It’s super fun that Mark Carney is running a whole federal government as though he only has two constituents:

Scott Moe and Danielle Smith.

Turns out everything we said about Poilievre was right . . . about . . . Mark Carney.

So much land. So much valuable land now in the hands of a government that has been trying to sell off the greenbelt, provincial parks and Ontario place.

It is not conspiratorial. It's recent history.
The government says Bill 33 has received Royal Assent and is now law.

It will make it easier for the education minister to take over school boards in the province by appointing a supervisor and sidelining trustees. #onpoli globalnews.ca/news/1153148...

What we’d once consider a scandal is now just another day in Doug Ford’s Ontario.

A $16 orange juice once ended a political career. Today, government shrugs off allegations of a billion-dollar slush fund — the result of a decade of far-right impunity.

“while Canada’s competition watchdog may have determined it don’t have enough evidence to pursue a case, Canadians should know much more about the current use of these platforms, and the role they’ve already played in the affordability crisis.”

It’s worth remembering that the UCP aren’t just robbing Albertans of their charter rights…

Amery openly conceded that these laws also violate the Alberta Human Rights Act and the Alberta Bill of Rights.

That the UCP just rewrote.
