Jared Wesley and Ken Boessenkool: Danielle Smith is not a conservative Her politics amount to libertarian-laced populism, directly opposed to the sort of principled, incrementalist politics Albertans have had before.

Business leaders are speaking out against the UCP's separatist drift.

Lawyers & judges are rising up against Premier Smith's threats to judicial independence.

Real conservatives are realizing what we've been saying for years.

First, the UCP said there was an “election integrity crisis," which led to a voter ID law.

Then a “national unity crisis” → a sovereignty referendum.

Now a “crisis of confidence” in the courts → defunding judges.

There is no evidence of these crises.

The UCP is trying to manufacture them.

The link doesn’t work for me either.

Intéressant.

How it started? How's it going?

2023 - 92% of 🇨🇦 growth in renewables came from AB.

2026 - 99% collapse of renewables due to the UCP's regressive policy.

AB renewables were driven by corporations - Amazon, RBC, TELUS bought renewables & created good jobs.

Self-defeating. Policy matters #ableg

The Case for Sticking Around - Alberta Views I’m calling on us to do something un-Canadian: and stand up for the country we love—and reject the idea of a sovereign Alberta

The first two times I posted this essay about why I am a proud Canadian, and a proud Albertan, so many people tried to read it all at once that it crashed the @albertaviews.bsky.social website! But in light of recent news, I felt compelled to post it again. #Alberta #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg #Canada

Yep :( Just such a lack of leadership by Danielle Smith to ignore actual real stuff that Albertans are going through and instead make up fake problems that don’t help anyone.

As previously pointed out, there is a real risk of foreign interference in the Alberta independence initiative launched by the Alberta Prosperity Project. Counsel for Sturgeon Lake First Nation has commissioned an expert opinion from Wes Wark to document this risk. 1/ #abpoli #cdnpoli #ableg

Sarah Hoffman, Alberta’s New Democrat Shadow Minister for Hospital and Surgical Health Facilities; and Sharif Haji, Shadow Minister for Primary and Preventative Health Services, issued the following joint statement:

YouTube video by Senator Paula Simons CBC stays on X to reach audiences despite hate speech concerns - but isn't on Bluesky or Mastodon.

More recently, I had the chance, in a committee hearing, to raise the issue of the CBC’s commitment to X. Here’s what CBC’s top executives told me about why the CBC isn’t on Bluesky or Mastodon. youtu.be/lJUeQZlvD-E?... #cdnpoli

YouTube video by Senator Paula Simons QUESTION: Sen. Simons questions the government's continued commitment to Elon Musk's X

Here is my QP exchange from
November, 2024. More than a year later, there has been no change in the government’s commitment to X. #cdnpoli

In 2024, I rose in Senate QP to ask why the Govt of Canada was still using X for official communications. Today, they are still there. What exactly will it take to break the spell?

Yep. Getting through his version of event induced ‘throw something at the TV’ level anger. Glad he was snubbed

Since Calgarians don't seem to be getting the message about the water emergency, here's an idea: @calgary.ca should hold a competition. Pit neighbourhood against neighbourhood in brutal water conservation battle. Whichever reduces water usage by largest % gets a reduction on property taxes. #WinWin

Do you know if there is a map that shows how much tax revenue the counties in each federal riding in AB are losing due to the UCP renewable energy moratorium? Specifically wondering about Battle River Crowfoot as it includes quite a few of the hard hit counties.

"For all of the incessant whining about how Justin Trudeau wanted to kill Alberta’s oil and gas industry, it’s Trump that might actually end up doing it."

‘It’s surreal’: US sanctions lock International Criminal Court judge out of daily life Canadian judge Kimberly Prost is unable to use credit cards, transfer money or book everyday services in what she calls an attack on the independence of the judiciary

It is to Canada's shame we have not spoken out or supported a Canadian judge being sanctioned by the US

Her life is frozen. She cannot use credit cards, travel, move money, or access email. This is not sustainable

Happy challah-days!

In English we know it as “Carol of the Bells,” but the melody arises from a Ukrainian folk tradition of songs welcoming the new year and summoning the forces of nature to meet human labor and bring prosperity.
Do listen.

I started reviewing the Alberta Next report by looking at their polling results.

The numbers in the sample table don't add up.

Can anyone make it make sense?

If not, I'm not sure how we take the analysis seriously.
