It's bad enough that anti-Trudeau obsessive, climate crisis denier, Pierre Poilievre propagandist, and Danielle Smith apologist David Staples has a local platform in the Edmonton Journal, but what was the CBC thinking in giving The Stapler a national platform? The Sunday Magazine

The federal Chief Actuary has released their analysis of what Alberta would receive should it exit the CPP. It's clear and accessible; give it a read: osfi-bsif.gc.ca/en/oca/oca-fac… TL;DR: The Government of Alberta's 53% share is rejected. I'll explain. #cdnecon #cdnpoli

To me, temperatures above zero in Alberta in late December aren't "nice", they're alarming. And who likes slush, freeze-thaw and melting ODRs? Kim Nakrieko @MarkConnollyCBC #ClimateCrisis

There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States. Workers and communities in both our countries benefit from being each other’s biggest trading and security partner.

If Danielle Smith intends to defy a national consensus on how to respond to Donald Trump’s tariffs, she should call an election. albertapolitics.ca/2025/01/if-dan… #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #TrumpTariffs

I see that Danielle Smith and ever other oil and gas loving Conservative in Canada is sharing this latest exercise in spurious correlations. Let's pull it apart in a thread, shall we? 🧵

“It started with words.”   Howard Chandler is one of the few survivors of Auschwitz still with us today. His words will stay with me long after our conversation. #HolocaustRemembranceDay

On this day in 1967, Pierre Elliott Trudeau declared “There’s no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation,” and since then, we’ve legalized same-sex marriage, banned conversion therapy, and fought to protect trans rights.

Russia’s illegal war against Ukraine is not over yet.   But Canada will be there, standing with Ukraine, until it is.

This was Trudeau in Europe today. I know many of my fellow Albertans have been persuaded to hate him, but listen to this speech. It’s is shameful that he is being driven off the political stage at this moment of crisis. He’s not perfect, but he continues to do our country proud.

I swear I had a Chrystia Freeland shirt under my Oilers sweater. Great speech by Chrystia!

I'm still waiting for evidence that the Premier is not a separatist.
