Anyone keeping a tally on the billions wasted by the UCP?

Pipeline gamble: 1.3B
Dynalife: 97M
Turkish Tylenol: 80M
Coal settlements: 238M
Cancelled rail: 1.3B
Superlab cancellation: 35M
War Room: $120M

Heck, just scratched the surface. One blunder can take down a government. Flood the zone.
If the $238 million (and possibly more) lawsuit payout of taxpayers money over the idiotic coal mining policy flip flop of this government isn’t enough

Jason Kenney works for the law firm involved…

The Conservatives have launched their Charlie Kirk imitation tour.
In a fluff piece, CBC casually mentions that it it supported by youth from a group demanding the forcible deportation of millions from Canada.
CBC presents it as "counter culture."
No.
That's hate.

I don't like talking about the hate & abuse I received in politics. I don't need sympathy. But we do need change. And I promised to support women & girls who want to go into politics. So here is my story. We need to stop this. Now.

Jimmy Kimmel is a symptom of a huge problem: a concentrated media ecosystem beholden to corporate whims.

Canadian media struggles with this too.

Consider Global News' management making Ben Mulroney a top political host.

It's a worryingly partisan decision, especially given what I just uncovered:

17,000 jobs gone. Youth unemployment doubled. 1 in 4 young men are out of work.

That’s what a new Statistics Canada report shows for Alberta.

Danielle Smith is failing Alberta’s workers and families. We need a government that fights for every job and every worker.
