This may be a rabbit hole because I do not care about her, but: why is there not more effort or conversation about selling Canadian oil to eastern Canadian provinces? Why are they still importing foreign oil? Is that not a nation building exercise? Again this is just for information.

“This is what makes today’s tech oligarchs such a unique threat… not only that they have aligned themselves with such a malignant force as Donald Trump, but that they are themselves so utterly detached from reality.” #oligarchs #politics www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Opinion: The tech oligarchy poses a unique threat to democracy

Today’s uber-rich have converted their obscene wealth into outsize power, wielded in the name of bizarre millenarian ideologies

WOW!

Alberta just got another approved referendum petition!

And this one calls for the practice of funding private schools with public money to be put to an end!
