Similar to Alberta where we don't have a PST but have highest utilities, car insurance and some kind of "user fee" every time you turn around- and lowest funded public education in Canada. The populace is easy to trick with "low tax" rhetoric!

I think the HoC needs a big jar in the middle of the floor that a politician needs to put a twoonie into each time they say something false, misleading, or heckle pointlessly during sessions.

We’d wipe out the debt in one session.

This is the saddest- he was a community builder and inspired so much grace in social media during a difficult time.

My kids won't be happy- but every act of resistance matters - that's Amazon and all my streaming services gone- I have an amazing library.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

Policy decisions as important as this should not be based on how I feel? There should be a look at the evidence by people who have some education and training to evaluate such things- I can't possibly be an expert in that and my field. My feelings should be irrelevant!

How delightfully selective bodily autonomy applies to vaccines but not wombs. Apparently the Constitution protects your right to spread measles but not to choose motherhood. One can only admire such principled inconsistency. Freedom means infecting babies, tyranny means reproductive choice.

Hopefully the book ban in Alberta schools translates into increased business for book retailers and kids motivated to read to spite the government- silver linings.

This is the real consequence of a government that can't think past their first reaction.

The UCP's book ban was poorly thought out, written & executed with unintended consequences that are disastrous.

Everyone saw this coming but them.

Except not in Alberta - we only use "science" derived from ideology to guide public health

Really important that Canada loving Albertans make an effort to find one of locations where signatures are being collected - and make a plan to sign the petition.

If successful, this effort will seriously damage the UCP.

Find locations here - www.forever-canadian.ca/sign-the-pet...

Sadly true- feels hopeless at elections- the electorate truly only cares about the blue sign- and now it has been predictably hijacked by Smith and soon PP. Still- I sent a donation to Bonnie
