Democracy Derailed
The returning officer scandal continues to grow, with half Alberta’s returning officers now revealed to have known ties to the PCs.

Say My Name, Say My Name
I’m not sure if this reflects worse on Ed Stelmach, or on Brian Mason: A reporter asked Stelmach to react to NDP Leader Brian Mason’s earlier release of an email his party received from the chair of the province’s royalty review panel, Bill Hunter. Here’s what Stelmach said: “I’m not aware of Bill’s comments uh […]

Are You Smarter Than A 10th Grader?
Actual reviews from grade 10 students after Ed’s Q & A with them (since when do Canadian High Schools host partisan events anyways?). Talk about a tough crowd: A group of Grade 10 students interviewed after the premier’s appearance were unimpressed with their firsthand look at political stumping. “Honestly, I didn’t think he answered that […]
