Astutely observed Alex.

"The Liberals' obsession with green, degrowth, net zero dogma" seems to reflect their allegiance to the Euro elites. If so, Canada has become a pawn in the war for global economic control between America and Europe. In the meantime, Alberta's Premier is courageously doing was has to be done to protect the interests of her constituents. The period of grace for our recently elected PM will likely come to an end by the time the leaves start to fall. It will be interesting to see what constructive actions are taken to bolster the Canadian economy before then.

Thank you Ted! And pardon the tardiness — surprisingly busy week for a supposed ‘summer slowdown'!

Amen to your comments. And that honeymoon is definitely over for the capable-of-independent-thought. Sadly, think we’re looking at fall/winter before a sliver of the Liberal base notices, "Gee, this isn’t better."

Well they’re picking up right where the last PM left off. Over 100 conflicts of interest and the Minister for national security revealed to be a terrorist sympathizer at best, more likely an active supporter. Elbows up.

Sure feels like the last ten years so far, based on actual results. Far too many still falling for soothing summer words.

Great column Alex! Premier Smith along with Premier Moe are fighting a losing battle. The rest of the country (with the exception of central and northeastern British Columbia) seems intent on treating us as adolescents. We’re to be seen but not heard. This country’s holier than though attitude will continue to handcuff those that seek to make things better. I don’t see a happy ending.

Kind of you Glenn, and I certainly feel your frustrations. I try to be an optimist, I really do, but this is an objectively bad start — beyond the orchestrated and artificial 'vibe' — and a sign that a more-serious human being may not be worth a whole lot. Have to keep fighting that uphill battle all the same…
