None of Smith's referendum questions are likely to result in actual policy change. Because they require constitutional amendments (federal veto) or are plainly unconstitutional. Assuming "yes" votes carry, what then? Kenney's equalization referendum didn't soothe separatists. It emboldened them.

Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

All roads lead to the Government paying private companies at a markup on what it would cost publicly. Just look at the Dynalife disaster.

There’s gotta be something in here about flagrant disregard for judicial rulings. Although not a formal event the discussion about defying current term limits is…worrying.

Case in point, Edmonton hasn’t had a new hospital since the Cold War. Is that the fault of immigration? Or decades of mismanagement and kicking the can down the road with regards to our public services.

It’s been an interesting 180 from “Alberta is Calling.” I can appreciate growing infrastructure constraints and scarcity with a greater influx of new Canadians/Albertans. But to blame it all on immigration and not chronic underfunding and poor planning is dangerously disingenuous.

It feels like an invisible boundary has been crossed in American politics. It’s a bad feeling in the gut that for me is 5x what it was around the Trump assassination attempt. A pot about to boil over.

One can only assume Ayn Rand getting caught in the crossfire as some form of miscommunication on their end. Perhaps a mix up between the compulsory reading list and the banned reading list

He’s dangerous and his reach is broad. My wife has a grandparent fighting cancer and a RWNJ extended family member insisted that he take ivermectin and other things “prescribed” by none other than Mr. Makis. My wife (PhD Virology) had to explain to a frightened Grandmother why it would only harm.

The government is seriously dropping the ball on how insurance operates here. And no the no fault thing won’t cure anything, a small bandaid at best.

The latest inflation data for car & home insurance, by province. Alberta absolutely in a league of its own here.
Two line charts showing Alberta well ahead of every other province in terms of price inflation for auto insurance premiums (which have more than tripled since 2002) and home insurance premiums (which have increased more than sixfold).

I’ve been an advocate for this approach for awhile. While leaving the CPP is a dumb idea, developing a made in Alberta pension that can be used to fill a gap for those who either aren’t covered by a DC/DB employment plan, or people who would want in addition to those instruments is a healthy idea

All I'm saying is, if you actually ask somebody with a PhD a question about their area of expertise, the response you get will be pretty much exactly the opposite of the experience of using ChatGPT.

My wife’s grandpa has received an unfortunate cancer diagnosis. While his wife grieves and muddles along, they are receiving unsolicited advice from a family member who…surprise..surprise…is recommending ivermectin on the advice of William Makis in Alberta. The damage this man spreads is appalling

Hey #abpoli #ableg Separatism is *again* making the rounds in the news. But how much support is there for the idea really? And what about joining the U.S.? Below is a teaser for some further analysis coming later this summer. You will find the answer to the above is “not much”.
