I’d not thought of this. Maybe a person should sell now. Get out while there’s still a chance of at least coming out even.

@covidsociety.ca is there any chance someone in the society has already figured out the details for an Albertan hoping to get a Nuvaxovid shot this year?

I’ve been trying to figure out how best to access #Nuvaxovid (Novavax) vaccine this year as an Edmontonian. Apparently it’s not going to community pharmacies in BC and BC public health won’t take Albertans. SK’s plans are as yet unclear. I guess I have to make some phone calls. #ABHealth #covid

This is incredibly, almost impossibly funny, given that the oil and gas industry in Alberta -- the one Kenney has always bent over backwards to serve -- has the *exact same* blind spot and lack of intellectual curiosity (and the same stunned response to arguments and facts they've never considered).

One of the wildest climate charts I know of: Canada's 'managed' boreal forest areas used to sequester over 100 Mt CO2 each year (net) from stand regeneration following wildfires, but in the last couple years these have tipped into 'positive' net emissions from decaying soil organic matter.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's response to the massive leak of Albertan's personal information has been grossly insufficient, experts say. Alberta voter list leak is a potential public safety disaster: enforcement experts | Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/1182824...

Even as public safety and privacy experts issue dire warnings, and the opposition point the finger of blame at the UCP’s shortsighted structuring of the Elections Act, Smith, who is on a trade mission in the United Kingdom, said that her government is aware of the potential breach and that those responsible must be held accountable.

Lennox, the former RCMP intelligence manager, said Smith’s response was totally inadequate.

“The minute it became known, the premier should have been on TV or on radio assuring Albertans that the data leak will be traced to the ends of the earth,” he said.

“She should have said that searchable databases of their information will be taken down instantly, and any copies of that data will be hunted down with every ounce of their powers and resources.”

It’s easy to get pulled in by misanthropic moaning à la Marvin the Paranoid Android. I think there’s more to things than looking at the downside. Michael Pollan’s “panoptic exploration of consciousness” and the Wissner-Gross/Diamandis proposal on “solving everything” is where we should focus.

Marvin the Paranoid Android quotations such as “I have calculated your chance of survival, but I don’t think you’ll like it.”
