Putting a majority of caucus in cabinet is a caucus control strategy. Alison Redford also tried it in her final months as Premier. Far from representing a shift towards health care etc, this is an indication that Smith is struggling to retain control and prevent more defections.

Now the picture is much clearer as to why the US was feigning a "breakup" with Netanyahu. The goal was to reach an agreement with all the countries of the Middle East, in order to cement Israel's security while teasing the final blow of completely wiping the Palestinians off the face of the earth.

Again.
For the crowd at the back.
Pay close attention to what is happening.
Problems are starting.
It won’t end until this gvmt stops entertaining and flirting with the idea.
This is one of the firsts we are hearing about.

A prediction:
In 30 to 40 years time we will see an explosion in cases of Alzheimers and the broader issues of dementia.
Why?
I recall a time when you would get on a plane, train or bus and people were reading books, magazines and newspapers. They would also engage in conversation with each other.
Now people are fixated on their phones. Only they don't properly engage with anything on that device. They are constantly and frantically scrolling at 500mph looking for stimulation and not engaging their brains meaningfully.
So after decades of doing this they will suffer cognitive decline leading to an epidemic of Alzheimers and dementia.
You can guarantee it is coming.

Agreed. I support the CBC, but in the past it has been hard to watch the likes of Don Cherry, Rex Murphy et al get a platform at my expense. Nor can I reconcile public funding to hear from the likes of Andrew Coyne or Rosemary Barton. Give me Ian Hanomansing and straight news.
A politician (or their staff) cursing the media, is like a sea captain cursing the sea.
You ignorant paper weight of a publication. The problem is the feds trying to regulate a provincial industry through the back door of federal environmental legislation by labeling plastic as toxic. The plastic straw ban is simply one of hundreds of negative implications for the province stemming from that stunt.
Imagine being so dim as a journalist not to reach out to someone in Alberta to understand this…
This area has given strong support to David Parker’s Take Back Alberta. Parker lead the move to dump Kenney and is now promoting Alberta separatism. As the local MP, Pollievre will be vulnerable to separatist mischief in his riding. It could be a fatal…./3

"So, I want to thank you, Danielle Smith. Why? Because today we stand united, we're not going anywhere... if you have problems with first nations, you can leave."
Piikani First Nation Chief Troy Knowlton does not mince words on Bill 54 and a lack of Indigenous consulation.

People are talking about his Pope trolling and Alcatraz, rather than the billion dollar corruption scheme.
