One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

I’m old enough to remember something about a 90-day healthcare guarantee and a massive restructuring that was supposed to fix this problem. Instead the metrics are worsening.

This week, Alberta released new migration numbers. And far from being overwhelmed by immigrants - we are actually losing international newcomers. In Q1 2026, there were -648 net migrants to Alberta of international origins, a drop of -105.8% from Q1 2025. Check out these graphs.

Alberta, what do you get out of the $91,000,000, yes, $91 million referendum? Nothing. This $91 million could have been spent on building 3 schools, or 4 senior homes, or emergency rooms, hiring doctors or nurses. Instead, you get nothing.

While Albertans were distracted by separatist nonsense, you may have missed the fact that Danielle Smith has functionally stripped Albertans of their constitutional right to MAID, making us 2nd-class Canadians. Where was the outrage? Well, here’s mine.

Despite what she’s saying in this press conference about how she can’t ignore the frustration of Albertans, I’d say that DS is pretty comfortable ignoring the frustration of AISH recipients, teachers, healthcare workers, advocates for trans youth, environmentalists, judges … and on and on.

If you want democracy, don’t try to do an end-run around democracy. Test your ideas in the electoral process. The judiciary is supposed to also serve as a check and balance to potential political corruption. And they do. To frame it as anti-democratic is bordering on rhetorical insanity.

Hey, Canadian media. Can you please stop portraying Alberta as separatist? A minority of Albertans want to separate. The majority of us want to separate from the separatists. Report on that and the divisiveness the UCP has fomented.
