Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

The AB govt announced a change to child care. Under the current system, parents pay out-of-pocket based on hours & type of childcare. Parents also receive a subsidy that is income-tested. The change eliminates the subsidy and standardizes the out-of-pocket amount www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?...

“Egg prices surge as US inflation jumps to 2.9%” The U.S. has far higher inflation than Canada. It must be their carbon ta…. wait a minute.

BBC headline:

Egg prices surge as US inflation picks up.

A jump in energy and food prices hit the US last month, as progress stabilising prices remained elusive.

On average, prices in December were up 2.9% compared with a year earlier, up from 2.7% in November, the Labor Department said.

The UCP’s plan for car insurance is for Albertans to pay EVEN MORE than we already do, while also denying drivers full compensation for injuries. This is a recipe for another UCP disaster. And Albertans are paying the price.

The Tariff Act of 1930 was designed for protectionist trade. It imposed high tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries. Why am I telling you this? In case you're ever asked "what were the key contributors to the Great Depression?" The mo' you know
