Looks like it’s a good thing me and my UCP appointed former UCP candidate, Shawn McLeod, as Alberta’s Ethics Commissioner.
He’s doing a fantastic job at killing ethics investigations to hold our corrupt MLAs accountable.

I started reviewing the Alberta Next report by looking at their polling results.
The numbers in the sample table don't add up.
Can anyone make it make sense?
If not, I'm not sure how we take the analysis seriously.

Wait. The Bureau of Prisons waived Maxwell as a Sex Offender in order to move her?!?!
I still don’t understand why the President’s move to deal specially with a rapist and child sex offender and potentially pardon her isn’t a huge huge story.
It shows how much the weight of Fox matters.

BREAKING: “We’re leaving Texas to fight for Texans.”
TX Democrats are walking out to block Trump’s gerrymander and stop a rigged system in its tracks. This isn’t normal. This isn’t democracy. We must stand up and call it what it is: an assault on every American’s rights. #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

He straight up, deliberately lies about demonstrable facts (the jobs revision happened before not after the election and Trump called it out at the time!) and no reporter challenges him on it. No
Sunday show host challenged his officials about his lies. He gets away with it.
