The memorandum of understanding has been a hot button topic for weeks now.

A lot of First Nations have been voicing their concerns, but Treaty 8 First Nations were in Ottawa Thursday morning to make sure that theirs were heard.

An Alberta regulator is supposed to block struggling companies from obtaining oil and gas wells. Tax data obtained by The Narwhal suggests the regulator ignored the rules when it allowed a company with unpaid taxes to obtain 170 wells. @drewanderson.bsky.social reports: thenarwhal.ca/alberta-ener...

The absolute hypocrisy and arrogance of Alberta‘s premier and the UCP caucus continues to astound me.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith confirmed today that her #UCP government is keen to help provide provincial post-secondary accreditation for the Peterson Academy, the online school of controversial psychologist and bestselling author Jordan Peterson. @charlesrusnell.bsky.social reports. #abpoli

Trump says it's an A++++ economy. He's right. His billionaire friends have never had it better.

If you're a working class person:
👉60% live paycheck to paycheck
👉Grocery prices at record highs
👉Premiums to double for 20+ million

The economy must work for all, not just the 1%

Danielle Smith's comments about the judiciary are among the most worrying things she's said about Alberta democracy.

Conservatives need to stand up to her. Now.
