Nominations are now being accepted for the Alberta Order of Excellence, the province’s highest honour. This distinction recognizes Albertans whose exceptional achievements have made a lasting impact on our province. alberta.ca/aoe-nominate-a…

@DuaneBratt I would add a sixth point: an early election gives Peter Guthrie less time to mobilize his Progressive Tory Party.

Alberta is going to the Polls in 2026 open.substack.com/pub/duanebratt…

@DuaneBratt Over-under that he's going to be the next Speaker?

While watching the federal cabinet swearing in, this happened. This is a big blow to the UCP government. McIver was a major fixer of problems.

@DebatingChris @TheBreakdownAB That’s what I’d like to know. Seems like an odd choice… 🤔

@TheBreakdownAB But why? Why Cooper? Why pick the guy who's been speaker since 2019 and who's been the Olds-etc. MLA since 2015? He doesn't have experience in such a role. Did he volunteer? Is this his way of resigning from caucus - and avoid the scandal - while still working for the UCP?

“Premier Danielle Smith will send Speaker Nathan Cooper to Washington as the provincial representative” And there it is! Nathan Cooper is out as an MLA and is being sent to DC. (Dreeshen must be SO jealous!) #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

@andrew_leach @jkenney Respectfully, I don’t think JK gets credit for that term. The Lieutenant Governor of Alberta has been using “reconcili-action” in her speeches for years.

"Reconcili-action" just coined by @jkenney on the CBC. He's right that it will be interesting (and I think a positive no matter the overall outcome) if Ellis Ross and Billy Morin get elected as CPC MPs.

Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Edinburgh has become Royal Patron of Spruce Meadows. The Duchess of Edinburgh’s patronage recognizes not only Spruce Meadows’ dedication to sporting excellence and development, but also the widespread community and charitable initiatives aimed at enriching people’s lives through the support of amateur and grassroots sports, health and wellness, education, frontline workers, equality for women, military, agriculture, and more, which align with many causes Her Royal Highness advocates for. Welcoming the announcement, Spruce Meadows President and CEO Linda Southern-Heathcott—daughter of founders Ron and Margaret Southern, who officially opened the venue in 1975—remarked: “My family and I, together with all the people who make up Spruce Meadows, are deeply honoured that Her Royal Highness has taken on Spruce Meadows as a Royal Patronage. “The Duchess of Edinburgh is a wonderful example of grace, leadership, and dedication—and is someone for whom I have great personal admiration. The Royal patronage is a true gift, as we celebrate our 50th Anniversary and look ahead to a meaningful future, continuing our expansion into a full-scale Sports and Entertainment District for all to enjoy.” Read more: bit.ly/SMRoyalPatrona… @RoyalFamily

@Spruce_Meadows @RoyalFamily 👏 🇨🇦🇬🇧

@BobPickard @MarkJCarney @fordnation 100%!

The idea that political leaders of different partisan stripes can sit down together in a respectful and constructive manner and work on the same page to find solutions to the country's problems is actually a good thing in this era of hyper-partisanship and algorithm-amped outrage online.

Thanks for the breakfast meeting, Premier @fordnation — and for standing up for Ontario. We’ve got a big fight ahead of us, and we’ll be working together every step of the way. We’re strongest when we’re united.

@FlyYEG yikes. The new ride share pickup process is horrendous. You’re forcing passengers to walk across a parkade and outside exposed to the elements (we live in a winter city). How is this improving the passenger experience or safety at all?

@TRHLofficial 100% accurate.

Good news. I finally figured out who Tim Walz reminds me of.

@Christy4Change There is also an unbelievable lodge right along this highway on Bow Lake with incredible views! lodgeatbowlake.com

If you’re even in Alberta I highly suggest you take highway 93 from Banff to Jasper. It will be one of the most beautiful drives of your life.

@pancholi_rakhi @nenshi @ChristinaNDP Congratulations, Rakhi! 👏🎉

I am thrilled to take on the role of Deputy Leader and to work with our incredible new Leader, Naheed Nenshi, to serve all Albertans. 🧡💜 Together we will travel this province meeting Albertans where they are, listening to their stories, and making sure we reflect their priorities and aspirations for our province! And I couldn’t be more delighted to work alongside my brilliant and amazing friend, Christina Gray, who will serve as Official Opposition Leader in the Assembly and House Leader!

This tweet aged well. #emmys #Succession

Why aren’t we as a collective asking for more Muppets in commercials?

@maxfawcett My thoughts exactly.

Priorities.

@Simplyaretha Congratulations, Aretha! I am still finishing mine all these years later 🤦‍♀️

@RebeccaLiedtke @drsaminaali @GabResearchMD Amazing, Rebecca! You’re an inspiration!

Blessed. So hard to put a story into two minutes, but honoured. What did not make the cut was thanking my mentors @drsaminaali and @GabResearchMD for the guidance and encouragement! edmonton.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=2…
