Guthrie EXPELLED from the UCP caucus: https://bsky.app/profile/ctheriault.bsky.social/post/3lmx7z4piik23

Smith says he was never gagged and was offered opportunities to speak ... (as long as he didn't say anything critical about the UCP, presumably?).

She has to be in the running for gas lighter of the year!

Any word on when is the provincial by-election for Edmonton-Strathcona is supposed to occur?

 

[MacLac]

Not surprising - hopefully he is willing to speak up more in the absence of partisan obligations.

Old news? Thought he got punted by our Supreme B*tch Leader weeks ago? Did he not?

The by-election must be called by June 30 (six months from Notley's Dec 30 resignation) and the writ period is 28 days. So late July at the latest.

He was still part of the UCP caucus as a backbencher (on "probation") until today.

That was his removal from cabinet - not caucus.

Good to know. Knowing how the Premier and her clown show operate, the by-election won't be called until the last minute.

If she waits as long as possible, Nenshi continues having no seat in the legislature. The "Outside looking in" isn't great from an optics perspective.

There's no way it'll be called sooner unless there is reason to believe the UPC could take Strathcona.

New pic from Game 7 of cup finals in Florida - question being posed, how did these people pay for their tickets. We know UCP was treated to others but was there also Game 7?

Wait, am I allowed to be angry? Or is this "Rage Bait?"

Strathcona is Nenshi's to lose.

I would guess they will wait as long as possible. It isn't a big deal, but it means he isn't an official MLA during Stampede. So if there is a role for the Official Opposition Leader, such as marching/riding in the parade, it goes to Christina Gray, not Nenshi.
