Once described as "not nearly as serious as they first seem." Accurate. Not the sandwich-throwing one.
It astounds me how juvenile, insecure, and incompetent the UCP response to the recall petitions are.
The only response should be: "I am confident in my representation of my constituents and I welcome the democratic process which will affirm the voters made the right choice last election."

Does this mean a lawyer can talk smack about a judge on their case on Twitter so long as they do it while on the can?
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s government tabled its “Peterson Law” today — limiting oversight power for regulatory bodies and how they can punish and sanction their members for things they say or do.

Spoke to a room of lawyers and judges tonight. Told them: when many Albertans picture the UCP base, they picture you.
They were shocked — most of them oppose the democratic backsliding.
I reminded them: as long as they stay silent, that perception will stick.
All pluralists need to speak out.

What do you call a group that demands total freedom, but panics the moment anyone demands theirs?
It’s a purity cult. If they override you, it’s stability. If you assert yourself, it’s chaos. They want to control who has a voice.
#ForeverCanadian upset that order, so they want to change the law.

Flip the parties, but this playbook sounds familiar.
Soft secession
Legislation creates a Federal Tax Escrow Account in the state treasury. Instead of employers forwarding collected federal taxes to Washington, they send them to the state. The state holds the money in escrow. A legislative panel reviews federal spending for constitutional compliance.

“The Liberal government plans to use its buying power to spur the development of data centres in Canada, but won’t yet commit significant sums to fund projects itself.”
Lots to unpack here, including many questions that probably should’ve been answered before Carney decided on his AI strategy.

The year is 2028. The AFL sues The NDP government for some nebulous reason. The NDP government settles by paying AFL $15 million out of court. Doesn't explain why. Everyone moves on. Really?
This story deserves more attention. The UCP govt handed over tens of millions of taxpayer dollars and is now refusing to explain why.
