AB Municipalities need to stick up for themselves. Tell Smith and company to stay in their lane. Municipal voters need to contact their MLAs and tell them to quit stealing power. Let's stand up to this power-greedy UCP gov't.

This is the worst thing yet. The municipal level of politics is not the provincial government's plaything. It is a legitimate level of political power, elected by municipal voters. Smith and company should stay the hell out. This is raid on democracy in Alberta.

Broken Canada keeps racking up top-fives in world quality of life and economic performance rankings. When Mr. Poilievre says he can fix that, I believe him.

If you’d told me it’d happen late afternoon on the FIRST Sunday of this 9-day spring, well… words fail.
Let’s keep it going!!!!

So, after 9 years of Justin Trudeau, the International Monetary Fund has recently ranked Canada #1 in the G20 in its Budget Management Rankings.

Why is this not on the front page of every newspaper?
