I’m at the halfway mark. $300 to go. Thanks to all who shared and to the donors. I missed way too much work on doctors’ orders and I’m behind now.

An article worth reading. “This separatist movement is a guerrilla faction of the global far right which is attacking open societies across the world.” I could not agree more.

Turned on the hockey to find a bully behind the bench and a rapist on the first line. Cheered up when I noticed most of the crowd wearing orange shirts, only to learn that they are construction vests to celebrate 10 years since Rogers Place was built. Of course, 1st intermission sponsored by Wegovy.

Disappointed, but not at all surprised, to receive an official Alberta Government pamphlet in the mail titled "Stand up for a stronger Alberta; Your guide to the 2026 referendum", in which the UCP cry about how unfair everything is and push every single viewpoint of the racist separatists. Pathetic.

As I watch the aggressiveness of drivers in Alberta continue to increase, I am now firmly of the belief that far more widespread use should be made of licence suspensions. People don't care about fines. Drive aggressively or inconsiderately? You're not driving anywhere for 2 weeks. That will work.

We pay enough taxes to ensure that when we call an ambulance, it arrives within 15 minutes. But instead of funding healthcare and EMS properly, Smith is using our taxes to line her own pockets and those of her already-rich grifter pals. People are dying unnecessarily as a result. Get the UCP out.

The 40% are never going to change how they vote. More importantly they are never going to apply critical thinking to how they should vote. Democracy only works when the vast majority of voters are capable of critical thought and considering evidence. In AB, and the US, this is probably not the case.
