Conservatives haven’t built a hospital in Edmonton since the 80s.
The NDP planned & funded the South Edmonton Hospital to help catch up.
The UCP said they’d build it…dragged it out and cancelled it. The UCP has lost Albertans trust on health care, for good reason. #ableg
Warren Buffett: "Even if a stock drops 50%, there's no need to panic."
Investor: "What should you do when a stock drops 50%?"
Buffett: "First, you need to understand what a stock really is."
Investor: "What do you mean?"
Buffett: "If you buy stocks, you must be mentally prepared for them to fall 50% or even more."
Investor: "But doesn't that mean losing half your money?"
Buffett: "Yes."
Investor: "Wouldn't most people panic and want to sell?"
Buffett: "In fact, Berkshire Hathaway's stock has fallen by roughly 50% on three separate occasions."
Investor: "Really? Even Berkshire?"
Buffett: "Yes."
Investor: "Was there something wrong with the business?"
Buffett: "No. There was nothing fundamentally wrong with the business."
Investor: "Then why did the stock price collapse?"
Buffett: "Because stock prices and business values don't always move together."
Investor: "Even so, a 50% drop is terrifying."
Buffett: "That's exactly why you should never buy stocks with borrowed money."
Investor: "Why not?"
Buffett: "Because when prices fall, you may not be able to handle the pressure."
Investor: "So when is the right time to buy?"
Buffett: "Nobody can predict the bottom. Nobody."
Investor: "So buying today doesn't necessarily mean I've made the right decision?"
Buffett: "Of course not."
Investor: "And you would still invest?"
Buffett: "Because I look at investments with a 20- or 30-year time horizon."
This is something every investor should think about.
Of course, this doesn't mean every stock deserves to be held forever.
If a company's business performance or long-term outlook deteriorates, selling may be the right decision.
But many investors make the mistake of panic-selling simply because the stock price is falling.
The hardest part of investing isn't buying at the bottom or selling at the top.
It's staying rational when the market is falling and knowing whether the businesses you invested in are still worth believing in.
A market crash is where an investor's mindset is truly tested.

Merit-based hiring? From the UCP? Are you kidding?
Insecure leaders don’t hire competent people. They hire people who won’t threaten their position.
The UCP has spent years pushing competent people out and replacing them with political loyalists. Now they want to lecture Albertans about hiring the best person for the job?
This is about saving face with a base that has lost confidence in the UCP.
With an AGM looming, court cases mounting and RCMP investigations underway, the Premier needs distractions.
Meanwhile, governing takes a backseat. Affordability, healthcare and the issues affecting Albertans every day are left unaddressed.
This isn’t about competency. It’s about political survival from a government increasingly out of touch.

.@DanielleSmith was never in any form of contact with me.
However, what prompted me to file my petition still under the old rules, was a call (leak) from a UCP minister, divulging that Smith was plotting a relaxation of rules for separatists. I had to beat them to the punch.
Here we go: Fraud, breach of trust and money laundering inside the GOA!
Those are the criminal offences now confirmed to be under investigation by the RCMP in connection with procurement practices at Alberta Health and AHS.
This isn’t speculation. It’s in writing, from a Crown prosecutor, in a letter filed with the Alberta courts.
For nearly two years, the UCP government has tried to distract and avoid accountability but they can’t hide forever.
I raised concerns about these contracting practices, and Albertans deserve answers.
The government can continue to deflect and deny, but it cannot avoid a criminal investigation.
Accountability will come calling.

"Question # 6 offers an illusion. One that serves of the government of the day, not the citizens of Alberta. It is one further step down the road that ultimately leads to tyranny, governmental oppression & a lack of transparency."
From an open letter signed by almost 90 lawyers and 2 retired judges.

Another day, another UCP scandal where the same names keep coming up.
Premier Danielle Smith repeatedly claimed her government knew nothing about the contractors selected to build Indigenous recovery centres, insisting those decisions were made independently.
Now, court filings allege the government actually recommended a contractor linked to Sam Mraiche, a businessman with deep connections to the Premier’s inner circle.
So what exactly did the Premier know, and when?
During my time as Infrastructure Minister, these projects fell under Minister Dan Williams’ portfolio, with direct involvement from the Premier’s office.
These recovery centre contracts were among the serious concerns that led me to approach cabinet to call for a public inquiry and ultimately contributed to my resignation as Minister.
A year and a half later, the same politically connected individuals keep appearing, and the questions continue to mount.
Albertans deserve answers about the role played by Minister Williams, the Premier’s office, and who benefited from these contracts.
Enough with the denials and deflection. Albertans deserve full disclosure.

Zelenskyy: "When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. Many people noticed it.
There was less hate, less division, fewer provocations because there were fewer bots. It's pretty clear where those bots were coming from.
If they disappeared when Yandex went offline, this proves once again that Europe is not the source of the problems."
The big problem is that Russia figured out how modern society consumes information a decade ago, but the West hasn't.
There are millions of bots commenting and posting Russian propaganda. There are paid influencers spreading it, with Russian bots supporting their content.
There is a gigantic machine operating to radicalize and influence Western societies, and there is not enough defense in place.
It doesn't just influence elections, it sows discord, engulfs societies in culture wars, radicalizes teenagers, and shapes political decisions when elected officials fail to read the room.
That needs to change. And fast.
US Republican organizers are in Alberta to help separatists mobilize their vote.
They’re not even hiding it. They are openly working for the national interest of the United States.
Cast your vote for Canada. Reject these treasonous imposters.

A lot of chirping today...but here's the real reason
@nenshi and @KyleCampbellYYC won last night:
NDP: Affordability, good jobs, strong public services for all.
UCP: Separation, gerrymandering, charging you extra for health care you already pay taxes for. #ableg#cdnpoli

oilers superfan mama stanley says she will no longer support the oilers in the wake of them signing alex formenton.
in an instagram post, she wrote: "With a VERY, VERY BROKEN HEART, I am making an announcement I never imagined I would have to make.
I am deeply disappointed by the Edmonton Oilers' decision to sign Alex Formenton.
Although he was acquitted in court, I cannot ignore my conscience or what this decision represents to me.
As a sexual assault survivor, I must stand by my morals and stand with the woman at the centre of this case.
For that reason, as long as Formenton remains an Oiler, I CANNOT AND WILL NOT support or cheer for this team.
This isn't about the players who have been there—I will always love my boys.
This is about the organization's decision to bring in this one player. I just cannot support that decision!
I did not make this choice lightly or simply out of anger.
I've cried in waves because I feel betrayed by an organization I have proudly loved and represented for years.
Losing Game 7 two years ago meant losing a Stanley Cup; this feels like losing a team I have loved with my heart for most of my life.
CLEAR: I am still Mama Stanley. Mama Stanley belongs to ME—not the Edmonton Oilers organization.
She represents BELIEVE, kindness, children, survivors and community. I will not abandon her or EVER compromise her values." https://t.co/Uq1uMrw4z2
Gold-mining margins are surging well ahead of gold prices:
Average all-in sustaining cost (AISC) margins surged +134% YoY in Q1 2026, to a record $3,076 per ounce.
AISC margin is the amount miners earn per ounce of gold after covering the costs of sustaining their mining operations.
This is far above the +70% YoY increase in gold prices over the same period.
Furthermore, AISC margins among the 10% of gold miners with the highest production costs rose +32% QoQ, to $2,363 per ounce.
Since March 2024, global miner AISC margins have more than tripled, while gold prices have roughly doubled over the same period.
Gold miners are realizing massive profits.
