I'm sorry. I must have missed this. How can any employer in the province be excluded from Workers Comp?

I believe E.M. I believe Hockey Canada encouraged a toxic culture of sexism and violence on and off the ice. I believe the police failed in their duty to investigate properly. Whatever happens, we must do better to protect girls and women from sexual assault and support them when they report.

Recently I met with a constituent who had the shock of a lifetime, when her grant application for her business was cancelled. She is not alone. Too many Albertans are suffering the consequences of this government's poor decision making. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

In a normal and functioning government, these kinds of changes are planned and announced far ahead of time to avoid people losing money and property.

A US deficit of $2.3 trillion is about 7.5% of expected US GDP in 2026. Canada is in the range of 2% defict/GDP. Their 10 year bond is about 4.5%; ours is about 3.5%.

Amery admitted, months into this scandal, that he’s a long-time personal friend and relative of the man whose business contracts with the UCP are at the heart of the scandal. That’s simply not acceptable when Albertans deserve ethical, competent government. Amery has got to go. Immediately.

An important thread on the Calgary Police Service and its leadership, including CPS’s role (and possible influences on its actions) in a violent takedown of a peaceful protest at the University of Calgary exactly one year ago today.

This is extremely relevant. Montreal and Quebec lost head offices, businesses and skilled jobs. Not because they left but because they threatened to. #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg

I'm often asked: What motivates Danielle Smith to do the radical things she does? After all, many of her actions fly in the face of public opinion, the constitution, conservative ideology, and her own public commitments. I used to equivocate. I'm about ready to call it.🧵

🧵 The chief of police resigns in Calgary two years before his contract ends, forfeiting >$500,000 in salary, and nobody asks any questions. No news since Saturday, when 100% of stories were reprints of police-friendly public statements. I have a few ideas about what might have happened. 1/

Watched Premier Smith's address. Most of it was the familiar (and for many legitimate) grievances that Alberta has with the federal government. Things that Smith has said for years and amplified during the federal election. But there were two newish items. A 🧵

Another manufactured crisis coming Monday. More rage theatre. Another attempt to make all of Canada believe Alberta wants out. We don’t. And we are exhausted — by the corruption, the chaos, the clown act. It’s the flailing of the most incompetent, dishonest premier we’ve ever had. #ableg #abpoli
