Did you know? The Provincial government has increased their property taxes on Calgarians by 57% over four years, well above inflation and population growth. They're now imposing the largest property tax increase in Calgary's history with a 21% hike, or about $350 for the typical family.

The next election is critical. I fear that rural Albertans see these changes as progress. They're not. A government that cares about Alberta would never make these choices. These policies were debated, then deliberately approved.

Remember when people bitched that the NDP spent too much money? We got something for it though - Hospital and schools and a reduction in child poverty. The UCP dwarfs their spending, and all we get is bullshit panels, doomed litigation, anti-Canada propaganda and gifts to billionaires.

Great article about the nocebo effect. I see it frequently in my practice and I can often predict who will be intolerant of medication. There is usually an element of significant but unacknowleged anxiety. So, I listen, reassure, and offer alternatives when possible.

#ClassWar This is brilliant. To understand this makes us look at the World differently.
One of the most effective forms of propaganda has been to associate dictatorships with individual figureheads. This hides the fact that capitalism is not only a dictatorship of the rich, but it's also a brutal & intricate system of petty dictators who control every move we make.
