If the tactics being used by #DanielleSmith and the #UCP to avoid a #publicinquiry are any indication, it suggests that such an inquiry could reveal the most corrupt government Alberta has ever experienced. #UCPCorruption #CorruptCare #UCPayToPlay #DodgyContracts #Ableg #ABpoli

Looks like the intervenor status question has been resolved in the Chief Electoral Office and the APP’s referendum question! Lukaszuk doesn’t get intervenor status, but 5 First Nations groups rightly do! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

"Although the province stopped tracking class sizes in 2019, educators say anecdotally their classrooms are becoming increasingly jammed." Honestly wild Alberta stopped tracking this data and we now have to rely on anecdotal evidence when it comes to a key issue holding up a new teachers contract.

Investigator’s report into Alberta Health Services contract allegations delayed again By Carrie Tait, as published by The Globe and Mail on September 24, 2025.

The Alberta NDP have issued another statement on the interim "CorruptCare" report that was due today... Which has been again delayed. And which government has now confirmed the public won't be able to see. They are neither happy nor surprised. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Introducing the “Unity Bus”. Coming to a small town near you! I’m heading on the road to bring the #ForeverCanadian petition to more Albertans. As the weather gets cooler, outdoor pop-ups will no longer be fun. So, we are pivoting! We need to push to hit 300,000 signatures.

Trump has lined photos of presidents along the White House colonnade, next to the Rose Garden — except for Biden, who’s represented by a photo of an autopen. Its almost like Trump is a very petty person.

“Enyinnah Okere, a deputy minister of communications, also said in an email the interim report won’t be made public, citing no requirement to do so in the terms of the investigation set by the government.” So no interim report for public eyes. #abpoli www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

With the Globe breaking new details on “CorruptCare” and a preliminary report due today, the NDP are already predicting the report won’t be anywhere good enough and are calling for a public inquiry. And they’re right. Albertans deserve a public inquiry. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

“This situation is a devastating example of the abhorrent governance that a small group of municipal elected officials in our region continue to perpetuate, that undermines transparency, accountability and, ultimately, public trust,."

"If we see examples of municipalities wading out into identity politics, the things that are not core services, and we will of course have a responsibility to step in to make sure those core services are being provided."

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is directing her municipal affairs minister to review local spending decisions — including how much elected municipal officials get paid.

“From that large infrastructure project, to also an emphasis on rural infrastructure as well — whether it’s water, road or bridge infrastructure,” Dreeshen said. “It’s pretty ambitious, and I’m looking forward to working at it over the next two years.”

“I can think of few things that would undermine public confidence in the impartiality of our judges [more] than the disclosure that a judge is still involved in any way in partisan politics.”

“It’s one thing to have these catch phrases that municipalities are passing policy in a woke culture ... but show me where and how you’re going to do that, not just using catch phrases for a headline."

"However, a driver's licence or provincial ID is not required to vote in federal or Alberta provincial elections, and both Elections Canada and Elections Alberta have reported few incidents of ineligible voting."

Wayne Horton writes, "All the world was indeed a stage that day—and Trump cast himself as ringmaster in a spectacle many observers likened to a clown show."

To quote Barack Obama at his most glib, the 1980s are calling to ask for their foreign policy back.

But the world U.S. President Donald Trump described in his speech at the UN General Assembly didn’t match the one many world leaders in the audience are contending with. Nor did it align with what scientists have long been observing.

"The White House had promised a UN speech that would take aim at global institutions. But some observers believe his words struck at the heart of what the UN is supposed to do — namely, make life better for people of all nations."

From Public Notice ... "During his unhinged rant to the United Nations yesterday, Donald Trump tried to turn his lawless attacks on purported “drug boats” in the southern Caribbean into a punchline of sorts."

It was perhaps an ominous sign when the first thing President Trump said in his UN General Assembly speech was that his teleprompter was broken. "...nevertheless,” he said, sounding less than happy, “That way you speak more from the heart.”
