If you still need to vote in the Alberta municipal election - leave work early! The UCPs new rules have slowed voting to a crawl. It’s voter suppression, Alberta style - unnecessary paperwork hand written in triplicate.

Important safety tip: “can this meeting not have been an email” does not apply to wives.

Don’t for a moment think adding citizenship status to your driver licence is about good governance - the UCP would force immigrants to wear symbols on their clothing if they could.

Murder of Charlie Kirk = Reichstag Fire? We’ll see in 48 hours.

I see people on here criticizing that they aren’t “allowed” to criticize Carney and apparently irony is well and thriving.

Dear Superstore - you carry 20 types of apples and they are *all* from the US. So I’ll be heading to Sobeys. Maybe read the memo 40 million Canadians have sent you.

#Canada 🇨🇦 🔄❤️🇨🇦

I’m not sure why people think that there is a chance in hell that Poilievre might lose the by-election. 70% - 75% CPC.

Any strictly Alberta issues Premier Eby would like to weigh in on? Perhaps Wab Kinew can share his thoughts on Alberta forest fire management failures . Or is only Alberta allowed to stick its nose in? cheknews.ca/danielle-smi...

It’s been raining so hard my dry decorative creek has become an actual creek. #yyc

I’m watching three seeding planes fly around Calgary on Flightradar 24. I appreciate that insurance companies are paying to protect us from massive hail but frustrated our own provincial government can’t be bothered.

Mark Carney is a blue Liberal. Like Paul Martin. Even Uncle Louie. If you are shocked by his approach to the economy, the monarchy or nationalism I’m not sure how he could have been any clearer.

Question for AB politicos: the newly reregistered Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta will definitely have two sitting MLAs next session. How many others do you think will leave Danielle to join them? And how many seats for official party status? #ableg

Been standing in line at Urgent Care for 20 minutes just to see a triage nurse for my very sick wife but sure, Danielle, please explain why we should spend that $100 million on a provincial police force instead. #ableg

Timeline cleanse: my roses after the rain

Alberta is Calling! (just not you)

I’m hoping the “Energy Corridor” will bring us some of that cheap clean electricity from the east coast.

If I was to design a corrupt government from scratch, it would be indistinguishable from the UCP.

Just in case you want to know how hard the UCP is willing to knife Canada in the back … #abpoli

The Oilers are at the point where theyre going to have to kidnap a number 1 goalie next year.

I hope people at the Global Petroleum Show in Calgary are still able to see the drilling equipment through the wildfire smoke.

I saw a 1930’s picture last week of a German soldier protecting a member of the paramilitary SS as he went searching for “undesirables”. History always repeats itself for those paying attention.

I’ve had what looks like a RCAF Griffon circling my end of town for the past two days. Odd because we’re at the opposite side of town from Calgary International and nowhere near the route out to Kananaskis for the G7. The obvious conclusion is a dignitary wants to come and visit my awesome garden.

Adam Waterous and Jack Mintz as your trade experts, Globe and Mail? Lower taxes and build pipelines - some out of the box thinking there.

Everybody in Edmonton singing the national anthem? Suck it, seperatists.

60 year old Flames fan here. I was asked if I was cheering for the Oilers. Was hard to explain to the 20 year old bartender why - as a Canadian - I hope they win but - as a Calgarian - would rather sit in a tub of acid and bang nails into my head than sit down and watch them win.

Supporting local retailers helps remind you just how shitty Canadian Tire’s customer service is.

Dear UCP - if you don’t want to have people questioning why your family is involved with government, stop involving them.

Also, former EPS chief Dale McFee, hired by Danielle Smith as friend as the most powerful civil servant in the UCP government, had a personal relationship with that businessman, Sam Mraiche. Awkward situation given the RCMP criminal investigation. I could go on and on with the connections.

Jason Kenney, Alberta’s first UCP premier, warns that its second one could kill investment with her separation talk. albertapolitics.ca/2025/05/jaso...

Danielle Smith is just mad because not one single middle eastern dictatorship has offered her a free luxury plane.

The whole ballot initiative/ citizen referendum is only allowed to advance right wing causes. Albertans take note. boltsmag.org/florida-new-...

One of the ongoing complaints Alberta seems to have are federal transfer payments to Quebec. One of the biggest reasons they need transfer payments is the absolute destruction the threat of separation wreaked on their economy. The head offices and capital that fled never returned.

I wonder which one of the kids’ bedrooms Pierre gave Scheer to stay in at Stornoway for the next couple of months (“…and bring your own sheets!”)

Danielle Smith’s hero Ron DeSantis was all in favour of ballot measures as well - right up until voters started approving things he disagreed with. Then he banned ballot measures in a dead of night session. It’s never been about what actual voters wants.

The UCP really needs to start dealing with the wing nuts at the top.

Keep Calm and Carney On

“And what brings you to Idaho, Mr Bond?” www.reuters.com/business/med...

The reason Trump says you can have only 5 pencils is because he wants to deport all the other colours in the pack.

$280000 for carpet!? They should have gotten quotes from *three* UCP cabinet ministers’ cousins.

Pierre Poliviere says he’s looking forward to representing the people in Medicine Top, Cameron and Westaskwhatever.

“Mr Poilievre - as a future Alberta MP, where do you stand on a potential referendum for Alberta separation?” Every day, media. Ask him this every day.

Never thought the Ethics Commissioner needed to add an Ancestry DNA search for UCP MLAs, but here we are.

Poilievre will be gone after this. J Curve Theory lives on.

For the *love of God* stop saying all the NDP votes went to the Liberals. It’s not true - it shifted just as much to the Conservatives. The Blue Orange Shift is real.

Am I the only one who thinks Chat GPT is Skynet on training wheels?

Dear Stephen Harper: Mark Carney was governor of the Bank of Canada and so *didn’t* work for you. Nice attempt at smiling though - you’ve almost got it figured out.

I hope Poilievre doesn’t go missing because at this point the Conservative campaign would take his picture off the back of the milk carton.

Just finished voting in the advance poll. Saturday night 730 and there was at least a dozen people there doing the same. An effective Conservative GOTV (I’m in Calgary Heritage where it’s “how much will they win by”)? Or something more?

A reminder that Trump has *not* removed any of his unjustified tariffs from Canadian products.
