Edmonton, do you have magpies constantly squawking in your ‘hood or do I just have a massive nest close to my place… #yeg.

The Alberta Next Panel is floating the idea of withholding services from immigrants who are not approved by the province. As Sean Amato reports, it’s being touted as a way to slow down growth but there are concerns it may not be constitutional or moral.

How come the #Oilers haven’t signed Klim “The Dream” Kostin to a $775K deal yet….? #yeg.

A chief has been hired to lead Alberta’s newest police force. It will eventually be called Alberta Sheriffs Police Service & could replace RCMP in 2032. As Sean Amato reports, the NDP says it’s a government power grab rooted in separatism. #ableg.

Why didn’t the #Oilers sign Corey Perry for $775k for 7 years? Seriously. Florida and others are doing it. #yeg.

RT @tyleryaremchuk: Arvidsson going to Boston (assuming no money retained or contract coming back) brings the #Oilers to $4.5m in cap space….

It’s becoming increasingly obvious that part of the reason 🇨🇦 teams can’t win a Cup is because a lot of 🇨🇦 players are signing down south for less $$$. Sad, but true. #NHLFreeAgency2025.

The Alberta government is creating a new 20-person advisory team to crack down on violence and aggression in schools. But as Sean Amato reports, some education experts say the obvious solution is more money and staff. #ableg #cdnpoli .

$10.5M/4 years for Bouchard seems like a lot. Until you look at the going rate for average d-men. #yeg #Oilers.

Got a construction notice from City of Edmonton. Both main avenues around my neighbourhood are going to be torn up. Same time. For months. Council candidates: want votes? Talk to us about how you’re gonna stop these never-ending, 3-worker road projects…#yeg #yegcc.

When separation is on actual ballots in Alberta…doesn’t seem to be very popular. Republicans running 4th in Ellerslie, 5th in Strathcona, and 3rd in Olds-Didsbury-Threehills. The latter could signal trouble for UCP (vote splitting) in suburban ridings tho. #ableg #cdnpoli

Just 10% of Albertans supported the creation of a provincial pension, according to 2023 survey results released this week. As Sean Amato reports, the NDP says the government should have come clean and abandoned the idea months ago. #ableg #cdnpoli .

When the #Oilers gave up on GM3 & started playing dirty, I feared it was because they knew, deep down, they could not win. I’ve seen it lots in crappy beer leagues and it proved true in the show too. Heck of a run, until they hit that Florida wall. Always next year #yeg.

Will G7 talks and military conflicts spur Prime Minister Mark Carney to approve more pipelines out of Alberta? The premier remains hopeful, but as Sean Amato reports, First Nations have concerns about pace and consultation. #ableg #cdnpoli #G7Summit .

The G7 has wrapped. Carney said Trump did not bring up making Canada his 51st state (as he often does). The PM says he’s off to watch the Edmonton Oilers in the Cup final. #Oilers #cdnpoli #G7Summit

G7 "family photo" including other invited leaders. Trump no longer there, but he did stay for the G7-only photo yesterday. PM Carney is scheduled to meet with reporters at 4pm, so we should have some news then. #cdnpoli #G7Summit2025
