Opinion: Stop downloading expenses onto Alberta's municipalities With all the rhetoric related to unity, tariffs and other multiple black swans that have occurred in society today, I want to assert the right of municipalities to exist, unfettered by the actions of the provincial government.

Lorne Gunter: Carney Liberals capitalize on older voters' fear of change, disruption With just two weeks to go before federal election day, this appears to have become a campaign between the past and the future. The Liberals represent the past. They appear likely to win because voters 55 and older will vote disproportionately for Mark Carney and his party.

Opinion: Public health under attack from misinformation, measles; Where is Alberta's top doctor? When U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. attended the Texas funeral of eight-year-old Daisy Hildebrand, Kennedy reportedly did not mention that the death could have been prevented. The formerly healthy child died of measles, a vaccine-preventable disease. The father said that Kennedy “ did not say that the vaccine was effective … I had supper with the guy … and he never said anything about that.” Nor, are there reports that Kennedy apologised for recommending that parents not vaccinate their children.

Opinion: Alberta should put a stop to municipal 'vacancy taxes' What happens when a municipal government decides that how you use your own property is grounds for financial punishment? In Canmore, a radical new tax policy threatens to transform property ownership from a well-earned right to a highly-regulated privilege — potentially driving some owners to sell, threatening investors and turning a once strong community spirit into a corrosive, adversarial relationship. Left unchecked, these actions risk fundamentally reshaping Alberta’s real estate landscape.
