I'm sure it will be as effective as all the other RCMP investigations into UCP corruption. 🙄

That one was more about election rules and arcane party processes. This one seems closer to typical fraud schemes, where a vendor or vendors uses someone in the inside an organization to help them get contracts they shouldn't otherwise.
 
Jeebus, I hope not all Yanks think all Albertans are like THIS GUY! He needs to be jailed....."hundreds of Albertans in HIS delegation...." Piss off!

The urban/rural divide will become a bigger issue for all parties.

There seems to be less political interest in leaving people alone, and I've definitely seen resentment towards cities from rural people.

A lot going on in the world, so it's easy for a story like this to slip through the cracks, but the UCP caucus just shrunk by one MLA: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmo...-over-threat-to-vote-against-budget-1.7478423

Just goes to show the amateur hour at play here. Buddy from Slave votes against his own party?! What did he think was going to happen? Now he's on the streets back up in Slave like the rest of them. Not sure if anyone told him, "hey Bud - if you vote against your own party(s) Bills - you're gonna be jobless." It kinda looks like this was his first job ever......

There are now entire political parties whose main goals are to stir up resentments and grievances of various people to help them get into power and stay in power.

Yes, there are unaddressed issues in rural Alberta which I am sure is frustrating for them, but if they think the cities have it so great, they are wrong.

There are unresolved social problems and other issues here our governments are not dealing with well. And how about the hospital that was to be built here in 2018 that never was?

So everybody has something to complain about.

Yes, we are suffering from a massive dirth of unifying leaders, that can speak to people about the trade offs of urban vs rural, east vs west, etc. Instead the winning combo is divisive approaches and pointing to someone else as the problem.

Oddly worded presser - "South Florida." Any where in particular in South Florida? Once you get to "South Florida," is there a venue that is hosting this event? Or does one just GPS - "South Florida?" lol. I wouldn't cross the street for free to hear her talk.

“PragerU, short for Prager University, is a website that promotes Conservatism using short educational videos. However, it is not a University and doesn’t claim to be one. Dennis Prager and Allen Estrin started this website in 2009. Prager appears in some of the videos himself. PragerU is suing YouTube for restricting 99 of its videos. PragerU has already lost several lawsuits against YouTube.” [Wikipedia]

PragerU is the US on-line equivalent of Take Back Alberta.

Danielle Smith being a keynote speaker at one of their promotional events is right up there on the embarrassment scale with the Mar-A-Lago selfies with Mr. Wonderful for the rest of Alberta. It makes one wonder if this event is being “hosted” at Mar-A-Lago.
 
And of course I am sure ‘Ol Smitty’s office has/is expensing her multiple trips to “South Florida” as legit duties by her office as “promoting AB……etc.” Then the NDP’s will call her out on this and they’ll be a scandal in a few months time. Rinse, repeat….this thing just doesn’t get it…..
