Given the failures of EDLs elsewhere, why is Smith making an unpopular, ineffective, and expensive new ID mandatory in Alberta?

So maybe the problem wasn’t with the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics?

IT’S ALBERTA DAY! 120 years ago, on September 1, 1905, Government of Canada established Alberta out of Canada’s North-West Territories. Alberta never joined Canada. Let’s celebrate Alberta’s place in Canada by signing the #ForeverCanadian petition! Forever-Canadian.ca

Israel bombed and murdered the Prime Minister of Yemen along with several cabinet members, and there is zero outrage in Western media… it’s barely even a story. The level of impunity is breathtaking.

This is absolute truth. Add in I've read the Book of Mormon & done a little bit of Jehovah Witness readings. I'm not being arrogant when I tell Bible thumpers that I probably know their book BETTER than them..I'm WARNING THEM to not TEST ME🤷‍♀️

Busy Sunday for #ForeverCanadian volunteers across Alberta. Thank you Forever Canadians for your hard work.

Update: the Auditor General's office has replied to my questions sent on August 19. Full text pasted at the bottom of the story. This piece is beginning to get media traction, so look for it upcoming in mainstream outlets. drugdatadecoded.ca/province-to-...

🤣😂 Your Morning Laugh🤣😂. Friday AG Pam Bondi must start delivering Epstein Files to Congress which she will slow the process down by doing it in chunks rather then Full Release. Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein ⚖️⚖️👊😎

Experts know what they don’t know. Fake experts don’t even know what they think they know.

Stop funding the IDF death squads. We should be spending the money to support the international war crimes investigations of the deliberate mass shootings of starving people.

In 2024, Musk endorsed Trump & Poilievre. When Trump won in 2016, Poilievre was quick to congratulate him. After losing his seat, Poilievre is scrambling to stay in politics through a by-election. The same billionaires and extremist agendas driving U.S. politics are backing Poilievre. #cdnpoli

If fighting bans on forest hiking/camping when there is extreme wildfire risk is the forested hill the far right wants to die on, I say let them.

Both the Star and CP just wrote up Ford's comments, and left out the fact that he obviously didn't read the ruling and just decided to petulantly lie about it. Neither story pointed out the judge said that Ford's government didn't try to make their case, and blatantly lied in what they did say.

the main thing you need to know about all these tariffs is that Donny's name is on every page of the Epstein Files

If anyone wonders how Poilievre lost the election, lost his seat and why he skipped all-candidates debates in his riding, please search for video clips of the all-candidates debate he did tonight in the Alberta riding he’s parachuted into and you’ll see why. Unbearable to watch.

How did we get an entire corporate and political world full of scumbags and bastards, all we did was incentivize that behavior at every turn

Meanwhile in #Canada... 👀😅🤣

Loblaws still up to shenanigans.

Health care is provincial… and Danielle Smith is completely selling us out. #cdnpoli

"Critchley pointed out in her closing statement that several candidates, including Poilievre, won't be able to vote in the byelection because they don't live in the riding. She said those from outside the riding cannot understand the local issues." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Billions of dollars are given to oil and gas corporations each year in the form of subsidies from governments in Canada. Exactly how many billions is a matter of debate. And what even is a subsidy anyway? @drewanderson.bsky.social explains: thenarwhal.ca/oil-and-gas-...

holy shit @bmeiselas.bsky.social 😭

The Globe and Mail has been breaking stories on MHCare and the children's medication from Turkey since 2023. And we are gonna keep doing it. --> www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

Hey, Mayor of Kelowna. vm.tiktok.com/ZMScro4yv/

Whatever’s in the Epstein files about Trump is so bad that he called them a hoax, accused Obama of treason, shut down the Epstein investigation, recessed Congress to prevent a vote on releasing the files, and rushed his criminal attorney to prison to offer Epstein’s accomplice an immunity deal

Hey, Battle River-Crowfoot residents Remember when PP's government [Harper government] rejected Canadian farmers' offer to buy the CWB? Remember when they sold it to a Saudi-backed company instead? Entire video: vm.tiktok.com/ZMSnSEkHc/

Haha

This is a must-watch message from Nenshi. He’s calm, introspective, and clearly knows how to focus on the right things. I hadn’t seen the clip of Smith’s angry diatribe before; it rattled me too. You can feel the reactive, self-centered ire in her voice, and she shows an obvious lack of leadership.

Watching the Sherwood Park Alberta Next townhall. Much more contentious than the Red Deer one. People cut off, booing, some outbursts by the panelists. Pension comments were especially divisive.

I think it is important to understand for Americans that Canadians do not feel inferior to Americans. In any way. You’re bigger and richer and more scary violent but we’re good with who we are. And you should understand that.

lol "caught off-guard". They literally designed the gun to be as close to illegal as they possibly could and they went to far. They screwed up. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Our media cannot be foreign-owned. This needed to happen long ago; it’s a national threat and a matter of foreign interference. And we definitely shouldn’t be subsidizing American-owned media. Postmedia, we’re looking at you and your constant endorsement of Cons every election.

This was entirely predictable, as the Alberta conservatives are following the playbook of American conservatives for this and many other things.

Alberta has more measles cases per capita than anywhere else in North America

It's officially day 90 of Trump's '90 deals in 90 days' bullshit tariff policy. He has 0 deals implemented.

“It’s a huge red flag for the direction in which we’re going." Yep. Dark Age 2.0 Measles Cases Hit Record High, 25 Years After U.S. Eliminated the Disease www.nytimes.com/2025/07/09/w... And then there's Alberta...

1 in 5. 🙄 “Alberta Sheriff’s Police Service.” ASPS. They called themselves ASPS. Not entirely inappropriate, though I was expecting it to be called Alberta ICE. Get ready for the equally popular Alberta Pension Plan that will not require any consultation either!
