Congrats on all the fruit, Joe Davis. Hope you got some honeydew, it's the money melon.

Where's the premier while MLAs rush through an all-night debate on stripping Albertans of their Charter rights?

An airport lounge, waiting for a flight to Saudi Arabia. She didn't even bother to show up for the vote.

I remember when conservatives turfed premiers for this level of hubris.

Alberta teachers not going on strike yet, as negotiations hit an impasse The government claims it's offering teachers everything they want, but the ATA says the government hasn't changed its position on pay since members voted to strike in June.

Jim Stanford: Let’s drop the phoney Alberta versus Canada nonsense. The province has met the enemy — and it is them During the so-called decade of federal 'attacks on oil,' Alberta oil giants set records for production and profits, writes Jim Stanford. So why is the average Albertan not getting their

Albertans have good reason to be angry: their real wages are down 10%, their minimum wage is frozen, their inflation is worst in Canada, their health care's at risk. None of that was caused by the rest of Canada. My take in today's @TorontoStar: www.thestar.com/business/opi.... #cdnecon

Danielle Smith's Electoral Reforms Are Straight from the Trump Playbook And it's no accident they were released today.

In the dead of night, the UCP passed the most comprehensive set of anti democratic reforms in Alberta history.

No public consultation. No meaningful debate.

How bad is Bill 54?

Not horrible if you like Trump-style democracy.

Just once I would love to have a conversation with a conservative voter that didn’t immediately become a list of grievances that they expect to debate. I usually talk about all the things we actually agree on. Show that we can find common ground. They do not care. They just want to be mad.

The grievance politics so many albertans wallow in would be funny if it wasn’t so embarrassing.
Do non-con voters love the liberals? No! But they’re the only adults in the room at this point. Cons have devolved into reactionary sycophants. And the right keeps falling for it.

I check the little screen, I check the big screen, I check the watch screen, I check the tablet screen. I check the screen that reminds me of the good times, I check the screen that reminds me of the better times.

Trump and 51st State Jokes - Quibbling with Quislings - Alberta Views When Donald Trump first started making “jokes” calling Canada the 51st state and Justin Trudeau, governor, I rolled my eyes.

Another day, another cruel cut for children in Alberta.

The UCP have just cut the Child and Youth Support Program, essential supports for some of the most vulnerable kids.

They even acknowledge that this news “may be difficult to hear”.

Unconscionable, that’s what it is.
