The guy that tried to commit a terror attack here in Edmonton a few years ago had an ISIS flag in the front seat of the U-Haul he used... (Arguably he tried and succeeded. Thankfully there were no deaths, or even severe injuries minus the police officer he attacked - but that guy is tough as...

Shit, I'm in...where do I send the e-transfer? (Must be a pretty fancy tin foil hat if it requires some assembly! I'm excited!)

I agree with you 1000% I think floor crossing should be discontinued & unallowed. Period. If someone truly believes in another party's platform, then resign and run as a candidate for that party in the next byelection or general election. Democracy can't work as intended if the citizenry...

Mate, I don't see the LPC starting to shed some of it's own policies if it stumbles it's way into being a majority...why would they? (And with the recent events in Australia, I can see the government doubling down on their gun bans rather than letting it go)

I think if anybody can steer BC back onto a sustainable course, Aaron Gunn is a solid candidate for the job. He doesn't have a ton of experience on politics yet - he was elected as an MP for the first time just 7 months ago. But he is a proud Canadian with common sense, obviously cares about...

Ya know, for all the things I find extremely skeptical & From what I understand, they are currently using a sort of hybrid model across most of the public service (minus military, law enforcement, etc) I believe it's 3 days in the office per week, currently? 4 days if they are an executive...

For a mere $29.99, I have a course I can sell you to help with that...

Must be a tricky tightrope to walk given how much of the PS isn't required to actually go into the office...

If the Liberals simply ran an efficient government we could have the best of both worlds. Foreign dollars pouring into our universities to educate foreign students, and students who actually leave once their visa term has expired. (My sister got deported from Australia because she had her...

Oh my goodness gracious lol It's like Carney wrote the article himself (or had some staffers do it, and he read it over to ensure his liking) - then sent it to CTV News via private email where it was then read over again & then put online for the masses... (Believe me, $325M annually get's you...

Fair comment. What would you say are the actual issues driving the defections? (Forgive me if these have already been clearly spelled out somewhere)

Oh I can almost guarantee you that there's more to the story. Almost always is. Whatever gets put in the disclosure file & discussed in open court will be pretty mindful to not directly or indirectly say anything that could compromise investigative techniques, intelligence sources, imvolvement...

And you know...those crazy people who think running $84B deficits annually ptobably isn't a good thing... Or that maybe slowing down immigration for a few years until our societal infrastructure has caught up just to support our current population... Or those super far right crazies that...

I need to educate myself a lot more about the legal & legislative processes in regards to this kind of stuff (and to be honest it's kind of embarrassing given I work for the Alberta government, and these petitions aren't super new...) ... I'm curious though...what if Corb Lund's application...

So I think here is the crux of the issue, and I suspect it's just one of those things that will generate debate among people for the foreseeable future... When it comes to a healthy democracy, that's exactly what I see when it comes to Danielle Smith. Someone who has, and is, trying to protect...

Just to further this particular topic... https://www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/article/albertas-smith-says-courts-should-not-be-gatekeepers-on-constitutional-questions/

When I was a recruit I learned how to use the PRC-319 radio system... #oldman

I'll be honest, I'll have to do some basic research on the history of MLA recall petitions for in Alberta Because I honestly don't have a flipping clue about who started what. If it was the UCP who pulled this crap firsr, then I suppose fair enough. (Politics is soooooooo much dirtier than...

Sweden is similar to Israel in that it's a country with a small population who's defence industrial base produces better than average kit pretty consistently. I think Sweden will be a major boost to NATO also. Germany seems fairly directionless these days... The whole point of collaborating...

I feel like this is the NDP trying to subvert our election schedule and weasel their way back into power. There is absolutely no way that private citizens have the time to educate themselves about the recall process, are doing the paperwork, and going out to collect thousands of signatures each...
