Fun…in the @LegAssemblyofAB is about to begin…tomorrow! Tune in to Assembly Online to get the latest in debate and the occasional political drama that marks those long days for MLA’s in standing up for what they believe in and in representing Albertans!
Shameful, disruptive and the pointy end of the wedge that Paris is now dealing with as the wedge gets driven deeper, and the law enforcement and judicial branches of society fail to enforce reasonable community standards around protest and freedom of expression!

This is powerful and true…so why do so many Hamas sympathizers deny the facts and Israel’s right to defend itself against heinous, inhumane and brutal terrorists?
WOW. Holy shit. The best response to Palestinian bullshit ever.
Meticulous. Masterclass by @benshapiro
You’ve gotta watch this
My very personal impression is both these former, democratically “de-throned” politicians have ulterior motives; Musings? One to weaponize the platform to attack PDS/the UCP government, the other to surreptitiously undermine PDS, destabilize PP and to ultimately “rescue” the CPC!

Rachel Notley ironically takes the opportunity to allege that Danielle Smith is “not playing with the team” undermining her Premier, saying that “Donald Trump has an ally in Danielle Smith”
The time to act is NOW. The phrase “never again” must not be allowed to be a rhetorical cop-out in the face of rising Jew-hate and increasing intimidation, vandalism + violent acts of antisemitism in 🇨🇦. Shame on all of us for not standing firmly against such heinous behaviour!
.@CdnHeritage recently released a damning Government of Canada-commissioned report documenting systemic antisemitism on Canadian university campuses.
Former UBC President Partha Piper delivered a message university leaders should heed:
“We do not need any more studies, or committees, or task forces to confirm the issue, or define the underlying causes. The time for decisive action is now.”
At @TorontoMet, however, the response to Justice Mary Lou Benotto’s external review has been to strike yet another task force.
Jewish students need university leaders prepared to act.

The potential wealth generation to support health care, education, social services and Senior’s care cannot be overstated…kudos to Premier @ABDanielleSmith for fighting the good fight on behalf of all Albertans!
Alberta is not going to leave $10 trillion dollars in the ground. Not a chance.
The west coast oil pipeline will create hundreds of thousands of jobs, generate hundreds of billions for roads, schools and hospitals, and keep our taxes amongst the lowest in the developed world. Here’s how 👇
Please share this with those who have questions about Alberta’s plan to build the new west coast pipeline.
Well done Premier @ABDanielleSmith and @UCPCaucus!
I’d call that a pretty good week, and all while welcoming the province, country and world to the “Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth”, which also happens to be the the premier networking and deal-making event on the planet!
"Over the course of a single week, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has unveiled two major pipeline proposals, celebrated the announcement of a $4.6-billion natural gas power plant, and secured Meta’s commitment to build what is expected to become Canada’s largest data centre through a $13-billion investment."

Alberta Counsel was honoured to join Goodstoney First Nation for its Stampede Breakfast and the grand reopening of Nakoda Lodge on Stoney Nakoda Territory.
The morning brought together community members, leaders, and guests to celebrate an important milestone for the Nation, beginning with opening remarks from Chief Clifford Poucette. It was a privilege to take part in the celebration and to see the renewed Nakoda Lodge welcoming visitors once again against the backdrop of the Rockies.
Congratulations to Goodstoney First Nation on this exciting new chapter and thank you for the warm hospitality.

As Stampede continues, we're looking back on one of our favourite afternoons of the week.
Spending time at the Calgary Stampede chuckwagon barns with our clients was a great opportunity to connect, learn more about the incredible dedication behind chuckwagon racing, and experience one of Alberta's most iconic traditions from a unique perspective.
A sincere thank you to the Bensmiller family for opening their doors and sharing their passion for the sport. And thank you to our clients, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and IUOE Local 955, for joining us and making it such an enjoyable afternoon.

From conventional energy to emerging opportunities in critical minerals, Alberta's resource sector continues to be a cornerstone of Canada's economy.
