Not sure which company would want to invest in a pipeline when there’s so much uncertainty with Alberta separatists. That’s on you, Albertans. If no one wants to invest in turmoil, remember this: You created the turmoil and can’t blame anyone else Your temper tantrums have consequences, Smith 😉

The new FOI request axe continues to swing at Queen's Park. This time, one from @allisonjones_cp to the minister of health has been chucked out. The request, which may have given a glimpse into potential hospital cuts, was delayed and then killed.

If you don’t want schools and fire stations and libraries and parks and other government services in your neighborhood then don’t complete the census. If you want a $500 fine don’t complete the census. If you don’t believe in good government and would rather be living pre 1801 then don’t complete…..

To all the folks complaining about the census. I had the long one and had just done a six month long once per month Labour Survey, also mandatory, so quit whining. Suck it up, at least you're not being sent to the front line of a war.

Having spent the majority of my life living in Alberta, I have never seen a Norway rat in person. There is a reason for that. It is the Alberta Rat Patrol, a program that has existed since the 1950s. While there are slip-ups, Alberta is considered Norway rat-free.

I continue to be flabbergasted that other (non-insane) governments aren't making similar changes. The Canadian government won't shut up about how important "digital sovereignty" is, and then it pours resources into posting everything to Twitter and Facebook.
