Once described as "not nearly as serious as they first seem." Accurate. Not the sandwich-throwing one.
Anecdotally, it seems the market has dropped out of Alberta's real estate market in the last year. What happened to all those people looking for affordable housing?

Kudos to @matthewblack.ca for doggedly pursuing this through the OIPC.
An adjudicator's ruling merely confirms what was already obvious. The UCP gov't broke its own laws and went to great lengths to avoid disclosing politically unfavourable public records. Taxpayers paid for these records; they do not belong to a party. #ableg

Everything else aside, for someone who's whole shtick is to get high and expect people to take him seriously, accusing someone else of "being high" as a reason to dismiss them is pretty funny.
An email released by the Justice Department as part of the Epstein files showed a former guest on Joe Rogan’s podcast offering to connect Jeffrey Epstein with the podcast host in 2017.

I was trying to figure out what was stylistically familiar about the way Bad Bunny walked through everyday cultural settings, then it hit me:
It parallels (intentional or not) the way Childish Gambino walked through "This is America"

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show was an act of joyful resistance
“This was more than a stand against the ugly actions of ICE and Trump’s racism. It was a cultural celebration of community that decentered colonialism and U.S. imperialism.”

So remind me again how Albertans are getting value for our oil & gas if our jobs, royalties, and corporate taxes all keep going down?
"Job creators"?
"Alberta’s oil and gas industry cut about 10,000 jobs last year, but economists say something surprising about the loss — it may not be a terrible thing.
Even with fewer people, the oilpatch is producing close to seven times more oil and gas .."

Alberta's oilpatch cut 10,000 jobs last year — even as production soared
The province produced about 122 million barrels of oil in 2011. Last year, Alberta produced nearly 1.4 billion barrels of oil by November.

We already have longer Q&A during adjournment proceedings (when an MP feels QP was insufficient they can ask and get a longer answer).
What if we did that once or twice a week during the QP block? (5/6)
