Devastating news from Banff National Park. I’m sure many of you have stood where the rock slide occurred. Considered an easy to moderate hike. My heart is with all families impacted. Many thanks to my heroes at Parks Canada and all first responders on site.

In 2019, the last time Alberta was awash in separatist nonsense, CBC Calgary commissioned me to write this essay. I re-read it today - and it seems to me as true as ever. And I thought this weekend might be a good time to share it with you, my new Bluesky friends. #Alberta #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg

So an infamously bad businessman known for cheating suppliers and contractors, declaring bankruptcy, lying about his success, and being bailed out by shady and corrupt global players, is going ahead with the tariffs that every credible economic expert in the world agrees is a colossally bad idea.
