I get it, but Heritage Park is well worth a visit. I understand how HP’s hands are tied as it depends on government funding of all levels.

That’s true. I thought you were referring to voting trends. Often it seems like voters vote one way provincially and another federally- to keep some kind of balance. Unless you live in Alberta, of course, where voters behave like sheep.

Experience tells me that provincial election results have actually little bearing on federal politics.

How can Trump qualify for the Peace Prize when he has declared war on Washington, DC, Chicago, Portland, and any Americans he doesn’t like?

Me neither. Especially if Trump keeps talking about a 51st state, gives us hassles at the border, sends troops to major cities, and continues to operate as a dictator.

Back in the day when I also thought George W. Bush was the worst US President in my lifetime.

Whoever wins as Mayor is likely to have only something like 25% of the ballot. Same for my ward, as the field is very crowded. I wish there was a preferential ballot in municipal elections.

These statistics are shocking! So much for “The Alberta Advantage!”

Just started watching this show on Crave recently and am enjoying all the subtle Canadianisms. In an early episode there’s a female investigative reporter (& potential love interest) named Mackenzie King.

If there’s as many as she claims (7/8) why not just give the vaccine to everyone under 65 anyway? Wouldn’t it be simpler? Oh, right, this is not about efficiency.

Once again CBC News goes easy on the UCP government. “Some people” should read “most people.” I also dispute LaGrange’s claim that 700,000 of Alberta’s 800,000 seniors over 65 will qualify for a free vaccine due to a health condition.

Sad news. I once had the pleasure of hearing him speak and he was a classy and intelligent guy.

I agree with most of this article but the comparison of Danielle Smith to Justin Trudeau mystifies me. What specific issues did JT inflate? Well, I guess comparing DS to JT will rally UCP supporters against her.

Urban voters are already underrepresented! Even if the proposal wasn’t gerrymandering, it ‘s still a detriment to effective representation. How does an MLA effectively address the concerns of both urban & rural constituents? Calgary tried making its wards an inner city/burb mix & it didn’t work.

Inviting this evil clown is something I’d expect from Danielle Smith, not even PP! I assume Roberts wasn’t going to come & speak for free, either. How is this justified? I’m not buying the “know thy enemy” excuse. We know all we need to know about Project 25 and it has no place in Canada!

She really hasn’t changed since her stint as a Trustee (what a misnomer in this case) at the Calgary Board of Education more than 25 years ago. The same narcissistic, flighty & ultimately destructive behaviour. Too bad more Albertans haven’t seen her for what was apparent then.

You took the words right out of my mouth, Laurie!

Well, Danielle Smith takes Albertans’ tax money and spends it on her cronies’ businesses and boondoggles to the US instead of things that could actually benefit Albertans such as Covid vaccines.
