Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.

They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

B.C. Premier David Eby is clearly beyond frustrated with Danielle Smith's pipeline dreams threatening the B.C. economy.

In a fiery statement, he called her out directly stating...

"This is not the Danielle Smith show!"

Karina Roman on CBC commenting on Poilievre’s take on Carney/Trump meeting…..

“Poilievre’s comments may be a bit of a leap”

I guess that’s mass media speak for “the a$$hole is lying”

Again.

"As usual Alberta is an outlier. Ontario pays virtually no money to private schools. In B.C. the top rate is 50% of public per-student funding. There’s more. Alberta is now the only province that puts public money into the construction of private schools."

“It’s hard to define” - is exactly what’s wrong with your post.

What is “personal accountability”? And how, in your eyes, would you measure that??

One Kit Kat? Or three Kit Kats and a package of “Skittles”?

How frightening, if access to health care was based on the # of sit-ups you can complete?
