My thoughts on Alberta's push to add citizenship markers to driver's licenses.
It's not about election integrity or convenience.
It's about a culture war and discriminating against immigrants.

In a moment where Canadians are looking for more serious and sober-minded political leadership, Poilievre’s persistently peevish brand of politics might not be fit for purpose, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes.
Pierre Poilievre hasn't learned a thing
The more things change, it seems, the more the leader of the official opposition stays the same. Will his party's members give him the chance to run the same failed political playbook again?

“Pierre Poilievre is an angry teenager in the body of a grown man. He’s quick to turn anxiety into anger for political gain — with no concern for the destruction he causes in his fight for power. He’s the nastiest leader of a major party in this country’s history.”

Danielle Smith’s waste-of-taxpayer-money “Alberta Next” panels turned rowdy in Edmonton.
It’s clear they’re not interested in hearing from Albertans. The UCP just wants to continue to push their costly, destabilizing ideas on Alberta.

New provincial hunting regulations spark backlash from wildlife experts
