Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:
A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Iβm running for Mark Carney's Liberals in Calgary-Confederation.
I live here, work here, raise my kids here. I want to offer representation that understands the economy and the public interest and be an Alberta voice standing up for Canada at a challenging time. π§΅(1/X)

This has greater implications and importance than the headline suggests. A potential building block on what shapes life and the Universe.
An "industrial strategy" with backward integration into natural resource sectors like critical minerals?
Oh. My. God.
Finally, a politician who understands economy development strategy.
Sorry, my Canadian voter just smothered my skeptical journalist.

@naheednenshi.bsky.social - take the next 5 weeks to plan a town hall tour of Alberta. Youβve been given a clear and necessary opportunity from coal mining to corruption to Canada. The UCP no longer represents where the majority of Alberta is. Bring your vision forward.

If you're an NDP supporter, I need you to think long and hard about whether your efforts to big up your party will put PP in power.
