Global Edmonton just reported that the maga musician's application to play at the Leg handstand was incomplete. So far so good, right? Hell no! Our UCP government is helping him fill out a complete application. I just can't...

E.M. Reported, she cooperated with the police. She gave her phone to the investigators. She withstood eight days of cross examination, she explained memory gaps, coping strategies, moments of freezing and self protection, and she ultimately was found “not credible” the verdict…

The #Alberta government’s $143M settlement with a coal company is drawing backlash from environmental groups, opposition MLAs & Indigenous leaders, who say the payout reflects years of policy flip-flopping that left taxpayers on the hook. #yyc @CTVCalgary ctvnews.ca/calgary/articl…

"The investment of public dollars to enable a private for-profit delivery stream did not achieve either of its most basic objectives: increase surgeries and reduce wait times." calgaryherald.com/opinion/opinio…

The UCP is making life more expensive for seniors in Alberta.

A local constituent shared how her loved one in a care home is facing delayed, dangerous support—not because of staff, but because they’re overworked and understaffed. This is the result of @ABDanielleSmith’s reckless cuts. Seniors deserve dignity, not delays.

Cancer patients are now at risk because of the measles outbreak. This is on you to fix, Premier. globalnews.ca/news/11303165/…

Whatever the outcome, one thing is clear. There was a lack of character in that room. Nobody stepped up and said “I don’t care what she’s saying, this isn’t right, we should be better than this.” Even if there may have been consent, just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

I feel that in a case such as this, where it's a he said/she said, both the victim and the defendants should be forced to take the stand. If the judge is basing her decision on the alleged inconsistencies in the victim's testimony, the defendants should face the same scrutiny.

All 5 players found not guilty of all charges!!! Will they celebrate by going to another London, Ontario bar?

The leases in question were granted in 2020, and then the policy was reversed in 2022.

“This case illustrates what survivors are up against: a system where the accused may remain silent and be presumed innocent, while complainants are dissected, doubted, and demeaned at every turn.”

Far-right, MAGA, hateful “Christian” Sean Feucht is booked at the #Alberta Legislature Grounds Bandshell on August 22nd. Other cities across Canada canceling his bookings now that his toxic rhetoric is exposed. r.pebmac.ca/https://www.th…

You must be joking. Those taxes offset the incredibly high costs of alcohol use to our health-care system and economy. In 2020 (likely even higher now), alcohol consumption cost Canadians $19.7 billion dollars in lost productivity, health care, criminal justice and other direct…

"Alberta government slammed for incompetence as pays out $143M in coal policy reversal" 🤔 thecanadianpressnews.ca/business/alber…

Fishing allegedly "65 yards" across a 🇨🇦-🇺🇸 marine border, a drift distance wind or tide could account for, and might even be a GPS error, a man was knocked overboard, handcuffed, and detained by the US Coast Guard. Boaters from both countries expect more care and courtesy than…

U of C economist @trevortombe demolishes separatist economic claims and points out that they seem to be planning to grab the pension savings of all Albertans. It’s not your money, separatists! #HandsOffOurPensions

The Red Deer Advocate reported that Alberta was sitting on the highest amount of unallocated transfer HC funds. WHERE DID OUR FUNDING GO?

Saskatchewan’s severe crime rate is the highest among all Canadian provinces and double the national average. Yesterday, Sask. Party Justice Minister Tim McLeod said he thought the newly released stats on crime are “encouraging.” Seriously, that’s what he said — you can’t make…
