Hell hath froze the eff over when I’m sharing a clip of former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, sounding off on the stupidity of the separatist movement. YUP - JK got it right. 🤷‍♀️ #ableg #cdnpoli

The UCP is rewriting the rules of democracy to keep themselves in power. Bills 50, 51, and 54 are about one thing: making it harder for Albertans to hold them accountable. We deserve better. #ableg #abpoli

There is value in asking big questions about Alberta’s future and doing so in a way that brings people together. However, the “Alberta Accord” and “Alberta Next Panel” are likely to do the opposite. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

My opening remarks in defence of the CBC at the recent Mount Royal debate.

When it comes to attacking "woke ideology" in Canada, what is Pierre Poilievre planning? He won't tell us. But anti-woke leaders like Trump and Smith have sketched out the policy blueprints. Here's what we may expect from a Poilievre government. open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

“…misinformation and disinformation can cause immense harm by undermining trust in science through their impact on public narratives.” Disinformation damages democracy, but perhaps not in the way you think phys.org/news/2025-04...

This is the sort of scathing - searingly accurate - analysis you won't read in a PostMedia newspaper. UCP supporters who say they are Canadian patriots need to read this. Danielle Smith's caucus needs to read this.

"Art of the deal"

Meiselas: Steve Witkoff, was allegedly in Moscow while he was on this group chat. Do you believe the Russians now have all of that information and potentially more? Rice: Well, yes—the Russians have whatever Witkoff was doing or saying on his personal cell phone. The Russians undoubtedly have it.

As the investigations proliferate and expand, as the evidence mounts, history tells us that leaks and admissions become more frequent.

A new @carrietait.bsky.social & @alannasmith.bsky.social story reveals that Alberta's Turkish meds importer had stakes in proposed private surgery co's tied up in AHS ex-CEO's allegations. So much in here: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

Can't Let Go: How Misinformation Affects Decision Making www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/insi... "The sheer volume of falsehoods is bound to have an effect on our decision making." "...people more strongly believe previously encountered statements, including false statements."

“But if US businesses needs import metals to make stuff - and they don’t make enough of their own - why would they deliberately make it more expensive?” I try and explain on CBC News.

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

SCOOP: Danielle Smith's government fired the head of Alberta Health Services two days before she was to meet with the Auditor-General to discuss her internal investigation into procurement contracts and deals for private surgical facilities. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... #abpoli #ableg

“The mix in Alberta, at least going forward, is going to be much more fossil fuel-based generation and less renewables than we would have seen under the current market structure,” Mr. Balaban said. “It’s trying to drive a certain outcome that the province wants to see.” 🎁
