I am an #ElbowsUp Canadian living in Alberta. I champion smart policy, I do not blindly cheerlead for individual political leaders and I have very little time for those that do. If that's gonna be a problem maybe do us both a favour #cdnpoli

Corrected: Why We've Sabotaged High Speed Rail in America. It could work if big oil and the airline industry weren't afraid of it. There are plenty city corridors that are the perfect distance for high speed rail. We could afford it if we wanted to and had the political will to make it so.

Kenney announces 'Fair Deal Panel' to advance Alberta's interests, like pipelines
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney announced the creation of a panel that will examine ways to make his province more independent of Ottawa in a speech to the conservative Manning Centre on Saturday in which he rejected separatist arguments.
