We are living through extraordinary times — times that would have seemed unthinkable just a few years ago. Around the world, autocracy is on the rise. The new U.S. regime threatens the sovereignty of these lands currently called Canada. Here at home, misinformation and corruption have taken hold in Alberta’s government. The pillars of liberal democracy are crumbling under the strain of growing authoritarianism. This year’s Parkland Institute conference confronts these urgent threats head-on. We’ll take a hard look at the political institutions meant to act as guardrails against autocracy and ask how well they are faring in this role. More importantly, we’ll start a conversation about how we can strengthen those institutions, defend our struggling democracy, repel the current threat, and create a future that is built on the foundations of equality, justice, and solidarity.

Why then, if there has been no real growth in separatism as a threat in Alberta and Saskatchewan, has there been so much handwringing and teeth-gnashing about it since the federal election? Albertans ...

When “parental rights” means banning books and gutting protections for LGBTQ+ kids — and “school choice” means privatization — we need to ask: whose rights, and at whose expense?

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith floated the idea of a "wait guarantee" to curb long surgery wait times on her talk show Saturday.

Proposed changes to the Education Act would respond to changes in the education system and respond to feedback from Albertans.

To be charitable, perhaps it is not that Alberta Premier Danielle Smith doesn’t love her country, but that she loves Big Oil more.
