Here's a fun fact from Alberta's Budget 2023: Total expenses for 2023/24 is projected at $68.3 billion. The previous NDP government was planning for $66.5 billion that same year. AB's first pre-election budget in 8 years is opening the fiscal taps.

Pretty serious stuff in this report.

#Breaking: My investigation for Global News identifies that PM Justin Trudeau's senior aides were allegedly briefed by CSIS shortly before the October 2019 federal election, that candidate Han Dong, was suspected to be involved in PRC Foreign Interference.

Hey @topps! I pulled my first ever 1/1 the other day. The debate is, who is the player pictured? Thanks!

Great thread here about how Alberta’s medical experts helped with COVID treatment research. It truly is insulting that our premier dismisses all the hard work of our medical experts in the province because she wants to believe something she read “somewhere on the internet.”

Great move by @BarryMorishita and the @AlbertaParty. If @RachelNotley and @jkenney refuse they look uncaring. If they take up the offer it legitimizes @AlbertaParty. Also appeals to voters who are sick of divisive and polarizing political games.

Invitations are sent to @RachelNotley, @jkenney and their Party executives. We need a unified approach to stop the violence faced by elected officials in Alberta. I am calling on my audience to put pressure on them to address this very serious issue. Let's share this far and wide

Very well thought out and personal take by @JyotiGondek. Nobody deserves to be harassed, threatened, abused for their public service regardless of political stripe. More needs to be done here including jail time for these knuckleheads that are essentially grown-up bullies.

1/I have been asked by some people why I haven’t made a public statement about the assault on our Deputy Prime Minister. To be blunt, I had to sit with my thoughts for a couple of days. Because this incident is not isolated & it brings up too much pain. And fear. Yes, fear.
For those of you who believe the GP incident with @cafreeland was staged, read the below thread. The Libs must have really been playing the long game with the supposed “paid actor.”

1/ It’s more important than ever for political leaders - on left and the right - to resist the temptation to profit from political polarization. In practical terms this means not platforming wedge issues and instead, normalizing listening and consensus building.

Last night, someone who clearly owns guns directly threatened and harassed my entire family. I'm speaking to police about this, but it's already forcing my loved ones to take precautions. You can disagree with my reporting. You can critique it. But don't threaten my family.
Hey #yyc! The weather is going to stay warm all week and we are super low on bottled water. If you are able, we would appreciate any donations for our Shelter and Outreach teams to be able to hand out #hotweather #yycweather Drop off location: 203 15 Ave SE

This is disgusting. Regardless of how you feel about the way journalists are covering the news, this behaviour is NOT okay.

This threat, which was emailed to Saba and mentions @wickdchiq and me, suggests some hateful people have put together a "wall" with pictures of journalists they dislike. They rated who needs to be "silenced first." Guys, I'm starting to think Canada miiiight have a problem!
I don’t own a gun, and don’t want to. I also have no issues with strict gun control measures. But if you’re going to continue to ratchet those up, then you also better do something about the elephant in the room too.

Exclusive data obtained by @Reuters for Ontario, Canada's most populous province, shows that when handguns involved in crimes were traced in 2021, they were overwhelmingly - 85% of the time - found to have come from the United States reut.rs/3QfSRcD
