The UCP's hidden tax plan is becoming more apparent - despite their attempts to HIDE IT! It will massively impact the wealth of Alberta's business owners, employees, seniors, and those requiring medical care 1/5

What will the theme of his campaign be? I’m going to say “common sense,” cost of living, and “super duper common sense.” 🤣 He may be a great campaigner, but the conservatives have no new ideas.

What’s happening? I thought Calgary was the AB Hail Capital lol. We’re now in a heat wave down here; 30°C today. Can you share some of that rain? Even just a little? 😉 Stay safe.

@maxfawcett.bsky.social does a great job describing the carbon pricing. It’s actually quite good. I’ll let him explain if he has the time. Or just read the article he wrote. 😊

I’m confused , as to why hardly anyone in the media is discussing the fine print in the MOU. Carney got Smith to sign off on carbon capture, industrial carbon pricing, and renewables. That’s a huge accomplishment. To me that’s a bigger story than a pipeline that most likely will never be built.

Ah yes, another word salad of hot air. These guys are just so paranoid, they can’t even fathom that elections have been run fairly without a stupid citizen status on a person’s drivers licence. Man we live in the dumbest time line.

At the Rideau Club, I argued that Alberta is "the jilted lover of Confederation: a partner who feels under-appreciated and misunderstood, yet yearns for a closer relationship with the rest of Canada. We should approach the upcoming referendum with that in mind." 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

The UCP put out a statement claiming a special committee had voted to recommend a referendum question for this October, offering Albertans a choice on whether to remain in Canada. But the release went out while the committee was still meeting and hadn’t actually finalized anything.

I rose today to confront Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act. How do we push back against the rising tide of hate, without sacrificing civil liberties? I have no easy answers. But in this speech, I wrestle with the questions. It's not a comfortable listen. It's not meant to be. #cdnpoli #Alberta #C9

There is a reason that we do not have MLAs decide on electoral boundaries. Tossing out the Electoral Boundaries Commission and replacing it with a UCP-dominated committee is not just a bad idea. It is really bad for democracy. Ask the US, ask Hungary. This is not normal!

It is not the increase from 89 to 91 that is problematic. It is this part of the motion. Throwing out the Electoral Boundaries Commission (and all of their work) and instead creating a new committee of MLAs with a new advisory panel.

Past Premier Smith explains how current Premier Smith is using AHS as a scapegoat from "the fallout of mistakes" and admits the truth that she had fired the board and was in direct control of AHS during the contracting. And if AHS didn't comply she would "chop off a few heads". #ableg #abpoli

Really enjoyed the episode Jordan. I do have to ask though…how did you miss discussing the financially successful podcast Real Talk (hosted by Ryan Jespersen)? It’s been going since 2020 and airs 5 days per week out of Edmonton AB. That should be a model that is studied. 😀
