Too bad the PM doesn't seem to understand this.
Imagine the hole in Alberta’s budget when the price & demand for oil is in long-term decline in 2030s as a result of the energy transition and increased demand for clean energy. Not nostalgia for the past, it’s about winning the future. Just economics, folks.
Alberta faces $6.4-billion deficit as falling oil prices and trade troubles take toll
This year’s budget represents a massive multibillion-dollar swing from an $8.3-billion surplus last year

We so need something like this to stop pols from 'flooding the zone with shit.' Maybe an independent commissioner and/or laws. Deceit is helping kill democracy.
I wrote about a novel approach to tackling misinformation currently being discussed in Wales--and which some say Canada should try, too. What if we made a rule so politicians couldn't lie? www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
Is it time to make it illegal for politicians to lie to us?
That’s the question currently on the table in Wales, which has just released a draft of the “globally pioneering” sanctions for politicians.

So Jason Nixon says “We are making Alberta a leader in disability supports, inclusion and employment.” As a disabled person on AISH this is an insane statement. These proposed changes will result in more disabled people dying before their time. These changes are cruel and need to be stopped!
