Lorne Gunter: Premier Smith saddled with outsized influence of UCP's cranks and loons (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The most recent polls are good news for those Albertans who want the province to remain in Confederation. Last week, the esteemed Alberta pollster Janet Brown found that 72 per cent of provincial voters were in favour of remaining in Canada, while just 23 per cent wanted to leave. I had a sense in recent weeks that the separatists were gaining momentum, that support for forming an independent Alberta was growing. Not so according to Brown. She found a five per cent rise from her previous poll fo
Lorne Gunter: Federal Grits’ outlook better than B.C. NDP’s in snap-election scenarios (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There could be two snap elections in Canada before Christmas. British Columbia Premier David Eby has already called one for Oct. 24 and Prime Minister Mark Carney is rumoured to be calling another in the coming weeks that would be held sometime before mid-December. There are two big differences between the pair of elections. Both would come as much as two or more years early. Voters often aren’t kind to governments who rouse them from their pollical slumber and make them go to the polls unnecess
Lorne Gunter: City makes tax money from infill monstrosities (opens the original)
Read excerpt
That’s always good advice when you’re searching out corruption. But it also works when you’re trying to understand why politicians are so stubbornly committed to controversial policies. That is certainly the case with Edmonton city council’s obsession with infill, especially its obsession with jamming eight-plexes into single-family lots in the middle of residential streets. This past weekend there were at least four more angry neighbourhood protests against the uber-density infill plans approve
Lorne Gunter: Carney Liberals play fast and loose with federal books (opens the original)
Read excerpt
That’s the only fiscal strategy the Carney Liberals is good at. They will spend an added $38 billion this year over last. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) calculates the federal government will spend $594.8 billion in 2026-27 And much of that — nearly $65 billion — will be borrowed money, Interest on the national debt, which sits at about $1.4 trillion, will cost Ottawa (and taxpayers) nearly $59 billion this year. That’s more than federal health transfers to provinces ($57.4B) or total G
Lorne Gunter: Mark Messier overlooks Oilers history of rehabbing NHL careers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mark Messier has always been my favourite Oiler. I know, I know, the best player of all time, Wayne Gretzky, played here. But Gretzky belonged more to the game itself than to Edmonton. Mess was all ours. He had the best hands and skate-cutting move, ever. He was the embodiment of our city. Skilled, but hardworking. Graceful at times, but also a grinder when he needed to be. A superstar who was tough, too. So it was disconcerting to read that Messier was “just horrified” the team had hired Mike B
