UCP says they're axing because transit service isn't its jurisdiction. Neither is funding roads and utility work around an arena, but Danielle Smith will fund that. Choices. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

Graham Thomson Excellent piece, Graham. This strikes me as a jurisdictional dust-up and many Albertans would not give a fig that the premier is upset about it. 'The feds want to give us money?' they'd say. 'Well, let's not get in their way.'

Danielle Smith's mantra 'More Alberta, Less Ottawa' has become 'More Danielle Smith's Alberta, Less Canada.' My latest column for The Star. thestar.com/opinion/contri…

A great example of journalism. Holding a politician’s feet to the fire. Perhaps demonstrating some insight into the issues contributing to growing addictions and worsening mental healthcare would console me.

Nenshi may be the NDP leadership frontrunner, but Danielle Smith remains way ahead of that pack. New West of Centre CBC with Alex Boyd Lisa Young and Graham Thomson. Plus they let me host again:

You know that RCMP report that Postmedia pundits keep talking about, the one that says Canadians are ready to 'revolt'? It actually says no such thing. But the deliberate conservative framing of it says far, far more -- about them and our future. nationalobserver.com/2024/03/28/opi…

ICYMI: Edmonton's first new hospital in 40 years just got iced by the UCP when the system is already in a massive crisis. Imagine what this will look like in 5-10 years, and the govt has no stated plan to fix it. Edmontonians are right to be furious. edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…

Is Alberta setting the table for a provincial police force?

Premier Danielle Smith takes a question on Bill 11, tabled at Wednesday, then Graham Thomson tells us what he thinks is really going on.

One of my favourite traditions every year! Always fun talking politics with Graham Thomson and Jen Gerson. Would love to tell you what we got into, but that’s the beauty of this forum: what happens there stays there. Thanks to Alberta Chambers for the invite!

The Ryan Jespersen interview of the Premier this morning was interesting, but she has fine tuned her deflection & talking points to the point little new info is gleaned. The real juice was the immediate analysis & follow up from Jeromy (Pathfinder) Farkas and Graham Thomson
