“Everything is Political”

UCP MLAs aren’t stuck with UCP

By Deirdre Mitchell-MacLean on May 17, 2022 • ( Leave a comment )

If the UCP can call themselves “united”, the Buffalo Party can get away with a bison logo. When the Wildrose and Progressive Conservative parties voted to merge in 2017, there was an understanding on behalf of some voters that the merger would be a partnership of equals. That […]

Ft McMurray-Lac La Biche by-election could erase Jason Kenney from Alberta history

By Deirdre Mitchell-MacLean on March 17, 2022

With “super incumbent” Brian Jean easily winning a seat that was previously held by both himself and the UCP, it sets Alberta onto a path that wasn’t part of Jason Kenney’s plans. It’s not often that a person who has won five previous elections shows up as a […]

Governing gets in the way as Kenney’s leadership review creeps closer

By Deirdre Mitchell-MacLean on March 4, 2022

The problem for Kenney is that – in his position as leader of the UCP, and therefore as Premier – Covid restrictions are political, rather than public health, issues.

For Kenney’s leadership review, Red Deer is ground zero

By Deirdre Mitchell-MacLean on December 10, 2021

Jason Kenney will face the leadership review he agreed to let the UCP members hold in April, and he’ll do it amongst friends. For $10, you can become a member of a private club (if they permit) and for an additional $100 (plus expenses), you too can have […]

Resource royalties are back; millions of Albertans exhale “Amen”

By Deirdre Mitchell-MacLean on November 30, 2021

In the fairy tale that is Alberta, this major miscalculation is deemed a gift from the Gods, or God, or whomever grants Alberta free money under a conservative government.

Democratic ideals have no place here

By Deirdre Mitchell-MacLean on November 24, 2021

But if Kenney doesn’t get an actual win soon, it’ll be “shunned and stunned” for the province’s natural governing party – again.

UCP: we hear you asking for help, Alberta; we hear you.

By Deirdre Mitchell-MacLean on September 9, 2021

Alberta’s government is doubling down on their bad decisions and every illness and preventable death that follows belongs to them. Every, single, one.

What she said

By Deirdre Mitchell-MacLean on September 6, 2021

If you put others at risk, you are the problem.

Kenney tasks newly appointed Minister from remote village with creating Alberta Identity Strategy

By Deirdre Mitchell-MacLean on July 8, 2021

Apparently, Aheer was too much culture, multiculturalism, and woman, to implement Kenney’s vision of the Alberta Identity.

  • From the archives: Vantage Point May 2, 2022
    In case you missed it: this episode with Troy Wason, former president of the Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta, and Vitor Marciano, former Executive Director of the Wildrose Alliance Party and inner political advisor within the Wildrose Party, was recorded in March of 2019. I asked them to tell me what was going on within […]
  • Loving, Losing, and Living December 23, 2021
    We often think of the joys of Christmas but people who have experienced loss still have the same calendars we do, and for some, it's not as easy. This hour is about loving, losing, and living. Many thanks to our guests, founders of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support Centre, Aditi Loveridge and Danyelle Kaluski for […]
  • She Blinded Me With Science December 17, 2021
    Today's guests are pulling no punches about Covid. Dr. Gosia Gasperowich, a developmental biologist from the University of Calgary, Shawna Gawreluck, an Edmonton medical laboratory technician, and Dr. Tehseen Ladha, a pediatrician and professor from the University of Alberta let us bask in their knowledge for an episode that flies by - like it's airborne.
