Hey @sskroughriders, you may not be our provincial team, but your hospitality back in December 2023 is remembered.
Good luck in the Grey Cup 🏆

@PierrePoilievre Please Canada take notice of the Shitshow happening in America right now. Trump's main agenda for election included "groceries" and he claims it's one of the reasons he won. He's done nothing to lower costs I fear the Conservatives in Canada will be the same.
It’s very clear that the Premier doesn’t think that Pierre Poilievre is going to win the next federal election if she is tying us up in court for so many years on yet another unwinnable court case.
I’m no lawyer, but the Supreme Court has ruled that the carbon tax is constitutional. Certainly, the federal government really dropped the ball in creating the carve out for home heating oil. I don’t know why they thought that was a good idea. They absolutely undermined the consumer carbon tax in a very big way.
But again, instead of making a deal with the federal government, instead of talking about an exemption for natural gas or even more rebate money going to people in Alberta who want to get off home heating oil, the UCP government just chooses to fight.
The most telling part of the Premier’s press conference today was when she was asked if she talked to the federal government and her response was essentially, “Why would I do that?”
This Premier doesn’t want to win, she just wants to fight. So, she wants to drag out a court case for as many years as she can so she can show she is fighting.
But here is what is clear, Alberta has the highest unemployment rate outside of the Maritimes under this UCP government. The only job creation this UCP government is interested in is jobs for lawyers in unwinnable court cases.
Why would she time this pointless announcement on another fight with the federal government for today?
Could it have anything to do with her leadership review on Saturday?
Tonight marks the final night behind the bench for Toledo. We would like to thank him for all of his dedication and hard work over the years and wish him a happy retirement!

This is so awesome to see! His journey started with The Red Deer Rustlers as a Stickboy, back in in about 1983. What a ride he has had. So many athletes became better at their jobs and also better as people due to the influence Toledo had on them.
Longtime @blazerhockey trainer/equipment manager Toledo will reach 1938 WHL games on Saturday. That road game vs. PG will be his last. That Big Dawg @DonnellyTV and I caught up with him today. Keep an eye on @CFJC_Today.
On personal note, I’ll add my voice to the praise choir ..
