Well written and very informative.. And I'm guessing Mr. Lukaszuk already knows this but anyone who wonders why our main stream newspapers are not carrying this story what follows is a list of Alberta news outlets owned by PostMedia Network, a company HQ'd in New Jersey and operated by right-wingers who are friends of Donald J. Trump:

(Read the list and then ask yourself what chance would there be of Albertans, or Canadians, getting any news that was critical of Conservative politicians if Pierre Poilievre was elected and did as he has pledged to do and defunds the CBC????)
