Smith says caucus members can sign any petition they want to, including on separation Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says members of her caucus can sign whatever petitions they want to, including one pushing for a referendum on the province’s independence from Canada.

With respect, Premier, we are not talking about what flavour of ice cream your colleagues prefer.

There's not much more fundamental to governing than the issue of separatism. To be indifferent to caucus positions on this is a dereliction of duty. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

'"We can't cede the conversation space. We need to be in the conversation," Hogan says of Albertans who like him oppose separation.

“From 1981 to 2015, there were an average of 18 smoke hours per year in the city of Calgary. No year had over 100.

Now we see hundreds of smoke hours routinely: 315 in 2017, 450 in 2018, 439 in 2021, 512 in 2023, and 2024 was ‘only’ 200.”

Calgary Liberal MP appointed to new role in Mark Carney’s government Corey Hogan, Calgary’s only Liberal MP, has been appointed as the parliamentary secretary to the minister of energy and natural resources.

Come for the news about me being Parliamentary Secretary for Energy and Natural Resources, stay for the transition to my official Commons photo that makes me look like I aged a decade in the last month. www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/vide...

Marc Garneau, Canadian astronaut and former Liberal cabinet minister, dead at 76 Marc Garneau has died at the age of 76, according to a statement from his family. He was the first Canadian to go into space and flew on three space shuttle missions.

Sad news. I was lucky enough to meet Marc Garneau over the years and Canada has lost an incredible statesman. One of our most interesting Canadians and a wonderful man. www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

I like your cabinet. But I'm disappointed that Corey Hogan didn't get a position. Calgary rarely has representation in the federal government (yes, I understand it is because of how we vote), but Corey was elected, is competent and has good experience, and might tame some separatist noise.

@coreyhogan.ca has a long list of accomplishments & educational credentials, not the least of which is his former role at the UofC, but it's hilariously satisfying CTV decided to focus on "former AB senior official AND PODCAST HOST". Missing |knows @carterab.bsky.social" for a Chef's Kiss! #ableg
