There comes a time when you have to fish or cut bait. Most people choose to cut bait.

I know of more than a few people who would rather buy from dispensaries on the reserves than from the NSLC - higher quality, more selection, and better prices. They're trying to distract from their failure to make life here more affordable.

Is he doing that or is he giving Alberta enough rope to hang itself? With the trend towards renewables, Alberta's going to find itself on the wrong side of history with the "drill baby drill" mindset. And they only seem to learn the hard way.

I’ve still got “Sun City” from Artists United Against Apartheid on vinyl. Ripped it to MP3 so I can listen to it on my iPhone.

I’ve been saying for a while - if employers treated everyone fairly, we wouldn’t need unions.
But they don’t.
So we do.

You guys need to do what we do in Canada - hand the drawing of constituencies over to a non-partisan body. However, because everything in the US seems to be political in nature, this might be impossible.
