This week I was fortunate enough to attend not one but two meetings about unity. First up was Derek Fildebrandt’s Unity Town Hall on Thursday which I tweeted live as best as I was able. In a room of about 80 people, Derek’s speech fell flat on the crowd. I’ve seen him a couple […]
It feels like “hurry up and wait”. On the left we have the governing NDP making good use of their time and stature holding meet and greets. We have the Alberta Liberal Party’s new leader David Khan who has begun an “87 constituency tour“, Jason Kenney on a similar path to garner […]

On March 29, 2017, someone from Whitecap Resources in Calgary provided a letter they’d received from Brad Wall to the Canadian Press. That letter was an advertisement of what benefits would be awaiting Whitecap Resources should they decide to pack up their Calgary operations and relocate to Saskatchewan. While some […]
