I'm here! Dedicated to saving Alberta's pristine mountains. #CanadaSky. #YYC-based, for now... Dejected historian, wannabe political pundit, enduring feminist who is pressing on... Can't be tamed.

THEY (UCP) are using OUR tax money (it says "Paid for by the Government of Alberta right there) to lobby us to vote their way in a referendum THEY called that was NOT part of their political platform for election. Think about that fro a minute. And then get angry.

Tombe also said that 175,000 workers would leave, but so many more 65+ people would also leave to preserve OAS and CPP benefits. Real estate would collapse. Retail would collapse. Restaurants would collapse.

Is Poilievre's strategy to try and wait out an extremely competent PM's time in office and then -- fingers crossed --- another Trudeau-type leader takes over? Cuz that's what it seems it is.

A cautionary tale from your next-door neighbour: Do NOT vote for any kind of Conservative!!! Especially a Conservative party in chaos. Just look where we are. Voting to stay in Canada.

The difference being, we can take a joke. And we know this is no joke. You have no idea the damage he has done. The US is no longer considered a reliable ally by the vast majority of Canadians. That won't change after he goes. You voted him in twice.

Workers: See that spike in 2020? That's when corporations realized they needed you. You don't need another pandemic to remind them. A strike. It's called a strike.

Well, I'm off to bed. Carlos Delgado did not call me telling me I won the Blue Jays 50-50. I'll have to try and work tomorrow. (Just fyi, I'd already spent/given away that money many times today...)

Kinda how we're seeing things up here. We're boycotting US-made products and it's making a difference down there. You just have to be disciplined.

So glad I saw Facebook for what it was decades ago and never signed up. They better not use my image, as I never agreed to the terms by never signing up. They do, and they're sued.
