a) The reason to dislike the dude isn't really tied to his on ice results...
b) I don't want to poo poo their start but... It's been A LOT of 97, 29, and 2 dragging along a non-playoff roster at this stage.
(I expect some things to improve while others revert)

Just saying…
Just ignoring a lot of the nonsense here….
These people say things like “Carney has no right to ______” as if he’s doing that, said he could/would do that, hadn’t actually said that wasn’t the plan.
Eby rightfully got slapped at the polls because he pulled a cynical stunt to manipulate voting circumstances. How would delaying the vote so you can gerrymander provincial ridings be any different?
How's that for a Friday afternoon Alberta politics drop?

Sam Altman is what happens if you ask AI to imagine the shittiest human.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says it’s “quite terrible” that people have so much DRAM sitting in their own PCs instead of being used in data centers.
“Everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer. And be used 5% of the time,”
He argues that cloud data centers should make better use of limited memory supplies instead of people running AI models locally.
Big government intervention in everything. Keep in mind, Smith and co are likely the reason for much of the increases here.
We're lowering and freezing provincial education property tax rates across Alberta.
The new rates will standardize and freeze provincial education property tax rates for three years. These changes will help municipalities budget with confidence and give Albertans greater certainty when planning for the years ahead.
Through Budget 2027, we're making changes that will:
✅ Deliver savings: an estimated $98.7 million in savings for Alberta property owners in 2027-28.
✅ Improve fairness: Apply consistent provincial education property tax rates across municipalities.
✅ Provide certainty: Give municipalities a predictable provincial tax rate to plan around when making decisions for their communities.
✅ Protect Albertans: Introduce a one-time transition tax credit in 2027 for property owners in communities where the new provincial rates would otherwise be higher.
No matter where Albertans live, they should be able to count on a fair, consistent and predictable approach to education property taxes.

See, like the DEI thing, they use some disingenuous but believable framing to manipulate response. Something like “we’re making access to what’s happening inside schools easier for parents!” I mean, who would disagree with that, right? BUT….. 🧵

the "online tool to help navigate concerns" is their snitch line.
Parents deserve clear, consistent information about their child’s education and confidence that their concerns will be heard.
That’s why we’re introducing Bill 35. If passed, these changes would establish provincial standards for report cards, require greater transparency about how PD and other non-instructional days are used, and require school boards to have processes for addressing parental concerns that remain unresolved. We also plan to develop an online tool to help families navigate concerns.
These changes are about strengthening transparency, accountability and parental involvement across Alberta’s education system.
