Its like aliens intercepted nothing but King of the Hill episodes and that was their only basis on which to send an infiltrator to take over our society by winning over conservatives through a political campaign. Like Third Rock from the Sun meets Veep. ☘️🍺

If the trip was truly and defensibly in the best interests of Albertans, it wouldn't be hard to explain to Albertans why we paid for it. Conflict of Interest applies as much — if not more so — to foreign powers. (And she really bought that The Kingdom cares about world poverty? She doesn't even)

Back-to-back ALCS and WBC is a pretty good record for Giménez

I can’t think of another provincial government pushing a study through academic peer review that was so visibly infested with undisclosed conflicts of interest and easily discernible methodological flaws — breaking journal rules. This should be hugely alarming for the academic world.

Ooh, another admin law Q just dropped

I don’t think I’ve seen it noted elsewhere, but I make the point in the second segment of today’s podcast that the person Dan Williams appointed as Calgary’s new water czar is a UCP donor and speaker at next month’s Strong & Free Network (Manning Centre) conference. 🙄

The new UCP education taxes imposed on homeowners will be given to exclusive private schools #yql #yyc #yeg albertapolitics.ca/2026/03/90m-...

SCOOP From 2021-25, the Alberta government gave $745,000 in conference sponsorships to Last Door. Their functions are redacted, but they appear linked to conflicts of interest among authors of a recent government study working to justify consumption site closures. drugdatadecoded.ca/alberta-gove...

They did the cartoon.

Unpopular opinion: a "right to bank" should be a statutorily protected thing (with narrow exceptions) and I actually agree with the convoyers that the government overstepped when denying banking. Liberals showed lack of imagination on how it could be weaponized by future fascist-curious gov'ts

When Danielle Smith claimed 80% of federally picked judges had donated to Liberals, that was way higher than any figure I'd researched. I dug into it. Could confidently write here: "It is not true. The single media source Smith got that fact from has since corrected it." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
