CBC reporter laughs at the idea of kids wanting to work on farms. Most farm kids laugh at the idea of people wanting to work at CBC. #ableg #AbAg #CdnAg.
The idea that this young man wants to work on a farm, and is willing to "roll up his sleeves" and work hard is, apparently, HILARIOUS to this CBC journalist.

The Trudeau Liberals have quickly gone from paying off journalists to regulating who is free to speak. It’s clear they have no tolerance for opposing views. It’s dangerous, unconstitutional, and the public needs to speak up - while it's still free to do it. #cdnpoli.

This attack on a turkey farm is unacceptable. Hardworking farmers and ranchers shouldn't have to deal with harassment from illegal protesters. They shouldn't have to worry about people entering their work, interfering with their lives or threatening the health of their animals.

Nenshi, your ‘plan’ in 2015 was a taxpayer-funded dumpster fire. As Mayor, you overpromised a 46km Green Line from 160 Ave to Seton for $4.5B and never delivered. Then, while you were still Mayor, you cut off the North Calgary alignment. Quit gaslighting Calgarians - they.
The Minister swings and badly misses here. He doesn't understand this file or his job very well. In fact, on July 30, there was a plan to build the Green Line from north to south. His new plan now costs more than the original, but never goes north and lights $1.3 billion on

Calgarians remember the incompetence of Nenshi when he was in power. He burned millions on vanity projects across Calgary and ignored critical water infrastructure - a state of emergency happened due to his neglect. Albertans deserve leadership - not another Nenshi Nightmare.
The UCP’s complete mismanagement of the Green Line LRT project will cost taxpayers $1.4 BILLION for a project that will be less useful, more disruptive, and reduce Calgarians' property values. You have my word: When I am Premier, the Alberta NDP will get the Green Line

It turns out climate change isn’t real in places Justin Trudeau needs to win seats… #cdnpoli.
So, today, if you heat your home with heating oil you pay no carbon price. If you heat for home with natural gas, which is about 30% cleaner on an emissions per GJ basis, you're paying carbon taxes. Among other things, the regional distribution of this is unfair.

ICYMI here’s a sample of nearly $2B from Alberta’s Budget for Edmonton. Yellowhead Trail – $145M. Terwillegar – $124M. Ray Gibbon – $31M. 50 Street – $8.2M. Hundreds of millions from your Bike Lane and Electric Bus Boondoggles would’ve gone a long way for your road budget.
The Government of Alberta pays to maintain Calgary’s Deerfoot Trail, but doesn’t pay the same maintenance for the Yellowhead or Whitemud. Edmonton deserves a fair deal to maintain our provincial highways within city boundaries. Read more about Edmonton’s missing $17 million
