Edmonton to co-host 2028 World Cup of Hockey Edmonton is one of three host cities for the 2028 World Cup of Hockey. CTV News Edmonton's David Ewasuk has more.

🥸...but but but won't we be our own sovereign state by then? Will passports be needed? How will it work? 😵‍💫🤦 #ableg #abpoli
(side note - I have nothing against hosting the tourney & hope there will be a different AB Premier in place)

Danielle Smith has a very large blockade to her ambitions - the legal gatekeepers will make her plans null and void.

'Hockey's best on best': Edmonton to host 2028 World Cup championship at Rogers Place Last time Canada hosted the eight-nation tournament was in 2016.

Smith hyping hockey and wearing a “Canada” jersey is just insulting. 🤮

Danielle Smith Talks Like a Libertarian but Governs as an Authoritarian

In 2022, @duanebratt.bsky.social called Danielle Smith a "radical populist." Now he says she has become an "authoritarian libertarian."

Like Trump. No wonder he's her hero.

When I asked Williams if Nenshi could be forced to testify, he didn’t answer directly, but pointed out that the official inspector, David Goldie, has power to compel testimony from anybody involved.

Farkas blasted the province only days earlier for the massive education property tax grab from Calgarians in the new UCP budget.
Article content
Many Calgarians will pay nearly $400 more every year.
Article content
The mayor threatened a citywide referendum and called the tax a form of equalization on the backs of Calgary taxpayers.
Article content
That made the provincial announcement of the water inquiry look like retribution. But Farkas seems to genuinely welcome it as a chance to involve the province in the solution.
Article content
While the new probe starts up, it is useful to recall choice words from the first report: “The risks that ultimately caused the (Bearspaw) failure were identified 20 years prior during internal assessments that were conducted in response to the 2004 McKnight feeder main failure.
Article content
“These assessments had concluded that the PCCP portion of the (Bearspaw) main was vulnerable due to its age, design and material composition, and posed a significant risk to system integrity.”
Article content
Other cities dealt promptly with the identical problem, the report said.
Article content
“In Calgary, however, risk response mechanisms were not triggered and (Bearspaw line) vulnerabilities were not addressed.”
Article content
Those factors led to the disaster.
Article content
But whodunit? Who built, ran and tolerated such a lazy, careless, dangerous way of dealing with public safety and service?
Article content
Those people need to be paraded before the city. It’s the only way to crack the city hall shell that protects officials from their mistakes.

Budget Estimates 2026 was an opportunity for the Minister to reassure Albertans that children’s safety is a priority.
Instead, we got deflection.

So I’ll ask again: when will Minister Nicolaides put Alberta’s children first?

$90M for private schools is terrible public policy, but it makes political sense for the UCP - Alberta Politics Critics say the United Conservative Government’s plan to fund private-school construction projects to the tune of $90 million over three years makes no sense. Alas, the scheme announced by Education M...

I am so done with the UCP. They don't give a dam about the average Albertan, they only care about the people who support the UCP. That is why it's time for the UCP and their supporters to go and FUCK OFF 🤬 #abpoli #ableg

Carney protects Canada by building alliances overseas while Trump tries to force NATO into his and Netanyahu’s illegal war. Meanwhile MAGA-owned media in 🇨🇦 prints Alberta separation propaganda!

Honest question for everyone. Is it better to support the lesser of 2 evils to defeat a Great Evil OR is it better to support something that is closer to your values but may never have the ability to make the changes you want to see?

So, Smith announced the new schools are coming, and the first thing I thought was: the election announcement must be coming soon. But what is she going to offer the healthcare system to buy votes? Does anyone need another hockey rink? #PayToPlay #Ableg #ABpoli

Operating by any name, oilsands companies just want to pollute The story of the Pathways Alliance/Oil Sands Alliance comes right out of the predictable Big Oil playbook — pushing for more deregulation.

The Pathways Alliance spent five years pretending to be a climate solution, but their recent rebrand (to the Oil Sands Alliance) affirms that their real purpose is to: "promote growing the oil sands industry.”

Whatever the ABNDP has been doing, it isn't working. The UCP has been an unmitigated disaster for the province and are still polling *way* ahead, which is fucking insane.

There needs to be a change in approach, and fast. #ableg #abpoli @naheednenshi.bsky.social

53% of us see the truth: Smith is leading Alberta toward separation. Her talk is actively hurting our province's stability and future. You can’t lead a province while you're busy destroying it.

This is FAILED leadership, plain and simple. 📉 #AbPoli #AbLeg
