TODAY, Court of King’s Bench, after hearing submissions from First Nations, ruled that the separatists’ (Alberta Prosperity Project) proposed referendum question is unconstitutional. It violates all Albertans Charter and First Nations’ treaty rights.

I’m forever going to enjoy the judge’s reminder that Treaties 6, 7, and 8 predate Alberta’s existence.
Because I think there’s few things that get up the nose of the separatists more than being reminded that Alberta is the creation of the federal government.

For many Canadians, this was the beginning of the end of a fair, reasonable conservative alternative in Canada and now, the Conservative Party is against women’s rights, vaccine science, scientific freedom (Harper muzzled scientists) etc.

On this day in 2003, the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada and the Canadian Alliance merged to form the Conservative Party of Canada. The party's first leader was Stephen Harper, who served as Prime Minister from 2006 to 2015.

Albertans, especially in Calgary and Edmonton, do everything you can NOT to get seriously sick or injured right now. The Emergency Departments are overwhelmed.
Currently in AB: 50% of ALL Emergency Care Spaces in the Edmonton and Calgary major EDs are blocked by very sick pts who cannot be admitted up to the proper floor as the hospital is too full. (= Emerg In -Pts = EIPs). STRANDED in our EDs.

Oh Parksy,
Clearly you don’t know anything about public speaking.
First rule: Assume the public knows nothing.
Second rule: Speak as though you know everything. Then you cal lie and say anything with full confidence. This works well when you can’t be challenged.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
