This is an excellent analysis of the mayoral race in Lethbridge by University of Lethbridge Political Science Professor Dr. Yale Belanger.

Given Dr. Belanger's conclusions, I still intend to vote for Quentin Carlson. I would say it's a protest vote, but what other kinds are there?

Two Stories, No Strategy: Lethbridge’s Mayoral Race, 2025

Bear with me while I quickly cite the oft-maligned former U.S. President Richard Milhous Nixon, who, in a 1971 speech, reflected on the increasingly combustible nature of American politics. He obse…

I thought you were concerned with threats coming from the left in Alberta. Wolff, whom I admire a great deal, is about as threatening to capitalists anything I hear from the left.

When former PC ministers are citing the words of Marxian economists known for their anti-capitalist stances and promotion of worker-owned industry... While I'm not a religious man, this may indicate the potential for Biblical levels of suffering, and the ongoing "desperate search for other allies."

I'm not saying Americans shouldn't try to have free and fair elections regardless of Trump and friends, but it seems insanely optimistic to assume there will be meaningful American elections in 2026. They won't allow the newly elected Dem to sit as it is.
