This is among the most democratically dangerous things Danielle Smith has said.

She wants to remove all checks and balances on her power and projects herself as the embodiment of "the people."

We have left the realm of liberal democracy in this province.
Smith doubled down on her anti court rhetoric today...

She even seemed to suggest that federally appointed judges couldn't render impartial rulings and that she believed her interpretation should always be above theirs.

On teaching people to be aware of disinformation efforts - thread
Finland is one comparatively successful model, but not just because schools teach critical thinking. Finland has high social trust, strong public-service media and coherent institutions. The whole system supports verification and open deliberation, you can’t copy the surface without the structure.

I tallied the number of court cases or legal challenges Alberta’s government has recently stepped in to block or pre-empt. Was surprised how long the exercise took - they’re at like a one-per-week clip:

Some friends last weekend kinda landed on a working theory that Important Art Museums are some of the last places random Americans will be exposed to surprise in art that might make them feel something--even if the feeling is distaste--because you go as a Tourist Destination and can't pick the art.
The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

The details of the Northern Gateway debate may have faded from our memories. (They certainly did from mine, I realized, while working on this article!)

So here's a little refresher on what the country went through the last time an MOU was signed on a pipeline from Alberta's oilsands to BC's coast:

As Ottawa and Alberta edge toward a new pipeline deal, Carbon Tracker (@carbontracker.bsky.social) warns the plan is a financial trap.

Up to 30% of Canada’s oil & gas value is at risk, and provincial revenues could fall 82% in the 2030s as global demand drops.
