So now I get to pay for transmission lines to power a data centre owned by a billionaire tech bro, and in return, I also get to pay increased power bills.

At least buy me dinner first.

@yyc_heathe66554 Oh it’s not on the agenda per se, but doing this all before the AGM pretty much assures it’s going to come up. Fireworks indeed.

Nothing says “definitely a federalist party” quite like an NDA.

SCOOP: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was sent a highly classified memo warning about Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's relationship with suspected Chinese spy Alice Huang.

Lutnick oversees the agency charged with keeping sensitive U.S. technology out of the hands of American adversaries. The warning raises questions about how the department weighed potential security risks as it cleared advanced Nvidia chip sales to China-affiliated entities.

Today is Remembrance Day, when we pause to remember the horrific sacrifices of war made on our behalf by the generations that came before. Donald the draft dodger has demanded that we do not use that name. As with so much else, he should be ignored.

No. You're not imagining it.

The Alberta NDP is again questioning Dale Nally's Kentucky trip, alleging his ministry made taxpayers cover expenses related to a staff member's husband.

Official trips are for official business, not plus-ones.

FOIP records suggest a failed UCP candidate, married to a ministerial chief of staff, rode along on Minister Nally's bourbon country tour and taxpayers covered his share.

Pay it back. And tell us how often this happens.

The UCP falsely claims no expenses paid for the husband (and failed UCP candidate) of a chief of staff.

They've now admitted he was on the "mission".

Why, then, did they fold the tour cost into three, when it was four?

Today I toured Brick House Recovery Centre in Edmonton to see firsthand the important work they’re doing to help Albertans struggling with gambling addiction.

Gambling will never be safe. If you or someone you love is struggling with gambling addiction, know that help is there.

Albertans have access to world-class gambling addiction treatment, and it’s free. Just call 211 to get connected with support.

The released records contain no evidence that Mr. Davidson reimbursed the government for his share of the expenses, estimated at approximately $2,000 CAD.
