Danielle Smith tried to sell her federal-Alberta energy deal to the UCP convention crowd: tepid applause.
She told them that this proved Canada can work well for Alberta’s interests: loud boos.
This ain’t a base that wants Smith to work with a Liberal PM on a better industrial carbon tax.

Alberta’s emissions performance credits, which can be used to comply with the industrial carbon pricing system, are now trading at just C$17 per tonne.
The frozen $95 per tonne headline price is largely irrelevant.

The UCP argues recall is being weaponized against policy, not misconduct.
By that logic, the Gondek recall was also weaponized, as it was explicitly against her policies.
The UCP's reaction to the weaponized recall on Gondek?
To make recall easier.

One of the things that makes me so proud to be Canadian, especially when you talk to people who don’t live here, is our health care system. Instead of finding ways to make it better and more accessible for all, Danielle Smith’s trying to find more ways to make it look like Trump’s America. #abhealth

They are saying the quiet part of the Invasion of Iraq out loud. Wasn’t Trump’s appeal in 2016 that he allegedly opposed the war unlike the elite? (he was not opposed and in fact supported it until politically inconvenient).

Fun little story of the greatest children’s books ever written by the absolute GOAT, Robert Munsch. Mum read this to me all the time (caught her a few times as a kid tearing up but never understood why). Now, reading it to my kids at night, the waterworks are almost always on the verge at the end.
An illustration in Robert Munsch’s beloved Love You Forever didn’t seem right. I set out to discover why
I memorized every word of Love You Forever as a kid, but when I read it to my own children, one page left me unsettled

Let’s be clear on this: Danielle Smith is ripping up the Charter of Rights & Freedoms to take away rights from the most vulnerable people in Alberta. And she’s doing it to protect herself from the militant wing of her own party, nothing more. Hope it’s all she’s ever remembered for in the long run
