Danielle Smith was supposed to deliver her keynote an hour ago. We're still waiting.
I suspect she might have had to do some rewriting of her speech after the reception she received last night

Tour de force of investigative journalism here. Globe obtained evidence and made connections that Judge Wyant did not. Also, Globe confirmed former Edmonton Police Chief Dale McFee was guest of Sam Mraiche at Oilers game. EPS failed to be forthright with me when I raised this in a previous story. 1

"Each overdose handled at Chumir saves $1,600 compared to treating it in the street or ER. From 2017-2020, the SCS saved Alberta’s health system more than $2.3 million. Closing SCSs doesn’t erase those costs; it shifts them to 911 calls, ER beds and court dockets."

‘Medicare for All’ still big. “In a survey of 1,207 likely voters [from] Nov. 14–17, 2025, ...65% of voters [supported] a Medicare for All system, described as a ‘national health insurance program... that would cover [everyone] & replace... private health insurance...’" jacobin.com/2025/11/medi...
Medicare for All Disappeared. Its Popularity Didn’t.
The demand for Medicare for All went from the center of the discourse to political exile in record time. But the policy's popularity never faded. A new poll finds strong majority support for the neglected idea among Americans across the political spectrum.

Kids as young as 3 and 4 years old are being hauled into immigration court in Seattle and read their rights.
They’re being told they have the right to an attorney despite having no capacity to hire one or understand what that means.
As Rep Jayapal says, that’s not due process… it’s a farce.

How would an MLA know which constituents vote in a provincial elections? This information is privileged only to Elections Alberta.
Also, any elector can initiate a recall, irrelevant of whether they vote. UCP wrote this law.
