My latest long-read looks at the gap between what Danielle Smith says about Alberta independence and what many Albertans think she believes. The argument: this is less about separatism and more about managing a fragile conservative coalition. open.substack.com/pub/davidco...

100000% It’s also a bandaid on a bullet hole. They might now be trying to mitigate some potential damage for the whales who were highlighted in the Star piece, but guess who is still at risk as a result of the proposed changes? EVERY SINGLE FUCKIN SPECIES IN THE WAY OF A MAJOR PROJECT!!

You thought the voters list debacle was bad? 20 years ago, Alberta Conservatives wanted our birthdays on it too! #abpoli rabble.ca/politics/can...

The response from Fraser and the OLP continues to be an expression of full confidence in the system, even after learning of all the irregularities claimed by Erskine-Smith. This in and of itself is an odd move, @supriya.bsky.social writes.

It is critically important to not ‘fall asleep’ because he is competent and intelligent. Nobody us perfect. We need to keep VALUES front and centre in decision-making and I’m not talking about stock values.

If you raise your hand & say you’re going to be net zero by 2050, you need to do the work: short-term targets, credible transition plan, real emissions going down, money going from fossil fuels to clean, no new investment in fossil fuel infrastructure. UN “Integrity Matters” report I chaired.

So disappointing. Dismantling Canada’s climate plan to meet the demands of a reckless premier and rich oil & gas companies not only increases our emissions, it undermines our competiveness as the clean energy transition accelerates - and it leaves our kids to pay the price.

In just one year, Carney has wrecked a decade's worth of progress. The old climate strategy wasn't enough, but rather than strengthen it he dismantled every meaningful policy, stomped on the gas to deliver more fossil fuels, and concentrated power to run roughshod over opposition to his agenda.

From the backgrounder to today's announcement. This is a big deal for/in Alberta.

It should go without saying that diversifying Alberta’s exports would mean supporting any export besides oil and gas — and reducing emissions requires emitting less of them. My column on today's announcement for @nationalobserver.com

The Alberta legislature is the biggest dumpster fire in Canada. Danielle Smith is threatening to turn it into a four-alarm national blaze. My latest on calling out Donbas Danielle and her attack on our country. www.youtube.com/shorts/HrF_V...

Our sister pro-democracy crew at the OShow ask a straightforward question.

I met Gabor Maté who told a story of being born in Hungary prior to the Nazi mass Jewish deportation. As a baby he was crying inconsolably. His mother called the doctor.She thought something was wrong. The doctor said, all the Jewish babies are crying because they sense the terror. A truth teller.

A Harper government wouldn't be embracing clean electricity and putting government funds towards its infrastructure, or implementing an industrial carbon tax against the express wishes of the oil and gas industry. We know this because he didn’t, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes.

I thought I was going to report on Carney’s office being caught in a lie. But it’s turned into a story of a potentially hallucinated claim that led to a politician getting widely dunked on. Oh, and a female columnist who called out the error before it was corrected? She had *her* piece pulled:

BRANDON — Premier Wab Kinew joined dozens of community members in Brandon Thursday on a walk to raise awareness among men and boys about the need to take action to end gender-based violence.

CALGARY – Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith are to meet today in Calgary, where they’re expected to announce an agreement on the future of industrial carbon emission pricing in the province.
