Bell: Pipeline or not, Pierre Poilievre really thinks Mark Carney is full of it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sit down with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre on a late afternoon in Calgary and it is crystal clear what he thinks of Prime Minister Mark Carney. At the end of the interview I tell Poilievre he sure sounds like he believes Carney is truly full of crap, a snake oil salesman. “I use the more polite word. He’s an illusion. He’s an illusion.” Poilievre sizes up Carney mere hours away from what is being advertised as a blockbuster announcement. Your weekday lunchtime roundup of curated links, n
Bell: Will Smith lay down the law to Alberta separatists? We'll have to wait (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Had to toss the political puzzler Premier Danielle Smith’s way Monday. After all, the latest poll from late last week shows support for Smith and the UCP dropping in Calgary, now trailing Naheed Nenshi in the city by several points. Yes, trailing Nenshi in Calgary. The UCP and NDP are tied in the province. And, after all, Smith and the UCP just lost a byelection battle in the deep south of Calgary, true blue conservative country. This is not some poll, some sample. This is actual voters heading
Bell: What?! Smith UCP, Nenshi NDP are neck and neck — now it's war (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The numbers jolt you into reality on Friday morning faster and harder than a string of high-octane coffees and a couple of Red Bulls. What also slaps you in the face is the fact the nose count is done by Janet Brown, who has a very good reputation as a pollster. This is not some fly-by-night number crunching. As with polls in the past, CBC shares what they find. Bam! In Alberta, the NDP under Naheed Nenshi is up 5 points. The UCP under Premier Danielle Smith is down 8 points. Your weekday luncht
Bell: New Alberta rules coming for e-scooters, e-bikes — a sneak peek (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Alberta, new rules are coming for e-scooters, e-bikes and other such vehicles. Exactly how and when the Alberta government will roll out new rules is yet to be determined. There are details still to be worked out and we’ll have to wait for answers to some questions. There will also be a public education campaign rolled out across Alberta stressing the safe use of e-scooters, e-bikes and the like. We are told what the Alberta government is proposing is a standard set of rules across the provin
Bell: Lefties chill out! Danielle Smith is no racist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hear the howls of outrage! Witness the wailing and the gnashing of teeth! See the accusations of racism! If we were talking about a real presence of racism, if we were speaking of the evil of racism rearing its ugly head, fair-minded people should stand up and denounce it. But what we have here is a script that’s become oh-so-predictable, a playbook trotted out anytime anyone dares to approach anything to do with the topic of immigration. So it is with Premier Danielle Smith and her UCP governme
