Car insurance prices in Alberta have far outpaced every other province

Alberta is now at an index value of more than 400. No other province is above 250.

An index value of 100 is equal to the average price for insurance in Canada over all 12 months of 2002.

Braid: Smith takes energy fight to new level with charge of Guilbeault 'treachery'

When it comes to federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, the feeling toward him from many in the Alberta government comes close to hatred.

“Treachery” is a powerful word. It implies betrayal of the most vile and poisonous sort.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines treachery as “an act of perfidy or treason,” the highest crime against one’s nation.

Premier Danielle Smith levels that charge at federal Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault.

Her statement on the outcome of COP28 in Dubai says: “Although he ultimately failed in his ambitions to include language in the final COP28 agreement regarding the elimination of oil and gas production, Albertans will not forget his continued treachery against our province and millions of other Canadians.
