Read this.

This is a column by a conservative political scientist who clearly articulates that the premature invocation of the notwithstanding clause is a violation of the “Lougheed Doctrine”.

How powers are used matter.

Like me, many Albertans are caught in the middle between those who defend and oppose the government at all costs.

Fortunately, Peter Lougheed provided us with guidelines for how to approach these issues.

No one person should ever have this much control over a country or world affairs.

What an absolute shit show of moral cowardice

This summer, Canada’s tourism sector did more business than ever before — by welcoming the world and being our own best customer. 
 
More good news: we just renewed the Canada Strong Pass for the holidays and summer 2026 — so it’s more affordable to explore our incredible country.

It takes a lot for Americans to boo the Pledge of Allegiance.

This brought a tear to my eye.
Trump and Hegseth booed mercilessly for 2 minutes straight tonight by Washington Commanders fans.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

In a stunning display of "talk with confidence & people will believe you"...

Smith goes from blaming school boards, to saying she might eliminate admin roles, to saying classroom caps don't work to saying she wants to get to caps...

Really.

Caller - I'm concerned hospitals are going to collapse because vaccines aren't available and healthcare workers could strike...

Smith - Anyone can get the vaccine! (Nope) It's easy! (Also nope) We're following recommendations (More nope) The feds are the worst!

Caller - Healthcare is collapsing and privatization doesn't solve anything, what are you going to do?

Smith - Well, healthcare was struggling when there were experts involved, so we've gotten rid of them and feel pretty confident.

On a week that...

- There were multiple reports of worsening Red Alerts
- A major story broke about Paramedic burnout
- Stunning numbers came out about ambulances being staffed only because of overtime...

Smith claims EMS is fixed.

On the same day that Peter Lougheed's Eduction Minister said the 1981 cabinet would have never used the notwithstanding clause in the same way Smith did...

Smith doubles down and says Lougheed would have.

That's a special kind of something...
