@gthomsonink Excellent piece, Graham. This strikes me as a jurisdictional dust-up and many Albertans would not give a fig that the premier is upset about it. "The feds want to give us money?" they'd say. "Well, let's not get in their way."
Danielle Smith's mantra "More Alberta, Less Ottawa" has become "More Danielle Smith's Alberta, Less Canada." My latest column for The Star. #ableg thestar.com/opinion/contri…
Just so we’re clear: you think Trudeau is the sun and Poilievre will be the cause of widespread darkness?

A great example of journalism. Holding a politician’s feet to the fire. Perhaps demonstrating some insight into the issues contributing to growing addictions and worsening mental healthcare would console me.

@TheTyee @youseepeeYYC @gthomsonink Thanks Tyee
Nenshi may be the NDP leadership frontrunner, but Danielle Smith remains way ahead of that pack. New @WestofCentreCBC with @alex_n_boyd @JLisaYoung and @gthomsonink. Plus they let me host again: cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
You know that RCMP report that Postmedia pundits keep talking about, the one that says Canadians are ready to "revolt"? It actually says no such thing. But the deliberate conservative framing of it says far, far more -- about them and our future. #cdnpoli nationalobserver.com/2024/03/28/opi…
Rakhi Pancholi drops, endorses Nenshi. If he didn't have the insta-frontrunner vibes before....

ICYMI: Edmonton's first new hospital in 40 years just got iced by the UCP when the system is already in a massive crisis. Imagine what this will look like in 5-10 years, and the govt has no stated plan to fix it. Edmontonians are right to be furious. #yeg edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…
Is Alberta setting the table for a provincial police force? Premier @ABDanielleSmith takes a question on Bill 11, tabled at #ableg Wednesday, then @gthomsonink tells us what he thinks is really going on. 📺 FULL: rtrj.info/031424PDS 🎧 FULL: rtrj.info/031424 #abpoli
@RedDeerChamber listening to Media Panel on Alberta Politics @albertachambers Political Action Day in Edmonton. Listening to @ryanjespersen @jengerson @grahamthompson Great insights on state of Alberta Politics!
One of my favourite traditions every year! Always fun talking politics with @gthomsonink and @jengerson. Would love to tell you what we got into, but that’s the beauty of this forum: what happens there stays there. Thanks to @albertachambers for the invite! #abpoli #cdnpoli

Check out our interview with Premier @ABDanielleSmith, and stick around for the debrief/fact check with @gthomsonink and @JeromyYYC: rtrj.info/031424PDS #abpoli #ableg
The @ryanjespersen #RealTalkRJ interview of the Premier this morning was interesting, but she has fine tuned her deflection & talking points to the point little new info is gleaned. The real juice was the immediate analysis & follow up from @JeromyYYC and @gthomsonink #ableg
Thursday's #RealTalkRJ: Alberta Premier @ABDanielleSmith joins Ryan in studio @gthomsonink and @JeromyYYC debrief after the interview Watch or listen live at 8:30am MT or later on demand: ryanjespersen.com #ableg #abpoli
Naheed Nenshi Is Loving the UCP Freak-Out | My latest column for The Tyee #ableg #abpoli thetyee.ca/Analysis/2024/…
Essentially, the province is tabling a bill to create a new provincial police force, but can't say what the force is actually going to do, how big it will be, what its jurisdiction is relative to other police, and what it will cost. Does this seem backward to anyone else?
Mixed messaging from the UCP on whether they still intend to dump the RCMP. - Hiring many more sheriffs; - Creating new police service with mystery mandate; - Minister says new service not meant to replace the RCMP, but adds govt still has to "explore all options.” #ableg 🤷♂️😕

@gthomsonink "Rough-around-the-edges" might be the most charitable description of Rob Ford I've read in a while.

Why are journalists so important? Read this thread to start to appreciate the incredible amount of legwork that goes into a story. Journalists are foundational to our democracy, shortcuts undercut that. (And again, we aren’t journalists) #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Saw this comment and realized it's a great teachable moment to explain why you wouldn't have seen this story on the 6 p.m. newscast. So here's a thread on how the journalism "sausage" is made. (No rude comments to this person I quote tweeted, please). 🧵
@gthomsonink A West of Centre appearance and you’re interviewing @JeremyAppel1025? That’s one heck of a January!
I'm launching #Kenneyism at the Aviary on Feb. 6, where I'll be interviewed by @gthomsonink, who called the book "provocative, insightful and meticulously researched." Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door, and include a copy of the book #ableg the-aviary.net/events/2024/2/…
@gthomsonink Another spot-on article. But those of us not in her base were never fooled by her "moderate" approach nonsense.
@gthomsonink Another excellent article. Thanks!
@albertaviews @ABDanielleSmith @gthomsonink That article is definitely not bollocks
Alberta's Own Brexit? "Polls indicate Albertans don’t like the idea of withdrawing from the CPP. A provincial pension plan is bollocks." Read Graham Thomson's column here: albertaviews.ca/albertas-own-b… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #alberta @ABDanielleSmith @gthomsonink
"Will she at least stay on as leader through the spring sitting of the legislature? “Yeah, yeah, sure,” she said, but it’s difficult to say whether that’s a slip of the tongue or a tongue planted firmly in cheek."
