What matters to the premier and her strategic team is that a political party mired in scandal & incompetence, bedevilled by a burgeoning recall campaign, finally has an issue it can campaign on and win. Don’t expect them not to use it, and quickly. #ableg #abpoli

Alberta has collected more than $1 billion in cannabis revenue.

That's the most, per capita, of all provinces and territories.

By far.

It's nearly quadruple what Quebec has collected, per person.

While video footage appears to show two people standing behind curtains on the Conservative side of the House of Commons as the count was underway, Scheer's chief of staff told CBC News Tuesday it wasn't him or Reid.

...locked when...voting, which means Mr. Scheer & Mr. Reid were in the caucus vestibule while the votes were initially being counted, & they didn’t return until they were certain they could register their votes without causing the government to fall. womenofabpoli.substack.com/p/ndp-and-cp...?
NDP and CPC ensure Liberal budget passes
For a budget vote, it was an incredible performance. I, for one, give it a genuine slow clap.

Does that mean a party cannot expel a MP/MLA from caucus too? Banning floor crossing, or requiring an immediate by-election, gives party leaders even MORE power.

Allowing single-stair apartment buildings is becoming a key indicator of whether a jurisdiction is innovation and evidence-based, or risk-averse and business-as-usual.

The correct answer is to allow single-stair buildings, by the way. #Calgary #Vancouver

I'm in Burlington, Ontario, today.

Popped by a neighborhood Shopper's to get my COVID-19 shot.

Administered by an Ontarian. Paid for by the Alberta government.

In Edmonton, the shot would have cost me $100 and I'd have had to wait weeks.

Make this make sense.

President Trump just raised tariffs on Canada over a Reagan ad quoting Reagan's anti-tariff views.

Is there a copyright issue?

The answer may depend which side of the border you're on.
