Alberta's premier, from the US-Canada Summit in Toronto, is happy to see reporting that Carney and Trump talked about rebooting Keystone XL. But Smith says she still wants an Alberta to BC pipeline because it will get "maximum volume" to "maximum number of new markets." #ableg

Looks like Albertans may have a 2nd referendum question on ballots next year. That being: "Should the Government of Alberta end its current practice of allocating public funds to accredited independent (private) schools?" Thoughts?! #ableg #cdnpoli

The ATA confirms that teachers are being locked out by the province, but says this was expected. Labour experts would know better, but I believe this is a pretty common move in these situations.

It’s a 2-way race for Edmonton mayor, according to a new poll from Abacus Data. Interesting almost half say the city is “on the wrong track,” yet the 2 guys on council for years are leading. #yeg #yegcc
