Canadian Politicians Paid More But Less Value |...

Canadian provincial politicians are making nearly double what U.S. state legislators earn—$115K vs. $58K—and 70% of them earn over $100K, compared to just 18% in the U.S. But higher pay doesn’t translate to better outcomes for taxpayers: Texas, where lawmakers earn just over $10K, is wealthier per capita than any Canadian province. The report also links high politician salaries with higher taxes, and highlights Alberta and B.C. as examples where high pay and high taxes haven’t delivered strong

Tensions simmer as U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent hints at an imminent deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz — Iran’s “last chance,” according to Trump — amid recent attacks on merchant ships and a sinking Indian vessel.

Calgary-Shaw is left without representation after former MLA Rebecca Schulz stepped down, triggering a by-election that must happen by November 26 to meet Alberta’s election rules.

An Edmonton couple is stranded in St. Lucia after WestJet’s strike forced a flight cancellation — and the airline’s solution?

Despite offering alternatives like Air Canada, WestJet stuck to its “48-hour rebooking” rule, ignoring the legal hurdle. Now, they’re facing lost wages, mounting costs, and a Sunday departure — while experts call the airline’s stance unreasonable and

German cockroaches are spreading faster than official stats suggest, with pest control experts reporting 25-30% more calls over the past 8 years—driven by imported goods, urban density, and shared infrastructure. While Alberta Health Services sees no spike in complaints, the bugs’ stealthy nature and ability to hitchhike in bags, appliances, and plumbing make them harder to track.

Suncor Energy’s Q2 earnings soared past forecasts, fueled by higher oil prices and stronger refining margins—thanks to Middle East tensions pushing Brent crude toward $100 a barrel and Canadian oil looking more stable. Their refineries hit record processing levels and ran at higher capacity, though upstream output dipped slightly due to planned Firebag maintenance.

2026/08/04

Calgary’s real estate market is splitting in two: detached homes and semi-detached properties are holding steady, while townhouses and apartments are crashing—with sales down 23% and 20% respectively, and prices falling nearly 8%. The culprit? Overwhelming supply, especially in apartments and condos, combined with fewer new residents moving into Alberta. New listings are also down, and it’ll take time for the excess inventory to clear before stability returns to the higher-density sector.
