Unless I missed it somewhere, I don't see any details about the Alberta Next survey methodology. This leaves me with a lot of questions.

WTF is wrong with these people?? Reason number 66,435,873 why I have to walk away from social media for a day or two b/c the shenanigans never end. Why would anyone want to take a pic/selfie under the tent where Charlie was unalived?? I thought it was one of those AI jokes. #SheShed #Pinks
