Canadians outside Alberta, pay particular attention. If Smith succeeds, she will infect other provinces with "ungoverning."

Did Adriana Lagrange lie to cover up connections with the "Corrupt Care" scandal and recovery Alberta?

Five of the nine are in Calgary. I have no idea if they will be successful but I do like the idea of the recalls drumming up opposition to UCP MLAs in Calgary prior to the next election. We can take that energy into the writ period.
I am now having doubts about an early election call though.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

During the same week that the UCP is expanding privatization, the auditor general finds that government interference cost taxpayers over $100 million.
