There has never been an "open borders" policy in this country, and she knows it. She was demanding more immigrants until it became convenient to scapegoat those immigrants for the very failures of her government in housing and healthcare. She's just bald-faced lying for her own political benefit.
Danielle Smith

The Prime Minister and I have found common ground on many things over the last 18 months. However, it appears that he has yet to fully understand just how damaging the open-border policies of his predecessor were. Those policies caused Canada’s cost of living to skyrocket, overwhelmed our social services, and made homes and jobs unattainable for thousands of young Canadians.

That’s why I’m encouraging Albertans to vote ‘yes to the rest’ to give our government a strong mandate to take more control over our immigration system, so that we can prioritize economic migrants, put Albertans first for jobs, and ensure Albertans’ social services are sustainable. We’re also asking for a strong mandate to work with willing provinces to reform the courts, abolish the senate, and protect provincial jurisdiction.

I look forward to hearing from Albertans on October 19th.

Wow. This is so sleazy and alarming. #BradBradford is a slimeball. He’s backed by the same developer sleaze that put Rob & #DougFord into power. Chris Alexander dropped out of the Toronto mayoral race & now a mysterious other ‘Chow’ appears on the ballot right above Olivia?? #TOpoli #VoteOlivia

There is a Braeden Chow listed right above Olivia
Chow's name on the voting ballot for Mayor in Toronto.
Since when were there two Chows and why wasnt this flagged? It's small type, his band appears first and people in a hurry could easily see Chow and vote for him thinking it is Olivia. Somehow, the names should have been separated, or one printed in bold. Considering how close the margin is between her and Bradford, details like this could make or break an election.

I don't describe a lot of stories as a must-read, but this one should be for Toronto voters. I heard the words 'ideologically rudderless ambitionist' used to describe a different politician. But I think they apply to Brad Bradford, too. #GiftLink 🎁 #ToPoli #BikeTO www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...
I’ll have more on Chow in a later column. But the Bradford conversations have been striking for their near uniformity. Most of the people I’ve spoken to, from across the political spectrum, don’t disagree with Bradford so much as they dislike him as a person. Several supporters told me they found Bradford weirdly intense. Chow backers — including many who once stood with Tory — and those with no horse in this race went much further. They told me — almost to a person — that they find Bradford unprincipled and disloyal.

This is more than just the normal political griping. For whatever reason, many who have worked closely with Bradford over the past eight years think he is almost uniquely unlikable. I’m not sure I’ve ever covered anyone who inspires so much personal vitriol. Many — and not just progressives — think he would be a terrible mayor, not because he believes in awful ideas but because they don’t think he believes in anything at all.

This is so wild. He’s making claims of billions in revenue from this pipeline into 2060. I would LOVE to know where he’s getting these numbers from — bc the IEA’s last non-Trump-pressured forecast shows oil demand declining as of 2030. + If it’s as profitable as he claims, our climate is fucked.

Carney isn’t a Liberal Prime Minister; he’s a Conservative asset manager merrily auctioning off our public infrastructure, resources, our environment, our labour & safety regulations, our future and our children’s future. But he sure talks nice. He’s Stephen Harper without the ICKY reptilian vibe.

The audacity to scoff at this question when a journalist on the hill just affirmed they were given access to this MORE THAN 200 PAGE bill less than 30 MINUTES before this press conference. How the fuck do you ask informed questions under those conditions? Spoiler: you can't.
Emilie Bergeron writes in french: "Les journalistes sur la colline, dont moi, ont reçu un projet de loi de plus de 200 pages moins de 30 min avant que les ministres répondent à des questions à ce sujet et en plein milieu d'un breffage avec des hauts fonctionnaires. un projet de loi dont l'intérêt public est majeur"

Carney is more popular than ever. He’s also, in my view, a very skilled propagandist. So it’s essential to cut through that for Canadians so they can be clear about exactly what they’re supporting. That’s the focus on my new piece for @thetyee.ca. I hope you’ll hear me out as I tell you about it:

Carney decided, on his own, that there should be two Conservative parties at the federal level. While Liberals were never all that progressive, former Liberals are calling him fully right-wing, including a Chretien-era minister. It's arguably an attack on democratic choice.
