Greg Clark and Susan Samson have issued a clarification to the final version of the majority report on the boundaries commission.
The majority did NOT support immediately adding in two more seats.

Whether it's JD Vance telling the Pope not to stick his nose in Theology, or Pierre Poilievre claiming that Mark Carney is bad at Economics, we are truly living through a Golden Age of self-entitled mediocrities whose only move is projecting their own inadequacy upon their critics and opponents.
Alberta Poli-Sci 113 Exam: please put these activities in the correct order
--think up policy idea
--send policy idea to a referendum
--get referendum results
--ignore referendum results
--make the decision
--take policy concept to the legislature for debate
--implement what-ever
Smith says that she wants to redraw the maps to ensure that rural gets the representation it deserves because rural constituencies are complex & too big.
This compares the majority report & the minority report.
It's the cities that get carved up, rural barely moves.
Lunty's sole qualification is being an unquestioning and loyal UCP partisan who does nothing but Smith's bidding who was parachuted into Leduc-Beaumont. He is a junior MLA who can be counted on not to think for himself or express an ounce of independence from the Premier's Office
I see that the Premier proposes MLA Brandon Lunty (who?) as chair of the #albertagerrymander committee.
Wikipedia fails to highlight any experience suggesting why he might be a suitable candidate.
Can we help by suggesting possible reasons?

😡 rural constituents are already over represented
I hope someone is archiving all the Lego videos for the historical record. I am not sure anyone has spoken truth to power or humiliated it so throughly, as Iran has. They really are exposing so much.
We should be learning from other countries...
What an excellent question. Smith just dodges and weaves around it, with no shame for what she is doing.
And by ‘traditional wives’ we mean women who are culturally or economically forced into submission and/or just straight up children. Just bros bein bros amirite
Step aside orange cats
i think folks might be unfamiliar with "the pharisees", so let's make it clear: he's saying the jews run the press, and that they are conspiring to undermine the military. it's not just antisemitism, it's indistinguishable from nazism.
Even by Poilievre's standards this is just an absurd misrepresentation of reality.
Carney left the Bank of England in early 2020. Inflation didn't take off in the UK until mid-2021 -- the same as every other economy on earth.
If you want a jaw dropping exploration of how authoritarian Alberta has become over the last 4 years…

They are literally making it up as they go along. When they don't like the outcome, the Smith government rigs the process.
It's a worrisome pattern for those who care about procedural fairness and institutional forebearance.
You know, real conservatives.
The UCP proving once again they are undemocratic and do not deserve to be in power 😡
I love this answer 😂
Disgusting.
This is why mass pardoning people for politics is never a good idea.

Sudanese children are being born into conditions 'no child should ever face', Save the Children says.

The American president counts Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-Un as his friends while denouncing the Pope.
So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….
This is a great illustration of @larryglickman.bsky.social's point about how "backlash" framing lets the right play the victim.
