CCLA Sounds the Alarm Over the Politicization of Alberta’s Electoral Map - CCLA With Bill C-25, the government once again fails to protect privacy in federal political campaigning, leaving voters in Canada unprotected.

“The process should include public consultations, be transparent from beginning to end, and elected officials should respect its outcome.”

“The government’s proposed approach misses the mark on several points, which casts a doubt over the equity and fairness of Alberta’s electoral process.”

New Democrats believe in supporting big nation-building projects, like an East-West clean electricity grid, which would create hundreds of thousands of jobs, reduce pollution, promote energy security and lower energy bills.

Got our solar panels installed this AM. They came at 8:30am and we're gone by 1:30pm. 13 panels and 10kwh battery.

We can't export to the grid yet (the network operator has been flooded with new requests) but we charged our car with the sun this afternoon. Great feeling, strongly recommend.

IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

More than 40% of ships globally transport fossil fuels. Nearly all of them run on fossil fuels too.

Excuse me for a moment:

What are you doing to challenge and discredit climate denial?

If you are doing nothing, then you are an enabler of climate denial.

Is that what you want your legacy to be?

Benjamin Netanyahu has delayed his corruption trial again, for 'security reasons' that he created, again.

Are Israel going to let him commit as many war crimes as he likes, just so he can't go to jail?

In a devastating blow that exposes the true horror of Putin’s failing invasion, Russia has suffered a staggering 89,000 soldiers killed or seriously wounded in the first three months of 2026 alone.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.
