Way to go Donald.

I've spent 25 years supporting students, and now I'm running to protect rural healthcare, strengthen our schools, and make life more affordable in Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills.

Better is possible, Alberta. Let's do this!

“Gander Social, then, is an opportunity to raise Canadian voices, at least in its first iteration. He said the platform will be open to the world, but built in Canada and based on Canadian values and laws.”

Anyone interested in a Cdn social media site?
Canada is building its own social network — The Logic
OTTAWA — Ben Waldman didn’t set out to build a social media platform—then along came U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war and threats of turning Canada into the “51st state.

Eric Engler and another UCP staffer *lived with* Marshall Smith?

For context, Engler was the press secretary while Smith was chief of staff in the Ministry of Mental Health and Addiction. When Smith graduated to the premier’s chief of staff in 2022, Engler became CoS for the Ministry of MHA.

The Israeli Government’s denial of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable and risks breaching International Humanitarian Law.

Alberta independence?
I'm sorry, I thought you said Alberta Independents.
I don't know if this is politically meaningful, but so far 64 people living in Alberta who have never run on a long ballot before have filled out all the forms necessary to be candidates in a by-election alongside Poilievre

The Premier’s “exes” have had enough.

First, it was Guthrie demanding answers on the Premier’s husband’s “lobbying” activities.

Then yesterday, former UCP MLA Scott Sinclair unloaded all the cannons on Danielle Smith.

What. A. Moment.

Note, this was held in the federal riding of Battle River-Crowfoot.

“Why does the cabinet have to be 50% women? Why can’t we just choose the best people for the job?”

We could, brah. But I don’t think you’d be thrilled with 100% of the cabinet being women.

There is no way BC people are going to allow another pipeline to tidewater, and no way will let the government dredge Burrard Inlet to let bigger tankers in to TMX terminal. Enough of this bat shit crazy woman. If you don't like it leave and move to the USA.
