We can measure this, you know. There is something called the inequality-adjusted Human Development Index, which measures living standards. Lowest in the world is Sierra Leone (0.324). Canada's score = 0.864, ranked #18 in the world. By the way, the USA scores 0.832, ranked #29.

This is my first-edition copy of The Day of the Jackal. Its combination of fascinating practical detail and edge-of-your-seat suspense was revolutionary, and it challenged every subsequent thriller writer—including me—to aim that high.

If you analysed a banana, you’d find dozens of chemicals with long names. That’s not scary, it’s normal. All food is made of chemicals.

A frustrated former Lethbridge mayor Chris Spearman challenges Premier Danielle Smith at a raucous UCP townhall on coal mining. ā€œCould you commit to us as quickly as you did to the separatists that you would hold a referendum on coal mining in Alberta and abide by the results.ā€

On behalf of Alberta’s New Democrats, I want to extend a warm welcome to all attending the G7 Leaders’ Summit. Welcome to Alberta, and to beautiful Kananaskis! This summit comes at a time of global uncertainty, but also of great opportunity. Alberta knows a thing or two about

Public about the real threat of covid infections, and the importance of vaccination. What’s she’s saying here literally contributes to less vaccine uptake. Not all opinions are valid and deserve a platform. Someone who has demonstrated over decades that she is not credible

Fact check for Donald J. Trump: Russia was kicked out of the G8 in 2014. Justin Trudeau came into power in late 2015. So Trump's grievance would apparently be with Stephen Harper (who I bet doesn't regret the ejection.) edition.cnn.com/2014/03/24/pol…

I’ve always wondered why people consider Eyes Wide Shut one of Kubrick’s worst, when it’s probably one of his best.

Danielle Smith gov't spent nearly 2yrs fighting to not release its Alberta pension plan survey. It's finally out. Only 10% of people expressed support, 63% said don't. Matthew Black, at long last. edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/…
