How the Alberta Government Is Restricting Public Access — and Changing the Law to Keep It That Way
Since 2019, changes to access-to-information laws, fiscal reporting rules, and oversight processes have quietly reduced how much government information the public can see.

The UCP's healthcare "restructuring" has cost Alberta tax payers billion with nothing but bad and expensive results. More restructuring just means it's getting ripped apart, dismantled, and public health care destroyed. And Albertan's are paying for it in more ways than one.

Always shine the light. She did the right thing and is doing the right thing by telling as many people as possible. Bullies need to be called out loudly, and reported to the police.

Carney is the definition of a Canadian. Thanks for showing the world who Canadians really are, and reminding everyone that most Canadians are not MAGA separatist US knock off's.

The UN Security Council Veto: Why “Never Again” Was Conditional
The world is watching Iran. The UN Security Council is watching too — that's all they can do.
The UN promised “never again.”
But international law has no sovereign enforcer.
From Rwanda to Syria to Gaza to Iran, the pattern is structural — not accidental.

They do but they don't care. It's a government that feels very little responsibility on any level for the people of Alberta.

It's a reasonable request to ask the federal government to clarify its position on Bill 11 and, if it violates the Canada Health Act, to use its tools to protect universal, public‑funded care.

Are We Paying Just to Work Here?
Alberta hit record oil output in 2025. Royalties dropped 24%. Debt hit $109B. A documented analysis of how Alberta's government stopped listening to citizens.
In 1905, Albertans made an agreement with their government. Citizens fund it. Government serves them.
The record shows what happened to that agreement — and how government stopped listening to its citizens.

Agree. Politicians dreaming of Alberta Pension Plan control while Alberta's deficit balloons? That's not stewardship—it's a heist in slow motion.

If the current model is more targeted, better‑conditioned, and clearer on jobs and private matching than the pre‑Carney approach, it is showing success. The key will be whether it can expand to more SMEs, rural regions, and mid‑skill workers over time — not whether it solves everything right away.

Carney's projects mandate private matching funds (1:4 ratio) with Major Projects Office oversight and public reports on jobs/funds. Early stages limit trickle-down proof; federal audits apply, unionization project-specific.

These aren't limited to the Ring of Fire—projects span Canada, covering engineering, trades, logistics, and analysis, with salaries from $50K–$300K based on skills. No specific quotas or non-trades focus are detailed yet; it's about attracting private investment rather than govt picking numbers.

Definitely. A consistent lack of empathy or compassion, especially when paired with chronic lying or manipulation, is a strong indicator of sociopathic or antisocial personality traits. It's becoming more normalized with these individuals more prominent as political figures.

Shame is deeply shaped by empathy and compassion, and without those traits, leaders are far more likely to focus on inflating their ego and gaining power than on caring for others.

No confirmed updates or finish dates exist for the RCMP investigation from March 6, 2025, allegations into Smith for political interference and conflicts of interest. Might hear something potentially post-October 2026 referendum.
