A wins a win. But for the Stamps when EDM loses it's a plus

As much as Smith tried today to spin the children’s medication debacle as being the result of former premiers or leadership races or byelections…

It was all her idea.

How do we know?

She said so.

The report commissioned by the Alberta government into allegations of corruption in the health system is out and everyone should read the caveats spelled out by the retired judge at the outset to understand what's in there, and more importantly, what's not. #ableg

UCP is announcing a new contest to choose a new license plate design all with the slogan "strong and free". But only because strong and free is in the national anthem and was said by King Charles during his speech from the throne. Not because it is the motto, song, donour club of the UCP. No sir.

Last night, Bruce McAllister, the voice of this government, suggested a young student be beaten after daring to ask about education funding and the teachers strike. /1

Disgraceful conduct by Bruce McCallister at last night's Alberta Next Panel in Calgary. @abdanielsmith.bsky.social and her bullies have no place in leadership. Silencing and threatening a citizen is cowardly. Evan deserves an apology.

I can't see with all the smoke that this scandal is giving off. At what point does the Premier, finally, announce a public inquiry? This is not about restructuring health care in Alberta, it is corruption.

Great point. They need to move to streaming in Canada and get away from the TSN monopoly for the broadcasts

After the show aired its 130 episodes over nine months in 1971, it went into syndication for the next several decades.
The show typically aired on Saturdays in Canada, drawing in excellent ratings. In Calgary, it had 35,000 viewers in its timeslot.

I loved twitter of old like 10 years ago. It was like the live comments section for an event or game
Miss those days

(Jon)ny Foozball @3rddownrouge.com · Sep 9

To me the model of blue sky and Twitter before is virtual local bar. You follow the people you want to meet and watch game with or complain about the news, there's sometimes live events, there's a board where people post stuff out front, and there's dumb stuff on the walls of the bathroom.

I've said it before the people in Marlaina's government are just not good at their jobs, and are incompetent

Half the stuff she does in 2025 would have caused Danny of 2012 to walk the floor again

Jared Wesley @jaredwesley.ca · Aug 29

2012 Danielle Smith must be so conflicted.

On one hand, she's days away from realizing her dream of locking out all public school teachers in the province.

On the other, she's having to fight to keep Atlas Shrugged on high school library shelves after people took her book ban literally.

More options is never a bad idea. Aren't we supposed to have the Alberta advantage? But limiting what we we're getting compared to other Canadians isn't very competitive

James Murphy @jmurph6.bsky.social · Aug 24

So true. Small very vocal minority is pushing their ideals on the majority
