Justice Russell Brown, who was facing a judicial conduct review, is retiring from the Supreme Court of Canada.
The Canadian Judicial Council said it was informed Monday by Brown of his decision to retire, effective immediately.
The Council announced on March 7 that it was reviewing a complaint into the alleged conduct of Brown, stemming from events which took place while he attended a banquet in Arizona on January 28, 2023.

Alberta’s new Health Minister previously ran an anti-abortion activist group
LaGrange was one of 52 UCP candidates who received support from anti-abortion groups that sought to stack nomination meetings and install candidates who would be sympathetic to a social conservative policy agenda.

Smith triumphs but with thin majority and severe big-city weakness; Notley vows to stay on ,But Rachel Notley’s NDP gained 15 seats in the province and jumped from three ridings to 14 in Calgary.
As Notley said, she will lead the largest opposition in Alberta history.
This is huge..
Even Conservatives Say Not To Vote For Danielle Smith, Does This Influence You At All?
Take for example former Progressive Conservative MP Lee Richardson, a true blue conservative for decades. Before being elected as a Progressive Conservative MP he worked in Premier Peter Lougheed’s office. He was principal secretary to PC premier Alison Redford. But this year he organized a fundraiser for the NDP candidate in his constituency.

Jean Chretien at the Liberal convention. At the 29.43 mark he lists all the things Liberals have brought in since 1963. We get used to it all and I thought it was a good refresh our memory.
He has such a good sense of humour we enjoyed listening to it all.

Guess this means no more mail delivery in AB....what a bunch of idiots who don't think things through.
Alberta's government House leader is accusing federal officials of trespassing on private property, but the provincial justice department said there's no evidence of that occurring.
Schow outlined a bill coming in the spring legislature sitting to stop the perceived illegality.
