Terrific from @KeldenFormosa. 👇

[Eric Duhaime @E_Duhaime]

J’ai tendu la main aux partis d’opposition aujourd’hui pour appuyer l’Alberta dans ses revendications autonomistes.

Les Albertains ont dit non à la séparation, non à la soumission, mais OUI à l’autonomie.

Le Québec devrait être à l’avant-garde de ce combat. Pourtant, c’est l’Alberta qui nous dame le pion face à un gouvernement centralisateur à Ottawa.

Ici, pas besoin d’un référendum pour réclamer davantage de pouvoirs en immigration : le consensus est déjà là.

Passons maintenant de la parole aux actes. Parlons d’une seule voix pour exiger qu’Ottawa négocie de bonne foi avec le Québec.

[Eric Duhaime @E_Duhaime]

Merci pour ton colossal travail des 4 dernières années, Cédric.

In the entire history of British Columbia, Jimmy Pattison’s contributions will span many chapters and David Eby’s contributions will be a tragic footnote.

[Hadyn Place @PlaceHadyn]

Attacking the opposition for not having a permanent leader when you called an election to take advantage of them not having a permanent leader is pretty shameless.

[BC NDP @bcndp]

Lorne Doerkson just directly contradicted his own party’s lawyer.

The lawyer says he can’t become permanent leader without a constitutional amendment - but Doerkson claims that’s not needed.

He knows that nobody can guarantee who would be Premier if they won.

Gesturing towards the dirty dishes implying *someone* should do them. #bcpoli

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

Breathtaking hypocrisy.

A central criticism of MAGA is that it has degraded democratic norms.

That's *exactly* what Eby has done with this transparently cynical election call chosen for only one reason: to exploit a pending leadership change in his main opposition party.

Principled voices across the political spectrum should denounce this assault on longstanding democratic norms.

[Hadyn Place @PlaceHadyn]

Not to mention, in the middle of BC’s municipal elections too.

Shame on Eby.

[Brad Tennant @bradktennant]

Two years into a mandate and with the Official Opposition without a leader this has to be the most cynical election call ever to happen in Canada. Eby is treating BC voters like they are stupid, and I don't think it's going to work out for him.

[Hadyn Place @PlaceHadyn]

Cynical and self-serving to the nth degree. Eby might be 7 foot tall but he’s a very small man.

[Rob Shaw @RobShaw_BC]

NEW - Premier @Dave_Eby to call snap election at 12:15pm at Government House.

Two views held simultaneously by many progressives:

1. The public education system is a tool of white supremacy

2. The public system must have a monopoly

[David Knight Legg @KnightLegg]

The 8/8/8 Alberta Tax proposal.

Proud of this work with Ken Boessenkool @KenBoessenkool and Trevor Toombe @trevortombe

The plan is to implement:
8pc corporate tax rate
8pc personal income tax
8pc GST/PST

- In 2019 Alberta cut the corporate rate from 12 to 8. Within 3 years we were making more revenue at the lower tax rate.

Companies earned more and invested more. Jobs and the economy grew faster and more revenue was earned by the govt on the lower rate because of the expanded economic activity.

8pc personal income tax is a huge opportunity to create a similar expansive economic growth for Alberta families to take home more to save, spend and invest.

An 8pc blended (5pc GST + 3pc PST)
will add the consumption tax contributions of millions of tourists and business travellers to offset the lower personal rate to Albertans.

If Chrétien’s 9/11 remarks didn’t sit right by you, if the choice to spike a football in the Twin Towers’ memorial pools read as petty and ill-timed, if you worry about the madness in our crowds, you are not alone.

Dodgers ownership less inspired by finding players with overlooked value like in Michael Lewis’s Moneyball but very much inspired by the shady financial practices in Michael Lewis’s The Big Short.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Mark Walter built a financial empire that included the L.A. Dodgers, the L.A. Lakers and an $85 million beach mansion in Malibu. U.S. prosecutors are investigating whether he played by the rules. https://t.co/WD6mNEyT14

What a brilliant expression of judicial humility at a time when so many judges regard themselves as infallible, unaccountable legislators!

Every judge in Canada should read this decision.

Those judges who desperately want to determine public policy can do so: resign from the bench, put your name on a ballot, persuade your fellow citizens, and get a democratic mandate.
