In 3 days Albertans will go to the polls and hopefully and I also think likely will send Danielle Smith and her ideological government packing. I may update final projection or give a few more if something happens but since busy this weekend I am writing my final thoughts today rather than day before. Below… Continue reading Alberta election final thoughts

Recently a National Post article did a 11,000 word essay on why safe supply is not working. Conservatives have jumped on this while Liberals and other progressives have slammed them as not following evidence and science. I would generally say I lean against both safe supply and safe injection sites but I am open to… Continue reading Safe supply and safe injection sites

Tomorrow the Alberta campaign will reach the halfway point. While still lots can happen, I definitely think NDP has upper hand here and if we are betting man, I would put money on NDP winning, but not a lot as still only narrow advantage so far. Below are my thoughts on each of the parties.… Continue reading Alberta campaign at halfway point

Poilievre has doubled down on his attack on CBC recently asking Elon Musk to label it government funded. I believe this was totally inappropriate to ask a foreign company to interfere in our domestic politics (yes I know Elon Musk has Canadian citizenship, but twitter is foreign owned). More I see Poilievre more I have… Continue reading Poilievre and attack on CBC

Today the budget for 2023-204 was dropped and on balance a big disappointment. A few good things, but on the whole I would give it a C-. It was not a fiscally responsible budget despite finance minister's promise. Below are my thoughts on some of the major items. Perhaps the one good thing in the… Continue reading Budget 2023-2024

After debating with some people on twitter over recent fines for private diagnostic clinics that offer services for pay, below I will give my opinion why I support those and why I think federal government is mistaken here. I understand these were not without warning but the fact that no province who had them in… Continue reading Canada Health Act fines

In last week, we had two very damning stories against two main parties. This brings me to my concern is why can't we have competent politicians who are not overly ideological and avoid making stupid mistakes. On Liberal side, there is concern about foreign interference, while on Tory side, three MPs including one former leadership… Continue reading Can we just get competent politicians for a change?

Many people on right have argued Trudeau has reduced our freedom and even many going as far as saying he is a dictator and/or authoritarian. Trudeau has undoubtedly made government larger and more activist, but I do not believe that means Canada is no longer a free country or authoritarian. Yes perhaps further away from… Continue reading Has Trudeau reduced Freedom?

Many on right claim Trudeau is the most divisive PM ever. I think there is some truth to it, but not for reasons many believe. For starters I don't believe it is possible to be a PM and not be divisive to some degree. Anyone who is PM is going to have to make choices… Continue reading Is Trudeau divisive?

I promised to write a blog on why I think both will lose next elections so here it is. Like any prediction, it is just that and there is always a possibility of being wrong. But I believe Smith only has a 20% chance of beating Notley in the election this May and Poilievre has… Continue reading Why Danielle Smith and Pierre Poilievre will both lose next elections
