No bread, no circuses

I think for Halloween I may put on a blue suit, a strand of pearls and a brown wig, and wander around saying “Well look,” in an authoritative but slightly pissy tone because that’s the scariest thing in Alberta right now.

Last week Alberta quislings were in Washington to further the break up of our nation. Meanwhile Danielle Smith is setting up a fight over a pipeline that no-one is trying to build.
