@rightblend I haven't found anything to substantiate a $200,000 fine as claimed, but regardless of the money value, the fact the CFIA doesn't want the birds tested is their own admission of a cover-up. The organization has lost all credibility.
@ctvedmonton Working for the government and not being able to afford juice boxes? Absolutely ridiculous. Perhaps the union should provide budget counseling and stop demanding more from taxpayers that are earning less than its members.
@Jenny_1884 There is not much the govt does that makes any sense. I've just accepted the fact that they are self serving. Civic responsibility died many years ago
Why doesn't UCPW just start their own business? After looking at the union's list of what they are working on, it makes me wonder who is really running that business. Canada Post, or the union?
Taxpayers are shaking their heads.

I congratulate Prime Minister @MarkJCarney on his minority government election victory last night.
I also want to sincerely thank @PierrePoilievre for his powerful and principled advocacy against the last decade’s punitive taxation and anti-resource policies that have made our country weaker, more divided and overly-dependent on the United States.
Mr. Poilievre’s vision for a safer, more affordable, united and prosperous Canada drove the policy debate in this country for the last several years and has inspired millions to see the unique potential of our nation. While Liberals and New Democrats demeaned and demonized Albertans, our values and our industries for political gain, Mr. Poilievre made empowering Albertans and our energy sector a cornerstone of his campaign. His respect and admiration for Albertans could not have been clearer. He is and continues to be a true friend of Alberta.
As Premier, I invite the Prime Minister to immediately commence working with our government to reset the relationship between Ottawa and Alberta with meaningful action rather than hollow rhetoric. A large majority of Albertans are deeply frustrated that the same government that overtly attacked our provincial economy almost unabated for the past 10 years has been returned to government.
As Premier, I will not permit the status quo to continue. Albertans are proud Canadians that want this nation to be strong, prosperous, and united, but we will no longer tolerate having our industries threatened and our resources landlocked by Ottawa.
In the weeks and months ahead, Albertans will have an opportunity to discuss our province’s future, assess various options for strengthening and protecting our province against future hostile acts from Ottawa, and to ultimately choose a path forward.
As Premier, I will facilitate and lead this discussion and process with the sincere hope of securing a prosperous future for our province within a united Canada that respects our province’s constitutional rights, facilitates rather than blocks the development and export of our abundant resources, and treats us as a valued and respected partner within confederation.
Our government will be holding a special caucus meeting this Friday to discuss this matter further. I will have more to say after that meeting is concluded.
Alberta Separation will trend tonight
A non-partisan grassroots movement with no leader and no campaign with support that will exceed 50% tonight
Tomorrow morning we build a nation
Our Nation
