Long story short ... basically its up to the voters. But as Leader of the Opposition and even more so if he becomes an MLA, he is going to have to spend some time in Edmonton. I don't think he can commute from Calgary daily.

So he will have to have a residence of some sort here, if he doesn't already.

Has anyone heard if Nenshi plans on making his home somewhere within the Edmonton Stratchcona riding?

From Nenshi's announcement post:

"This doesn’t mean I’m leaving Calgary behind! While still proudly Calgarian, I’m already dividing my time between the two cities and I’m looking forward to learning more about Edmonton."

All I've heard.

Isn't it funny these days how often the worst abusers point fingers either vaguely in the direction of others or more pointedly so.

So Trump wants OPEC to open the taps and flood the market with cheap oil. And said again the US doesn't need oil and gas from Alberta.

What's worse? Cheap oil or tariffs? How about both? Yikes.

Trump is emboldened more than ever right now. At least the offer to be the 51st state is still on the table, though, ha

MAGA aligned Albertans genuinely thought Trump was their best friend lmao. I would laugh so hard if it wasnt for the fact we're being hit hard by these.
