Nelson: Bet on Danielle Smith in Alberta's biggest ever political lottery (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Danielle Smith can see the promised land. Whether she reaches it as Alberta’s premier is anyone’s guess in these crazy, mixed-up days. Still, if anyone can manoeuvre through the tumultuous few months ahead, it’s Smith. After all, she’s put herself through the political and personal wringer enough times, so the chaotic state of Alberta right now won’t deter her from doing what she thinks is right for the province. But hold on. Just because someone thinks they’re doing the right thing doesn’t make
Nelson: Premier needs to shower Calgary with care (and cash) to address discontent (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mark Twain underestimated history. It doesn’t just rhyme, it can also repeat. And that’s bad news for Premier Danielle Smith and her UCP government. While much of the chattering classes put Monday night’s byelection result in Calgary-Shaw — where the Conservative seat was nabbed by the NDP — down to voters’ annoyance with the government’s handling of the upcoming separatism referendum, they ignored a more salient point. And it’s one that should send shivers through Smith. Your weekday lunchtime
Nelson: City council's Blue Sky thinking will cost Calgarians big time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Now we know why Calgary is called Blue Sky City. Because that’s the sort of pampered thinking that city hall brass are encouraged to engage in when it comes to spending your money.

Mayor Jeromy Farkas quickly pointed out this was simply initial musings by various civic department heads, and that whatever the final number
Nelson: Calgary byelection a test of Nenshi's NDP leadership (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Byelections usually reflect a government’s performance. The one coming up in Calgary-Shaw is different — it’s a litmus test for former mayor Naheed Nenshi and his leadership of the provincial NDP. Given that we’re now into the fourth year of UCP rule under Premier Danielle Smith and that Shaw went Tory by a comfortable — though not overwhelming — tally in May 2023, an Opposition victory would hardly be a surprise. Byelections are notorious for delivering a slap for the party in power, especially
British diplomat taken aback by spectacular Calgary (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Afghanistan, Nigeria and Cameroon are exotic places, but Alberta’s latest U.K. consul-general still had never seen anything quite as remarkable as the Calgary Stampede. Rob Fitzpatrick is still settling into his official Calgary residence along with his wife, Morgan, and their two girls, aged 12 and eight, but he had a sneak peek of his home for the next four years when he paid a five-day visit in July during the Stampede. Outgoing Consul-General Jonathan Turner arranged the trip, knowing from h
