There’s a single statistic everyone in the world should know this summer: fossil fuel subsidies are ten times greater than climate finance.

SK Party cares more about spending $75,000 for attack ad signs per month then investing in our children. Just think about that.

Every Conservative is going to run the "why didn't they shuffle Trudeau?" joke into the dirt for the next 48 hours but they're on they're 6th leader (permanent or interim) in less than 8 years and have lost the last three elections.

“We don’t need to phase down coal, oil and gas. We need to phase out coal, oil and gas. We need to stop spending money on what is harming us.”

@courosa I agree - AI should be used with accountability & transparency. It is a valuable tool for students, instructors & in the workplace. In terms of #PSE “This changes everything.” I would be interested in your committee findings. Thanks. Happy summer, Alec.

“The data is very clear, people who are unhoused live half as long, the rates of chronic disease, of cancer are two to three to five-fold higher. We are physically imposing death and suffering on individuals by failing to provide housing as a human right.”

We need to restart and expand harm reduction programs and the wraparound mental health services that go with them.

Health-care workers have offered their expertise to the government to help with the crisis and that offer still stands...

CBC Vs Danielle Smith.. who to believe?

How about we get it from the horses mouth?

On at least two occasions she used the term crown prosecutors on tape and video.

So which is it? Is she a total idiot or is she a lying total idiot?

Premier, I always thought that in your efforts to become a leading light among Conservatives, you would observe clear boundaries. Homophobia was one of them. I do not think of you as a homophobe. But how can you not feel shame, as the Premier of Alberta, standing next to this?
