YYC. Left leaning. Retired therapist. She/her. Mostly looking for news and politics. Known to quote Dr. John Gottman's 5 point criteria for trustworthiness. (Why date, work for, or even vote for, someone who doesn't pass?)

We must be the same age as I have the exact same memory.

I’m wondering if my MLA who is also Minister for Indigenous Relations has signed the referendum petition. She has refused to say she respects the treaties and thus is not a separatist leaving us free to speculate.

Sometimes these work. I'm a retired therapist and many years ago I had a client find her brother this way. One good news story in a career that was mostly listening to heartache.

Living in Calgary, my response to this is β€œgood.” I wish for an ad campaign that says don’t move to Calgary. We don’t have the infrastructure to keep sprawling β€”particularly water. Schools are too full to add your children. You won’t likely find a doctor and if you need a specialist, good luck.

Our condo management did nothing to remind residents of the water restrictions until yesterday. Only after I put a sign in the elevator β€” which disappeared quickly so I assume a manger took it down. At the end of the day we got an email with a link which most will ignore.

The Case for Sticking Around - Alberta Views Let’s not quit Canada. Let’s make it better for everyoneβ€”including Albertans

Why should Alberta stay in Canada? The reasons aren’t just economic or legal. I hope you will read and share my robust rebuttal to those trying to break up our country. And I hope you’ll respond. #cdnpoli #Alberta #ableg #abpoli #Canada #SenateofCanada

They did a poor job of getting this info out. It was NYE and people weren’t β€œon it.” I usually am on it and I didn’t know until today. Usage will drop.

Spent the afternoon β€” which was sunny but still coldβ€” with two others gathering signatures. Hardly militants… we were a retired old gal(me), a nurse, and a business owner.

Danielle Smith is "Ungoverning" Alberta And trying to break the very idea of Canada

If you read nothing else I write, read this.

Canadians outside Alberta, pay particular attention. If Smith succeeds, she will infect other provinces with "ungoverning."

Albertan here… less than amazing. Far, far less than amazing. In fact, most of us can’t think of one thing this government hasn’t screwed up.

I got that washer and dryer in my divorce settlement and moved. Years later the dryer needed repair. The repairman was baffled why the lint trap had been neatly repaired with a piece of screen so I told him this story. The mouse got in through the too-low outside vent, chewed through the lint trap.

I lived on a farm, in an old house. I once opened my dryer to see a mouse running round and round. I shut the door and grabbed the nearest outside cat and tossed her in the dryer. Closed the door and waited. She knew the assignment.

They called it β€œchoice”
We call it a $1.2 billion education siphon.

Alberta’s public schools: fewer teachers, more trailers, and lobbyists everywhere.
