Temitope Oriola: Edmonton Police Commission's ban on public speakers goes too far The Edmonton Police Commission announced last month its decision to move meetings with the public online and ban public speakers for the remainder of 2026. The commission notes that “discourse surrounding the commission has moved far beyond legitimate criticism of the board, police governance or oversight. It has devolved into personal attacks, defamation, threats, and intimidation directed at commissioners, police service members, staff and other members of the public.”

Opinion: If separation succeeds, take note of what's in the plans for Alberta Grievances along with the costs, benefits and processes of a transition seem to have dominated the secession debate. But what sort of Alberta do secessionists want, and think that we want? Two Alberta Prosperity Project documents, The Value of Freedom and The Foundation of Freedom, provide possible hints. Both deserve full, careful reading. Here are some significant elements.

Opinion: Who pays for Alberta’s dual-practice health care? Alberta has moved toward a dual-practice health-care system where physicians can charge patients directly for faster access to care, while also providing care to patients funded by the public system. This is a first in Canada. Supporters claim this will expand choice and increase capacity. Opponents say dual practice undermines Canada’s core value that health care should be available based on need, not the ability to pay.
