Danielle Smith’s Sovereignty Act is like trying to get away with amending the Constitution via a hastily-scrawled Post-it note, flimsily affixed while no one’s looking. Spare a thought for the poor Alberta reporters who have to explain that, on top of their normal work of attempting to make energy policy engaging.

And if 10 years is a long time in the life of a digital media company, how do we describe 20 for an indie magazine?

The Narwhal’s Drew Anderson co-hosts.
