I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

I knew that this day was coming. The UCP had been warning for months that they were going to take away the rights of transgender people (not just children but adults too). I thought I was prepared. But I am still very angry that it has happened.

Rural folks gathering in Calgary to express concern over ‘drill and dash’ orphan wells.
Yes, the same people who voted into power a government that is 100% in bed with O&G.

Where's the premier while MLAs rush through an all-night debate on stripping Albertans of their Charter rights?
An airport lounge, waiting for a flight to Saudi Arabia. She didn't even bother to show up for the vote.
I remember when conservatives turfed premiers for this level of hubris.

We need to send the UCP a very clear message. It’s gone way too far.
Let's be clear about what happened today.
Premier Smith introduced a bill to strip Albertans of Charter rights,
denied MLAs the opportunity to debate it and the courts the ability to scrutinize it,
and did all of this from her seat on a jet to Saudi Arabia.

The UCP government has invoked time allocation and on a bill removing Albertans' Charter rights.
And they're using the notwithstanding clause to do it.
Here's why that is a dangerous precedent. And why real conservatives need to stand up against it.

Bravo. We have to stand up to this lunatic. She hates workers - it is evident in every decision that is made. Her goal is simple. Wealth transfer from those with the least money and power to those with the most.

Weird thing is every physician I’ve been talking are shaking their heads and wondering who could possibly be advising this…
It is so poorly thought out and so obviously going to be disastrous…

In which the Premier's right-hand man blames both immigrants and the federal government for the strains and stresses in the education system his government is supposed to run.
Hey, remember the "Alberta is Calling" campaign? The one that brought many thousands of people to Alberta? I sure do.

Coal royalties in 2024/25 were $15.5 million. The government has now paid out more than $200 million in claims to Australian mining companies for bungling this file.
Another Australian coal company has announced that it has reached a settlement ($95 million)with the GoA over its compensation claims due to Alberta's coal policy flip flops.
Once again this info comes to AB taxpayers from the company website.
No disclosure from the GoA.

So Adriana Lagrange wants Alberta’s share of the money from the feds for Pharmacare without signing on for it, saying that she believes Alberta’s coverage is already adequate. So what will she do with the money then? A reminder Adriana, that those are my tax dollars.
