Watch for this.
Nicky Gocuan works in the Premier's office. He's running for Edmonton City Council in October.

He just posted a picture wearing a DOGE tshirt customized with the Alberta flag.

Here is one of Pierre Poilievre's star MPs getting advice from Elon Musk.

No wonder "common-sense" Canadians are abandoning the Conservative Party right now.

Podcasters muzzled, CEOs and senior managers fired, boards replaced and then sacked, all with hand-picked insiders. And still no public inquiry.

By now it should be obvious that the “C” in UCP is for Coverup.

What a relief that we got rid of Dan Jones, a veteran & experienced former police officer, and replaced him with Jayan Nagendran, a heart surgeon who was business partners with Sam Mraiche and appears to be all cozy with Kaycee Madu too.

We need a provincial government that will stand up for Canada and for our sovereignty and our economy.

We have to take a Team Canada approach that looks out for the best interest of every Albertan.

It’s time for us to fight for Canada! Danielle Smith, are you listening?

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids.

Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

Maybe we could spend more time talking about this and less pretending the Prime Minister wants to take our toys away.

Can Corner Stores Mount A Comeback? Via @bloomberg.com

“Toderian champions a finely grained retail model he calls ‘corner convenience’: a small market, cafe/restaurant or service that ideally would be legal on every street corner across the city & suburbs.” www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
The Corner Store Comeback
Small-scale neighborhood retail is staging a post-Covid revival in many cities, thanks to a mix of zoning reforms, shopping trends and local incentives.

Got my flu and updated COVID vaccines today. Even better my adult boy child did, too. Two down, millions to go.

Every other country needs to consider the danger that this will pose to the health and safety of their citizens at the border. Especially Canada. The return of diseases that vaccines defeated because an anti-vaxer will now be in charge of American health, won’t stop at the U.S. border.
I cannot stress how awful it is to have RFK Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services. This is bad.
