Kevin O'Leary to @ianhanomansing.bsky.social on Cross Country Checkup, rough quote: "The Canadian dollar has dropped 40% against the US dollar under Trudeau." Fact check: the CAD has dropped 34% from the 2011 peak, but just 4% of that drop happened under Trudeau. The big drop happened under Harper.

Keeping students with complex needs at home and education workers on the street looked like a good solution to the ministry and Minister Demetrios Nicolaides. ALL students deserve education and workers deserve fair wages. #ableg #abpoli #SupportEducationWorkers

At a minimum a third party should be investigating this issue; preferably there should be a judicial review. Otherwise it is too easy for political interference. #ableg #abpoli

Smith and LaGrange don't want to deal with allegations that involve government and even the premier's office. Instead they try to turn the blame on AHS. Deflection at its most obvious. Column calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... #ableg #abhealth #abpoli #cdnpoli #yyc #yeg #AHS

I got an email response from the City of Lethbridge. February 14 I wrote to the Mayor and Council after listening to @mayorhyggen.bsky.social at SACPA on Feb. 13. I am pleased the Grassy Mountain coal issues and our water from the Eastern Slopes will be addressed at the February 25 Council meeting.

It is crisp and cold in Lethbridge AB but in the south facing window, the banana, bird of paradise and other plants are growing just fine!

I watched live last night's short podcast of The Breakdown. It is now silenced. Nate Pike & The Breakdown have been informing Albertans for a long time about our current government. FOIPS were done; they were reported, not unlike others were reporting. This whole debacle "stinks to high heaven."

Have a great Family Day weekend, Alberta, and let us hold the Reason for the Season in our hearts: Don Getty’s son’s cocaine arrest, and the need for an Alberta Premier to keep the social conservative flank of his caucus happy.

When you have to say this in an official announcement, you know something is up… “As Premier [Daniel Smith], I was not involved in any wrongdoing. Any insinuation to the contrary is false, baseless and defamatory.” > www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?... #Alberta #abpoli #cdnpoli

I know the answer to that 🙋‍♀️ Very. Very dumb. #abpoli

Four days it took her to say anything. And then she says … she will do nothing.  Not good enough. Her own office is implicated. The investigation can’t be delivered to the people being investigated. How dumb does she think Albertans are? /1

This is well done but I'm surprised to see "Danielle Smith’s Call with Artur Pawlowski (2023)" listed as an example of a scandal that sticks. Maybe it did stick in some sense but Premier Smith paid zero political price for unconstitutional behaviour. #ableg #abpoli

No other premier in Alberta history could survive 48 hours under the cloud of suspicion Smith now faces. Over half a billion dollars makes Sky Palace look like a sandcastle. If her cabinet and MLAs aren't meeting to discuss, it's a dereliction of duty. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...
