If the premier wanted this to look above board and impartial, she would have picked from the many retired judges who don't have a recent history of donating to political party. Instead, we get this:

Outrage is like eating junk food. It feels good to gorge on it... at first. Albertans are starved for the nourishment of kindness, generosity, and community. Let's break the cycle by being kind and generous community builders.

The recent news that a German conglomerate is buying into Ksi Lisims LNG doesn't mean Justin Trudeau was wrong about the lack of a business case for an east coast terminal. If anything, the case for *west coast* LNG is getting weaker by the day. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/06/03/o...

The absolute bottom of the journalistic barrel is people in the media chiding Scott Pelley for having the gall to confront Bilton. If you want a job licking boots, become a bootlicker. You’re not a journalist.

a new funniest outcome from sext-gate has arrived

I sincerely hope that the Las Vegas Golden Knights and their “Free Alberta“ rapist goaltender get their asses kicked by the Carolina Hurricanes.

Bexte lives in Alberta. Findlay is in Vancouver.

Oh for fuck’s sake (from a Globe and Mail column).

Max is one smart guy. If you're interested in climate policy and the thrashing about of certain AB columnists, elderly NP hacks, and how non-petro solutions are slowly taking over, this article is for you.

"as the cost of generating and storing clean energy keeps getting cheaper just as the cost of relying on fossil fuel imports is skyrocketing higher. In time, that will do more to threaten the profitability of the oil and gas industry — and eventually, if it doesn’t react, its viability."

With Steven Guilbeault leaving the Liberal Party, the Justin Trudeau era is officially over. We should probably leave its climate politics in the past as well — and embrace something more effective. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/06/02/o...

Bitcoin is sad again

"Antisemitism breaks it. Islamophobia breaks it. Burning churches breaks it. Transphobia breaks it. The targeting of any Canadian for their faith, their origin, or their identity breaks it." This was a very good speech by PM Mark Carney. Strongly recommend reading or watching the whole thing.

Trump is a dope. 😆

In 2010, an Environics poll showed that 28% of Albertans agreed with the statement that "Western Canada gets so few benefits from being part of Canada that they might as well go it on their own." When Harper was PM. So, you know, not zero.

Angriest, most obviously miserable president of ny lifetime at 1am last night. EVERY accusation is a confession.

can we just let them wait to announce it

A moment of silence for the white man, who is very much alive, for murdering a Black man, who is very much dead.

I know when we’ll see a lot of ‘em.

Of all of Poilievre's questionable verbal forays today, this was the one that made me guffaw

This political and cultural moment is crying out for people to plainly tell our ruling class of liars, thieves, and charlatans to eat shit. It's the fastest track to superstardom

congrats to jared polis once again

Ibbitson has long tended to analyze the country he would like to live in, rather than the country he does live in, and this argument fits in that. It's mostly about trying to jam historical narratives into the current context *without reckoning at all with how UCP-MAGA Alberta currently thinks*

If CBS brass doesn't now fire Pelley, they look like they'll tolerate any level of insubordination. If they do fire him, they will spur additional upheaval that will drive away viewers and advertisers. So Weiss is in an impossible position, which was entirely predictable and is a gosh-darned shame

the trump official — who led the siege & occupation of Minneapolis — admitting to having an ongoing dialogue/rapport with Martin Sellner, a straight-up Nazi who influenced the Christchurch shooter, while speaking at a conference about remigration (read: ethnic cleansing) is a pretty big deal!

It should come as no surprise that a Postmedia pundit is writing a paen to pipelines (and authoritarian regimes that build them more quickly).

Has anyone done any post-MOU 2.0 modelling on emissions trajectories -- and if so, could you kindly share it here?

John Ibbitson decided to take his terrible take about Alberta on CBC television and turn it into an entire column.

This single shipload of electric vehicles from BYD will cut Australia's annual fuel demand by at least 6 million litres This is what genuine fuel security looks like - not tanks of diesel and rushed trade deals, but cutting our exposure permanently to overseas fossil fuel supply.

1) Platner sucks; I would absolutely not vote for him in a primary. 2) he's not a member of the American fascist party, so I would vote for him in the general and hate it. 3) His defenders on here are driving me insane with their disingenuous bullshit. Rinse & repeat for the foreseeable future

Me when my boss asks when I’ll be done with work that’s two months late:

When people say 'AI isn't a bubble because the technology isn't going away', it just shows they don't know what a bubble is. The internet didn't go away. Railways didn't go away. Tulips didn't go away. An asset can be overvalued, even if its useful.

I like bernie personally but the number of absolute fucking crackpots he elevated to positions of prominence, man, woof

This right here.

BC Conservatives choose Kerry-Lynne Findlay (contestant who leans farthest-right) as their new leader. This could actually work in David Eby's #BCNDP favour come election time in 2028 by NDP as palatable centrist/left & getting big projects done in next 2 yrs. islandsocialtrends.ca/kerry-lynne-...

Anybody cussing out the Costco food court workers for having a bad attitude should be jailed. This is my single issue platform.

People are saying that President Trump is too old and weak to handle performing outside for several hours a day in Washington DC during July with high heat and humidity, but I say that's fake news and the president can absolutely do 6-8 hours of arrhythmic dancing and incoherent babbling.

Don’t put in the paper that I got mad about all the singers cancelling

In addition to being an environmentalist, apparently Steven Guilbeault is also a time traveler. How else could he be the "founding father" of Alberta separatism when it dates back to the 1980s, when he was still a child? #abpoli
