Alberta’s chief electoral officer warns new rules proposed by the UCP bill will basically kneecap a bunch of the work of the election commissioner in investigating complaints and enforcing compliance, including on financial contribution rules and limits. www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/politics/alb...

So sad to hear of his passing. Sincerest condolences to his family and friends.
Bruce McCurdy passing away is absolutely gut wrenching news. One of the nicest and most knowledgeable Oilers fans I’ve ever met.

Condolences to the family.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but when the Nazis first started sending Jews and other victims to camps, they called it deportation, and the camps were technically in other countries.

As if you couldn’t be more angry as an Alberta taxpayer
SPECIAL FOIP THREAD!

A few months ago on an unplanned visit to the Counter Signal, we noticed something weird and oddly familiar.

Banner ads advertising for the Government of Alberta.

Not dissimilar from the ones that the Western Standard runs...

Trump and the GOP are at war with academia because an educated populace resists segregation and authoritarianism.
I’m told this is a real letter. It basically says, “We’ll destroy Columbia unless you destroy it first.”

Canada in a moment. Calm but strong. Resolute and beautiful. But there are hidden dangers lurking if you aren’t careful. #ElbowsUp

Don’t let the media convince you that we’re not out there protesting. There were thousands of us out today in NYC.

Been just over a month since this guy departed our world. Miss him every day! Dozing in his happy place out camping! May you be eating all of the sticks you can find buddy!

I’m thinking a rule change, if a goal gets called back for offsides, but there was a penalty pending, the goal comes off the board, but the penalty is enforced. Almost like getting punished twice. NHL has to start calling offsides when they happen. Call the close ones. The replay is painful

Will won that one tonight for the leafs. Oilers all over the leafs for the last two periods. Puck luck on the Leafs side tonight in a game that should have started at 8pm. Never like the 5pm starts, throws off the preparation. Why play on eastern time at home?

Perry with a seeing eye shot tightens this one up! 4-3 leafs. Refs seem to not call any stick infractions tonight.

1-0 #LetsGoOilers on a quick lethal shot by Drai after a bobbling puck hopped over a Det stick. PPG and the oilers take the early lead. Klingberg is in!

#LetsGoOilers vs Red Wings coming up! Let’s hope it is a bit of a tighter defensive effort tonight. Last game got into a run and gun style, which I’m sure Knoblauch didn’t like too much. Looking forward to see what Klingberg can bring on Sat Night too!

Wow, that Heiskenen hit was even more brutal on the replay. Stone low bridged the knees on him.

Ugly

Dirty hit on Heiskenen who had to be helped off the ice. Stone should get suspended for that.

#LetsGoOilers up to third overall in the NHL. Little sloppy last night bs the Kracken, but a rare empty net goal put the game out of reach for Seattle. Ekholm continues to provide stability and some scoring. Huge addition that continues to pay dividends for us. Good to see McDavid back!

Tough game in VanCity for the Oilers. Refs influenced the game significantly but the oilers were out of gas from the get go.
