• Saturday's letters: Bill B.C. for impact of wildfires

  26-01-2019 14:00 via edmontonjournal.com
  As an Albertan who suffered through the great blanket of smoke that blew into our province last summer, I demand that the City of Victoria pay for the colossal release of carbon emissions that damaged our province.
  As the capital of British Columbia, Victoria failed to provide the necessary funding to control the forest fires that are poisoning our atmosphere, while simultaneously eliminating the very trees that absorb CO2. Such wanton negligence deserves universal condemnation and the payment o

• Opinion: City of Edmonton's unhappy workplace threatens all of us

  26-01-2019 14:00 via edmontonjournal.com

• Keith Gerein: Polling suggests Jason Kenney's popularity is not keeping pace with his party

  26-01-2019 11:00 via edmontonjournal.com
  To call the United Conservative Party the “heavy” favourite heading into the upcoming provincial election is something of an understatement.
  The party has such an overwhelming lead in the polls that it is probably more accurate to characterize the UCP as the Stantec Tower favourite. Or the Milan Lucic favourite.
  Or pick a mountain in the Rockies and use that as a metaphor.
  You can get some idea of what I’m talking about by looking at the latest numbers, released earlier this we
