@splorp @tantramar I fired up the fireplace when I got up this morning here in #yql. Well into second day of this rain, and I’m tired of it. I hope the farmers are happy now.

Fun fact: #Alberta did not require #DriversLicenses until some years' later.

IIRC we already had ~30,000 #MotorVehicles by the time we got around to licensing private vehicle owners. Biggest concern to push for licensing was safety: too many people dying by colliding with #trains at uncontrolled crossings.

No actual drivers' #education required, though, so I'm still unclear as how this was to help out. 😬 Alas no #Hansard here prior to #Lougheed so old #news clippings are all we really have. ☹️

Licenses only required for commerial use/professional drivers.

Costco in #yql is still selling gas at 149.9, while the Shell, PetroCan and Gas King are at 176.

I always thought all the houses with flags on them were weird in the states. Recently I see a fair number of new flags in #yql of either the provincial Alberta or Canadian. Never both together.

I will ass-u-me that these are separatists and non-separatists respectively. Sad that it's come to this Yankee Doodle Dandy style of virtue signalling.

Also some idjits at the camper sewer dump site waving big Alberta flags at the cars on Mayor Magrath (major road here) today. Maybe they crawled other of the sewer.
