A love letter to Alberta:🧵
I used to be an Alberta Tory. I was a Lougheed Tory. I was a Joe Clark Tory. Yes, the Progressive Conservatives (both prov and fed) were Dad’s party, but there were many principled people who hailed from my fair land, so I hitched my wagon to them

@ABDanielleSmith Interesting fact: Ralph Bucks signalled the beginning of the end for Klein. Albertans realized that he was all out of ideas. Months later, he was gone.

I think people have lost the will to try fact-check this guy due to the volume of lies he spreads.

“Sports betting is destructive. It has ruined the lives of some people I know. That's why I refused to appear in sports betting advertisements. Many of us come from the suburbs, and it destroys the lives of countless people there.”

June 26, 2026 the chuckwagon world lost a true legend; Tom Glass.
Tom was more than a champion driver; he was a horseman, mentor, family man & ambassador for our sport.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Glass family & all who knew and loved him.
Ride easy, Tom. 🤍🏇
