Carney and Smith are uniters! They have been able to get environmental activists and climate denying Alberta separatists to unite in their opposition to the MOU.

Can someone check in with the local columnist class in Edmonton to make sure they're okay after this?

I’m the first to voice frustrations with Baby Boomers but they are teaching us skills many of us need to learn, IMO:

* they meet for lunch, coffee, and other IRL things on top of posts in the group chat;

* they call each other and know what’s going on with one another;

* they often volunteer

Must confess to feeling conflicted seeing the Stollery Foundation seeking to raise $1 billion to build a new hospital.

I would give every dollar I could to the Stollery, that's how great the place is. But this is a hospital the public clearly needs.

These arguments are as old as time and fall apart if one applies them elsewhere. Many European nations and peoples weren't where they were 15,000 years ago, either, so does that mean I should potentially feel free to relocate to Europe and claim land?
