We found that influencers now drive over 1/2 of political content and nearly 2/3 of all online engagement in Canada. They're not just lifestyle or entertainment figures anymore, with many actively shaping public debate, framing key political events, and mobilizing audiences.
Alberta's plan to vastly expand silica exploration and mining has environmentalists worried. We've got the details in our latest. zurl.co/cjTQT #Alberta #environment #mining
“Smith has been kind of cute about dangling that possibility of separation and then backing away from it. And you know, this really does just confirm that it's a negotiating tactic, not a plan,” Smith is just playing the separatists. Lol! #abpoli theijf.org/alberta-is-fli…
Danielle Smith has repeatedly invoked the idea of Alberta independence, but documents show it is not an economic scenario the province is seriously considering.. zurl.co/ATsA2 #abpoli #Alberta
New from me: a man who sold an assault rifle to an undercover police officer investigating his ties to an Edmonton-area right wing extremist group has been sentenced to 4-1/2 years in prison edmontonjournal.com/news/crime/alb…
Largest study of its kind shows AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time bbc.com/mediacentre/20… via @BBC The AI failings "are systemic, cross-border, and multilingual, and we believe this endangers public trust."
Alberta’s Mature Asset Strategy has 21 recommendations. Energy Dept. Chief of Staff @Vitormarciano told us at Warburg that only certain recommendations were accepted but the Premier mandated on Oct. 2 that the entire strategy be implemented. How do we trust what we’re told?
CBC's Fifth Estate just released its investigation into millions of dollars in Canadian tax-deductible charitable donations being used to subsidize the Israeli army and illegal settlements. This is why the issue should be of concern to everyone. 🧵 /1 youtube.com/watch?v=-4eOsV…

As Edmonton voters prepare to go to the polls Oct. 20, the Investigative Journalism Foundation analyzed financial disclosures and corporate records to see if all campaign donors are following the rules. Read what we found in our story. zurl.co/pzelL #abpoli

What happens when a celebrated scientist is accused of fabricating results to promote his patented product? We’ve obtained a leaked investigation report into misconduct at UBC, and we’re making the findings public for the first time. theijf.org/ubc-misconduct #bcpoli #science #CBC
NEW: I collected data on all campaign contributions made to Edmonton council candidates, coded each donation for donor type, and put this all in searchable tables. Want to know who is funding your future mayor and council? Explore the data here: theijf.org/search-edmonto…
The IJF has pulled all contribution data from Edmonton council candidates' financial disclosures into a searchable database. Find contributors, filter for corporate donors and explore the data before you vote on Oct. 20. zurl.co/rlCHA #abpoli
From the time the IPT began operations in January until Aug. 8, the unit had made two arrests for illegal border crossing and five arrests for trafficking in a controlled substance. Of these seven arrests, four occurred within the two-kilometre border zone.
It was touted as the answer to what Premier Danielle Smith called the "leaky" U.S. border, but how effective has Alberta's new border patrol been? Here’s what we found about the number of arrests this $29 million team has made so far. zurl.co/K8YCO #abpoli #border

Alberta is stepping in to kill Canmore’s “vacancy tax” after developers lobbied the government to intervene. This is the third example we found where the building industry association petitioned the province to override municipal affordable housing policies. theijf.org/alberta-set-to… #abpoli #housing
FYI, this new thing -- Trending Politics -- appears to be tied to Jeff Ballingall's Mobilize Media Group. Ballingall was hired as Poilievre's new "image" guy in May and founded Canada Proud. Trending Politics' editor worked for Pierre Poilievre's office as a "correspondence assistant" up until July. Something to be aware of, since it seems to be attempting to brand itself as non-partisan.
NEW: Conservative leader @PierrePoilievre tells the @cantbcensored podcast what he would have done differently as PM.
