You’d think the execs at CBC would know the benefits tax payers expect is a better viewing experience (less ads) than private broadcasters. They took the easy way out by trying to leverage the Olympic advertising. They need to get more creative with generating funds.

Chances are excellent there are NO doctors triaging patients in overcrowded waiting rooms. If there was even one, they’d be shouting it from the roof tops and telling us how great they are.

Aren’t these documents evidence? If so, how can 1 M be discovered? Shouldn’t they be cataloged to begin with?

Four MoHs and things get worse. What are we paying for? Smith’s explanation will be that AHS (or whatever it’s refocussed name is) can’t be controlled. That’s a pretty pathetic excuse for a leader that’s been in place for over 2 years and that was going to have health care fixed in 60 days.

Another swing and a miss by the UCP. It’s distressing that their failures result in increased fatalities. Recall them all.

The UCP has a real problem saying what they mean. Now the legislation that they enacted isn’t being used correctly. They really need to get someone to check the logic of what they write.

Rachel, do you know if our charter right of free expression applies in any way to a non-Canadian? It seems like some people are suggesting our charter applies. While it might be respectful to offer “our” rights to visitors, I question if there’s any obligation.

It’s interesting that the UCP are considerably closer to AHS than is normally the case and they still don’t (supposedly) know what’s going on and have to back track.

Fortunately, PP going first didn’t matter. Carney gave a master class on prime ministerial leadership.

Do the American people not understand when Trump starts screwing with the legal system he is not planning to ever leave the presidency? He couldn’t with all those he has treated illegally. The people would want to get even. The longer he stays, the worse it will get.

Not only should politicians have obligations/responsibilities tied to their profession, but they should be held to a much higher standard. They are supposed to be our leaders, after all.

Regardless of where one stands on the question of the Prime Minister stepping aside, what a classy letter. This reflects what I believe Canada is. Speak up and state your case, but with respect and civility. What a class act!

While our health care is under resourced, Premier Smith is patrolling the south Alberta border. It’s all about priorities.

The number of people that are adequately trained to safely use firearms to protect their families is a fraction of those that think they should be able to. The term “friendly fire” comes to mind.

In the most difficult situations in life we are sometimes lucky enough to see love stronger than we could ever imagine. Most of us may see this a few times in our life, if we’re lucky, with close family. Yet these stories reflect the essence of life. There are so many learnings. Thk you for sharing.

I’ve got an idea. If you don’t like the title, don’t read the book. Also, if you don’t like the title, you can pretend you don’t poop, but you do (or should I say doo)!

I wonder if the UCP realize most of us exist as a result of sex. (I went with “most” to leave a little flexibility for the occasional immaculate conception.) Doesn’t that make it difficult to pretend sex isn’t “a thing”?

When things keep failing over and over, one has to start looking at what’s closest to the problems. The mirror may be one place to look. Excuses are wearing very thin.

The premier is the leader of the Province. When she aligns herself with critics of AHS she is shirking her accountability. She comes across as having all the answers, but blames everyone but herself when she doesn’t get results. She makes a lot of excuses for being ultimately accountable.

Why is the premier making potential deficits sound like a major crisis? The rise and fall of energy prices in AB is about as predictable as it gets. Effective financial management means planning for potential drops of energy prices. That also means not wasting funds when energy prices are higher.
