Alberta politics

Does the Mainstreet poll of voter intentions in the Edmonton Strathcona federal riding indicate a real trend, or is it an outlier for whatever reasons?

Environmental activist Greta Thunberg appears content to give the Kenney government a few days to work itself into a full-blown swivet before she announces her Alberta itinerary.

At the time this was written, no one in Alberta seems to know when or where Thunberg will arrive.

It's unclear whether the client in these circumstances would be the union member on the line or the Government of Alberta.

Structuring Alberta's "energy war room" as a private corporation to avoid FOIP requests sounds like a shady dodge; Kenney government says "foreign-funded special interests" made them do it.

The new managing director of the Kenney government's renamed "Canadian Energy Centre" ran unsuccessfully for the United Conservative Party in Calgary in last April's election.

Another Conservative innovation: the faux riposte response to a question that wasn't asked. It's not a debating technique.

If you have progressive views, you don't have to be living outside Alberta to feel out of touch with Alberta politics nowadays.

If you have nothing better to do this afternoon, why not contact the ministry of red tape reduction and let them know about the duplication over at the ministry of labour?
