Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
A reminder:
“It is not an exaggeration to say that the minority report was gerrymandered to benefit the UCP by significantly diluting urban voters.”

I’ll be honest, I spend a not insignificant amount of time wondering why I choose to be an honourable human when I see those who grift benefit so greatly from such behaviour.
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.

Oh so they're BROKE broke
Interesting statement from a politician literally gerrymandering the electoral map to ensure she can’t earn her way out of the Premier’s Office.

“If the govt were looking to... gerrymander districts... this new, hastily designed process undercuts [public consultation] and puts the decisions in the hands of partisan appointees in a way that we have not seen in Canada since the 1940s.”

Looking for a perfect weekend listen? I give you my conversation with @martychan.bsky.social - a playwright, mystery writer, YA author, and raconteur, with his smart analysis of some of Alberta’s current political madness. #AlbertaUnbound #abpoli #cdnpoli #yeg #Edmonton #Alberta
“Bill 11… allows physicians to treat patients in the public health care system while also charging them fees, creating a two-tiered system for those who can pay and those who cannot.”
Over 50 organizations have written to Ottawa to urge enforcement of the Canada Health Act.
Smith on why she's introducing private health care to Alberta...
She's clear the biggest reason is because she want's to remove "Gatekeepers" (so physicians) from medical testing.
What could go wrong?

The UCP govt is rejecting the electoral map proposed 3 weeks ago.
A govt motion that could come as soon as this morning outlines the new process which will be overseen by a UCP-led committee, will not allow for public input, and grow the number of MLAs from 87 to 91

Special episode!
On March 10th, CoRE published a paper that the UCP then used to justify shuttering Supervised Consumption Sites.
But there's some big problems with that paper & how it was spun.
We sat down with 3 experts to get to the bottom of it!

I rose today to confront Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act. How do we push back against the rising tide of hate, without sacrificing civil liberties? I have no easy answers. But in this speech, I wrestle with the questions. It's not a comfortable listen. It's not meant to be. #cdnpoli #Alberta #C9
This is not acceptable.
A good reminder, any “deal” with the US right now is barely worth the paper it’s written on.
Those advocating for appeasement to secure a “deal” are fooling themselves.
With a majority, we'll continue to work just as hard for Canadians.
"Life is filled with adversity, and neither the Charter, nor our various human rights statutes, guarantee otherwise."
Why yes. I did give a speech in the Senate about the joy of sex. A speech about sex and libraries, and the dangers of trying to censor what our teens can read and watch and do online. In a world full of digital risk, we need to teach our kids media literacy, and sexual literacy too. #cdnpoli #ableg
People who hold these views are the same people who refuse to let society support people with mental illnesses, and insist that such people work for a living, whilst claiming that they're unable to
Wow, the other guy can run central banks, win elections, and has favourables 50 points above Poilievre’s but I guess I’m a single issue voter now. 🙄
"Put simply, in a functioning society, not every claim of psycho-emotional frailty can trigger a costly obligation by institutions and businesses to mollify the feelings and experiences of individuals afflicted with irrational beliefs or a want of basic resilience."

Yeah, I see have a point it’s just not related to the central point in your post 😏
However, my math is bad. I took 4800 and divided by 70 (size of my tank) which gave me 63 tanks of gas. I then multiplied 52 by 5 (days a week) and divided that by 4 (days of gas) and got 65.
Point being, it’s higher in rural and the break was aimed at us (I think).
