP is not simply admitting that their laws are breaching Charter rights. (Governments have done that before.)

By foregoing judicial review, they are further admitting that their laws cannot be justified in a democratic society.

NDP MLA David Shepherd held very little back as the UCP effectively fired the Auditor General in committee today…

Including highlighting that for a government under suspicion of covering up massive scandals, this only makes things look worse.

Alberta Auditor-General rushing health care probe after government denies term extension Doug Wylie said he offered to stay for two more years to wrap up major files including the health care investigation

Alberta's Auditor General is racing to finish his investigation into healthcare procurement after the UCP govt rejected his proposed contract extension.

He's done in April, 2026, and wants his probe wrapped then, too.

You bring up a great point. It starts with the reserves process; that’s an entirely different self regulated body.

The on deck campaigns should really have an online campaign going already. Do they?

That passes two levels of professional scrutiny. Engineering and accounting.

It is not hard for a company to build a lifecycle plan to retire their assets. But instead, and it’s how the reserves systems work, is they put a cost blob out 25 years. Then if that blob is depreciated, as the accountants are wont to do, it is immaterial.

Repealing their own legislation is a very probably reality …and blamed the flawed law on Kenney.

It’s a widely held belief that low voter turnout serves the incumbent. Is there research to confirm? Did many incumbents lose in these municipal elections?

It’s actually probably accounted for reasonably because the currently required pace of closure is not a material consideration; from a regulatory basis, most of these companies don’t need to clean up for decades.

There are likely quite a few UCP MLAs who will not run again. They need the courage to step away from the party now.

Call me crazy, but I think the guys who do the Nazi salutes and emulate Hitler quotes and defend Nazi ideology and dress like Nazis might just be a bunch of Nazis!

the key to their demise is the rule that they cannot fundraise or spend in between elections (2026 and 2027).

has nobody blamed the BlueJays yet?

...and he never really finished building it, did he?

A political cartoon shows a stone bridge labeled with words like “FREEDOM,” “HEALTH,” “SAFETY,” “FOOD,” “AFFORDABILITY,” “HOMES,” and “JOBS.” The keystone in the center is labeled “CLIMATE,” and a construction machine is shown removing it, causing the bridge to crack and collapse.

Every day's a good day to stop making it worse.

What, you haven't breathed enough smoke yet? Still pretending it's always been this bad? You're not even fooling yourself any more...

A) got it wrong (part of their criteria was campaign viability) and B) had very little influence ... how much money did they spend?

But looks like it backfired on them as they will not win enough council seats to dominate.

Those of you standing in long lines for municipal elections in Alberta today:

1) stay in line; your voice matters
2) the long lines are a direct consequence of the conspiracy-driven policy changes brought forward by the UCP government (and not your beleaguered election workers); be kind

Braid: UCP will decide who can run for office next time; only the "serious" allowed UCP plans new rules to limit who can run in provincial and civic elections. There's a bill coming soon.

Get ready - UCP is about to pass a law saying who's allowed to run in elections next time. Only the "serious" need apply. Is this partisan? No answer to that. Column.

And the banking regulators just greenlit this man’s bank proposal.

I suspect someone this obsessed with end times isn’t going to be too focused on making sure his bank doesn’t spark a banking crisis.

Funny how everyone I hear about the big tent from clearly sees themselves in the role of Tent Access Manager

45 mins wait over in Riverside.

Also note that voting hours were also cut on Election Day. Normally polling stations open at 8am, but this year open at 10am. Why?
