Changes from the UCP’s Bill 20 will significantly delay the release of results and potentially disenfranchise some voters and reduce voter turnout, which is generally weak in Alberta, reports @charlesrusnell.bsky.social. #abpoli

Hudson's Bay, the oldest company in North America is bankrupt. Behind the scenes, vulture capitalism played a huge role in the end of this storied brand, as it has for many others.

Alberta's #UCP government has transferred control of over $13 billion in properties owned by #AHS into the hands of the government. Simply housekeeping, or part of further privatization efforts?

Trump increases steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada to 50% in response to retaliatory #tariffs. He'll declare a state of emergency on electricity in order to "do what has to be done." I'm excited to see how #Trump plans to generate between 12-15 TWh of electricity overnight. A marvel of science! /s

Mark Carney gave a great quote last night, "markets are indifferent to human suffering, and they are blind to our greatest needs, so when they're not governed well they will deliver enormous wealth to the lucky few and hard times for the rest."

Mark Carney is the new Liberal leader. The showdown is now between him and Pierre Poilievre. When he's not attacking Justin Trudeau, who is Pierre Poilievre? We did a deep dive on his background and political opinions.

Key takeaways from #Trudeau press conference on American #tariffs
1. USA is aligned with 'murderous dictator' (Russia)
2. Reason for tariffs not fentanyl but annexation
3. He called Trump 'Donald' and said tariffs a 'dumb idea.'
4. Americans will suffer economically, only have Trump to blame.

Alberta's #corruptcare scandal is getting more incriminating with each passing day. While the allegations have yet to be proven in court, the evidence points to years of corrupt contracts from the #UCP, wasting millions in taxpayer dollars.

I don't know if it's fair to say Danielle Smith is a traitor for what she's doing, but she seems to think if she sucks up enough she can get special treatment from Trump. It's not going to work, and she's selling out Canadians in the process. #DanielleSmith #Canada #TradeWar #Trump

Hockey is Canada's national game. It's also a sport experiencing a toxic culture that damages its players, and leads to violence against women. Where did this culture come from, and what can fix it?

#justintrudeau said his biggest accomplishment in office was reducing poverty and improving the economy for the middle class. His biggest regret was not being able to implement ranked ballots. #cdnpoli

I'm half expecting this press conference to be Justin Trudeau announcing he's getting remarried, or that he's fired his entire cabinet and replaced them with actual literal kitchen cabinets.

Chrystia Freeland's resignation has to be the last nail in Justin Trudeau's already severely nailed up coffin. What a scathing resignation letter.

#Canada and #Mexico fighting with each other over Trump's proposed #tariffs is frankly embarrassing. It's like two kids who broke a vase and are blaming the other so dad doesn't get mad at them.

President Biden pardoning his son is certainly controversial, but I can't help but feel like that will seem really tame in a year or two.

The UN's annual conference on climate change just wrapped up, with mixed results. The COP has been criticized for welcoming scores of fossil fuel lobbyists. But its even more nefarious than that.

The Liberal's new affordability measures are the right idea, but are clearly targeted to benefit their voting block - the middle class - rather than the people that most need economic relief right now. #affordability
