Looks like the fun police have struck again in Alberta, this time targeting people trying to enjoy a pint. This last-minute hike before Stampede will raise the minimum price of a beer from $3.20 to $5, a 60% increase. The provincial government will negatively affect thousands of workers and create additional problems for bars and restaurants already facing higher costs. Many major provinces successfully support thriving brewing and hospitality industries without raising minimum drink prices by this much. Alberta’s brewing industry is one of our signature success stories. It supports local jobs, attracts visitors, and gives communities something to be proud of. The Premier and AGLC should reconsider these changes and work with operators to find a solution that balances responsible service with the economic and cultural benefits these businesses bring to our province.

Looks like the fun police have struck again in Calgary, this time targeting the Calgary Stampede music scene. By reducing allowable noise levels and shutting shows down early on weeknights, the city will negatively affect hundreds of workers and create additional public safety

This is a question I want pollsters to ask: “If UCP had said, in their 2023 election campaign, that they favoured separatism and would do everything in their power to make a separation referendum happen, would you have voted for them?”

Wait, so ALBERTA IS BOOMING … under the oppressive federal yoke? Under the Nine Bad Laws? You mean the richest province in Canada is getting even richer? Clearly there’s no alternative but to bust up the country. I’d respond directly but the premier’s chief of staff blocked me.

So it sounds like Minister Dreeshen may be a separatist. Who could have possibly seen that coming? #ableg

Alberta cabinet minister won't say if he supports keeping province in Canada. Other cabinet members lining up behind Smith's pledge to vote to stay. But Devin Dreeshen avoids answering, @markusoff reports cbc.ca/news/canada/ca… Find out more at nationalnewswatch.com

Some Alberta companies say the unstable political climate in light of the separation referendum question is spooking investors and prompting them to consider moving operations elsewhere: "It’s not good for us." #yyc globalnews.ca/news/11867633/…

Where do we sign up for this “direct democracy” thing where we get an investigation into the AHS scandal, into Sam Mraiche, the $80 million Tylenol scandal, David Parker, the doxxing of 2.9 million Albertans and Premier Danielle Smith’s ties to ALL OF IT? #AbLeg

Rick, I offered you an interview on separatism. You passed. Instead, you’re out here cosplaying as Alberta’s bravest keyboard warrior while carrying water for one of the dumbest ideas in modern Alberta politics. The old Rick would’ve had the guts to ask the questions himself.

Alberta separatists claim oil is the key to independence and they’re not gonna pay income tax. Wellllll Alberta made $22B from oil & gas royalties last year. Sounds like the industry is carrying the whole province, right?Here’s what they don’t tell you. Income taxes brought in $24.2B. Regular Albertans and businesses quietly out-contributed the oilpatch. And oil isn’t stable. In 2015 when prices tanked, resource revenue collapsed to $2.8B. The province ran deficits almost every year from 2008 to 2022. Next year, with oil forecast lower, resource revenue is projected to drop to $13.2B while income tax stays steady near $24B. So when someone tells you we can’t afford to question the oil industry, or that pipelines and royalty breaks are non-negotiable because oil funds everything, ask them this: Why does a province sitting on one of the world’s largest energy reserves keep going broke every time the price of a barrel moves? The industry is important. Nobody’s denying that. But it’s a volatile. Alberta has been using boom revenues to avoid hard conversations instead of building something durable.
