Alberta’s deputy premier says amendments may be needed to clear up confusion over a bill that grants Premier Danielle Smith and her cabinet unfettered power outside the legislature to rewrite laws and direct agencies to resist federal rules.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is rejecting accusations that a bill granting her and her cabinet sweeping powers to rewrite laws while bypassing the legislature is an undemocratic, dangerous power grab.

Premier Danielle Smith, with Alberta enjoying billions of dollars in surplus cash, announced on Tuesday, November 22, 2022, a batch of inflation-fighting relief aid, particularly for families, seniors and the vulnerable. 

Premier Danielle Smith is scheduled to deliver a televised address to Albertans this evening.

Alberta’s Opposition NDP leader says Premier Danielle Smith has made the province an international embarrassment by proclaiming those who didn’t get vaccinated during COVID-19 endured the worst discrimination she's seen in her lifetime.

Danielle Smith, sworn in on Tuesday, October 11, 2022, as Alberta's new premier, said she will shake up the top tier of the health system within three months and amend provincial human rights law to protect those who choose not to get vaccinated.

The political story of Danielle Smith is one of triumph then defeat, followed by betrayal, banishment and, now, redemption.

If Justin Trudeau wants to survive the next election, whenever it comes, he has to relentlessly tell his own story and forget about attacking Pierre Poilievre, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, one day after announcing he was stepping down for the good of his United Conservative Party, will stay on until a new leader is chosen.

Despite moving the location of the vote, changing the rules around it, and otherwise tilting the table in his own direction wherever possible, Kenney could barely win a plurality of the votes — and didn’t even match the 55 per cent showing that ultimately forced Ralph Klein to step down in 2006.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney said on Wednesday, May 18, 2022, he is stepping down as leader of the United Conservative Party after the party announced he had won a leadership review with just 51.4 per cent of votes.

The federal government is looking to "future proof" the carbon price against political decisions to cancel or lower it down the road.

So far, at least, Rachel Notley's NDP doesn’t seem to sense the political danger associated with this tsunami of oil cash, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

It’s budget day in Alberta, and Premier Jason Kenney says there will be a massive infusion of money for the health−care system.
