Be cautious. She’s been known to tell you one thing but do/vote the opposite.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t we β€œleft” NOT authoritarian by definition?

Started at 12 when I had an Aussie teacher who turned us on to Dylan and other folk singers of the late 68s. Impact would have been from then until late 70s when being a mom became priority.

I’ve met her twice and emailed many times. The main theme of my emails has been pushing her to act with integrity but I think that’s impossible. She will say one thing, supposedly to reassure you, and then vote the opposite.

Call me surprised? No. She is so in over her head in that portfolio. She's only there because she's a UCP robot. Time for a recall.

Your post reminded me that I was going to do that today. My goodness, that is the most crazy-making process ever. I technically qualify for a free shot -- diabetic but borderline so we'll see -- but I'm ready to bash my head against a wall. I did get an appointment for November 21.

Maybe scratch the whole β€œpursuit of happiness” phrase. It carries with it an individuality that implies β€œregardless of others.”

Hoping to be there. Will add a second side to my sign. And a stick. Still laughing that it was shared.

Just a reminder, while Danielle Smith is doing license plate popularity contests our kids are in classrooms of 50+ students with 1 teacher and no aids.

I stand with the teachers union. This province leadership has it ass backwards.

I'm baffled by parents who still think their kids going to an American university is a good thing. Sports scholarship or not.

MAGA is alive in Alberta.The UCP, like the Heritage Foundation "plays on the fears of religious parents & soothes their anxieties with the promise of a free market.To preserve so-called family values, the project’s playbook calls for the dismantling of public education 1/2

50 years ago at age 18 I visited the US for the first time. I returned to Canada thinking I’d sure met some stupid people. You aren’t changing my mind!!!
