Every journalist should have the following response prepared for every time they speak with Premier Danielle Smith:

I like Al, but I would have to agree. A leave would have been the proper choice

@charlesrusnell.bsky.social spoke to my class yesterday—great session!
I asked him @ Al Beeber running campaign ads while still writing for the #Lethbridge Herald.👇
“You can’t be a politician AND a journalist,” and he said a leave of absence should have been mandatory.

BREAKING

Dr. Jane Goodall has died. She was 91.

It is impossible to sum up the impact she has had on our world and on science in a social media post.

She lived a long and incredible life but I am devastated.
