Maybe someone in Alberta can gimme a timeline on when you all might be willing to accept that everything - EVERYTHING - Danielle Smith is doing right now is about the AHS scandal. ALL. OF. IT. Yes, THAT is how bad this scandal is. Accept it & pass it on. #ableg

Smith has touched off a firestorm! Today Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation called for all resource exploration to cease, citing First Nations responsibility to the crown under treaty and questioning who Smith was exploring for. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I think Saskatchewan needs to follow the Vatican's approach to announcing new leadership. It would be more honest. When the Co-op Refinery flare stake ignites, you know the oil industry has chosen a new Premier.

As oil is tanking I want to remind #abpoli & #saskpoli that when normal Canadians advocate for a green transition, we never ever mean at the expense of Albertans or Saskatchewanians. We mean let’s build a green future with you leading it, and profiting from it instead of oil billionaires.

Anonymous donation to the Sask Party last year. $25k from a numbered Alberta Corporation. No problem? Not under our outdated wild west political donation laws.

We always knew Conservatives heads on the prairies would start exploding if the Liberals won another mandate. There's no excuse to do a convoy, so now it's separatism.

It would cost millions to rebuild/refurbish 24 Sussex Drive, but I bet the carpeting wouldn’t cost $280,000.

Media-shy Poilievre is running to lead a small rural town, and as someone from a small rural town I can tell you that he is NOT ready for the level of gossip that spreads there. You can avoid reporters, but you can't avoid Loose Lips Linda at the local roller rink, Pierre

I suspect there’s a not insignificant number of Alberta separatists who think they’re actually going to Bugs Bunny the province from the rest of Canada.

I was in the room and glad to see my colleagues asking tough questions about the new Urgent Care Clinics being planned around the province. The health minister did not adequately answer the questions asked of him. globalnews.ca/news/1116217...

Just imagine the situation is reversed and instead of Poilievre, it’s an unelected Carney running in the forthcoming by-election; the sheer amount of outrage it would elicit would be felt by the penguins of Heard Island. And it’s all but certain there would be a second Freedom Convoy.
