You know the province shoring up its authority over municipalities is bad policy because the people who are fully supporting it would be apoplectic if an NDP government acts on them. The best part is they know it, too.
When you add the #ableg and #yyccc cash to the tax paid by ticket purchasers, that means: The public is funding 97% of the new arena. Flames ownership will cover 3% of costs for 100% of profits. This is the biggest wealth transfer from public to private hands in city history.
We live in a time that often reminds me of my childhood and of the stories my grandparents told me about their youthful days. Totalitarianism doesn’t begin with tear gas and gas chambers. It begins when we don’t pay attention to dismantling of democratic institutions. #cdnpoli

Reminder: the UCP's drift into authoritarianism is neither new nor normal. The volume & audacity of their misdeeds shouldn't lull Albertans into thinking that it’s politics as usual. Just because these episodes happen in plain sight doesn't excuse them. theconversation.com/democracy-itse…
My latest, with @FSnagovsky: "Eventually, a string of half-baked policy proposals and false starts can drain public confidence in the government, particularly if those measures were not in the party’s election platform and are unpopular to begin with." edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…
Must listen: @MarkConnollyCBC grills @RicMcIver over Bill 20, aka as the "UCP Municipal Dominance Act." @RicMcIver's gaslighting peak at 5:43 when he attempts to justify the elimination of vote tabulators to appease conspiracy theorists. cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…
ICYMI, yesterday the UCP introduced Bill 20, a wide reaching piece of legislation that would have massive impacts on municipalities. These changes would include political parties at the municipal level, and the ability of the provincial government to remove elected officials at…
They're doing the same things to Public Education, Mental Health Supports, Disability Support Programs and Family and Social Services. Aren't you tired of the UCP making the hardest parts of your life harder so rich people and corporations can make more money off you? I am. 8/8
With every bill, they're making it more difficult to call them conservative, and tougher to avoid the label authoritarian.

Catching up on this morning's press conference on the new nurse practitioner agreement... As noted yesterday, NPs will be paid 80% of what family MDs make. This is apparently based on a rough estimate by the gov that they have 80% of the scope of practice of MDs. /1
Yes. The future of primary care should be efficient and effective team based care. Teams should be coordinated by a primary care physician. This is the future. Alberta is veering towards the past.

Mic drop right here: "Indeed, Bill 18 is a childish overreach by an unserious government that is too captive to the ritual of belligerence to see how its own gravitational weight crushes those around it." edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…
Given Bill 20, at the risk of getting fired as an Edmonton Councillor… PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t retweet, share, like, this article calling out the UCP/Premier Smith for not paying her property taxes and owing Edmonton millions of dollars. #ableg edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…
.@ABDanielleSmith finally introduced a Bill that best displays her dictatorial bent. Alberta cities, towns and counties will be ruled out of the Legislature. Edmonton, under the dome, knows best what’s good for you underlings. You can have your local elections for fun. #ableg

Here’s some new video of Poilievre’s visit to the fringey far-right group’s campsite with better quality audio. At one point, a protester claims the RCMP are giving them “a lot of support,” to which Poilievre replies by validating this idea: “They’re all onside.”
Corporate and Union donations are back even though no one asked for this. Political parties are being introduced in Calgary and Edmonton “as a pilot” even though Albertans have rejected this idea over and over again. Here’s the province’s own survey results:
"Alberta premier stands by pick of ’contrarian’ chair to lead COVID-19 data review" edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/… via @edmontonjournal by @lisasj 1) Having the government elevate a "contrarian" view isn't about "fresh eyes", it is the institutionalization of false balance /…
Bill 20 is serious. It is a dismantling of municipal authority. Elections and local democracies are being undermined by the province with zero forethought regarding the dangerous consequences down the road. Or maybe it is, and that is an even more deeply troubling thought.
People ask why I am not supportive of Poilievre. This is precisely why. Voted PC for most of my life-provincially & federally. But this is 10,000 miles from centre. I would feel ridiculous, supporting a Canadian freak show, just because it has the word Conservative in the brand.

I block bots.You know the province shoring up its authority over municipalities is bad policy because the people who are fully supporting it would be apoplectic if an NDP government acts on them. The best part is they know it, too.
The polling clearly tells us that working class Albertans, especially outside the big cities, are not voting for the ANDP. We can’t win in 2027 (or ever) without winning more of them over. My blunt assessment is that Nenshi might make things worse. #abpoli calgaryherald.com/news/local-new…
When you add the #ableg and #yyccc cash to the tax paid by ticket purchasers, that means: The public is funding 97% of the new arena. Flames ownership will cover 3% of costs for 100% of profits. This is the biggest wealth transfer from public to private hands in city history.
It took awhile to get the answers but now we know how the City will pay for its share of the costs for a new downtown arena. It will tap a previously unreported fund of cash to supplement existing pools of money. City's total costs: $850.3 million. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
We live in a time that often reminds me of my childhood and of the stories my grandparents told me about their youthful days. Totalitarianism doesn’t begin with tear gas and gas chambers. It begins when we don’t pay attention to dismantling of democratic institutions. #cdnpoli
I am deeply concerned with the proposed changes outlined in Alberta’s Bill 20. This legislation is an attack on local democracy. #yegcc
Reminder: the UCP's drift into authoritarianism is neither new nor normal. The volume & audacity of their misdeeds shouldn't lull Albertans into thinking that it’s politics as usual. Just because these episodes happen in plain sight doesn't excuse them. theconversation.com/democracy-itse…
As a reminder, the draft released in March 2024 was woefully focused on low-level thinking. Swapping out verbs won’t be enough to address this shortcoming. #abed
You’re welcome, @demetriosnAB, for doing the analysis your Ministry should’ve done on the quality of the learning outcomes in the SS curriculum. We’ll see if the version you released today is any better. #abed alberta-curriculum-analysis.ca/an-analysis-of…
My latest, with @FSnagovsky: "Eventually, a string of half-baked policy proposals and false starts can drain public confidence in the government, particularly if those measures were not in the party’s election platform and are unpopular to begin with." edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…
Cheryll Watson *did* have a UCP-affiliated press secretary, but she dismissed that as having big tent support. She also came in a very distant fifth, with less than 3% of the vote. Nickel, who placed 2nd, had only 25% of the vote—20% less than Sohi’s share. 7/7
Michael Oshry once considered running for leader of the PC party. Progressive Conservatives are NOT the same as UCP, and their supporters would most likely not have migrated over to a pro-UCP candidate. 6/
Does that sound like someone who would have agreed to run under a party banner? Or whose supporters would have thrown their support behind someone who *was* running under a UCP banner? 5/
