And please don't use your power of googling things to find ol' Demetrios' number, ok? If you see a page that says "Minister of Education, Honourable Demetrios Nicolaides (780) 427-5010" well you just ignore it. #ABPoli

Yes, it's true that phoning the Premier's office gets you a generic "thank you" message and then a sudden disconnection, but to be fair that's exactly what it's like trying to talk to her face to face, so quitcher complainin'

Please stop dropping your kids off at the Constituency Office. There is "nothing" we could do to prevent this strike. -JvK

Listen, we can invest hundreds of millions in not having a pipeline, or we can invest hundreds of millions in having teachers.
It comes down to whether like our investments in the future fictional or real, ok?

We will rabidly oppose policy that could change your mind whether automobiles are status symbols that confirm that you are Winning At Life.
You are Winning. That smug s*mb*tch on the bicycle, only _looks_ happy, prosperous and fit.
Rest assured, they're envying you, you magnificent auto-driver, you.

And anyone who tells you that there might be an alternative to driving in a personal automobile to every conceivable errand is crazy, anti-Alberta, evil, probably named Michael or David, And should in no way be taken as credible.
Are bikes and buses even real? No one knows.
