I noticed in the latest federal voting intention polls that Edmonton Strathcona is firmly NDP - its interesting how this university riding has so much support for an openly anti-semitic political party led by a champagne socialist who attacks entrepreneurs, business leaders, the oil industry, free speech etc etc. It's all very "progressive" LOL

You limit who can view your profile, checks out lol. You just post here to troll and stir up stuff, but it's not working and I'm sure are now on many folks' mute lists. Tell Putin we all say 'get bent'.

I have read dozens of posts on here saying "Danni" is a dimwit and anyone who supports here is a stupid redneck who can't do basic math etc etc. But when I post something about a university riding in Edmonton (presumably full of "settler - colonialism" publicly paid unionized academia) supporting an openly anti-semitic federal party led by a self-serving anti-capitalist champagne socialist I am called "a troll" - well I guess its better then being called a fascist nazi or russian troll bot!! So funny - so typical.

It’s interesting in the current federal leadership vacuum to read Don Braid’s column.

It’s hard not to agree with his conclusion that “it is mildly ironic that this premier, with her national ideology of provincial sovereignty, has become such a strong voice for Canada.”

Loud voice does not mean strong. She is a loud voice for very narrow interests.

Three "new" financial/tax changes for 2025:
- Alberta’s electricity “rate of last resort” starts Wednesday, replacing the province’s previous default rate for consumers who don't have a contract. The rate is set at about 12 cents per kilowatt hour until 2027.
- Albertans also start paying today a tax on vaping products to fall in line with existing federal taxes.The governments say the tax is meant to discourage vaping, especially by young people.
- Early in the new year, Alberta plans to impose a $200 registration tax on electric vehicles.

I bet our Premier is on the horn to her BFF right now to ensure that he shuts down the flow of drugs into Alberta.

Perhaps for those who live in a bubble, but I don't think many outside of Alberta really pay much attention to the constant barrage of bs from our current provincial government.It’s interesting in the current federal leadership vacuum to read Don Braid’s column.

It likely just confirms their suspicions about the UCP and its current leader being kooky. There are some strong voices for Canada elsewhere, but not from our sovereignist Premier.

This actually makes fairly good sense, an urban seat, fairly safe for the NDP and it does give Nenshi an opportunity as he said to learn more about Edmonton, raise his profile here and get into the Legislature.

Eh, shoving him in an overly safe seat right away sort of sends the message he might not be electable elsewhere. But your point stands, could be good for the city.

It is not like a lot of other suitable seats are available. It also makes sense to run where a long serving MLA is stepping down anyways, rather than forcing one of their newer MLAs from Calgary to step down.

I would expect (and maybe hope?) that Nenshi would seek a Calgary seat in the next regular election, and just be the "caretaker" of Edmonton-Strathcona until then.
