Canadian politics

Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer is making up parliamentary conventions to suit himself, and Albertans are likely to be angry no matter the outcome of today's federal election.

Support for the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council's peer-reviewed grant application-review process appears to cross political lines.

Announcements that don't contain much news are absolutely a staple of democratic politics, and Conservatives are masters of the art form.

Pope Francis, leader of 1.3 billion Catholics, has declared global warming to be a real thing and putting a price on carbon to be "essential" to saving the planet.

Is "Ottawa, we have a problem" on those Tory blue advertisements about a pipeline, or a government? If the latter, why are our tax dollars paying for it?

Since it has now been clearly established that B.C. cannot control what goes through a federally regulated pipeline, a strong argument can now be made that neither can Alberta.

Right now we seem to be headed for an intramural game of chicken between Ottawa and Edmonton.

Thanks to the work done by outgoing Alberta Premier Rachel Notley, support for the TMX in Canada has probably reached its high-water mark. It has nowhere to go but down.
