Danielle Smith doesn't want to turn off O&G so I figure I better do my damnedest to go net-zero myself and encourage those around me to do the same.
She might not have a plan but if the rest of us do our best to reduce O&G consumption, what's she gonna do? 🤷♂️
I think I'm going to draft up letters to her for every single day. She's going to get real sick of me. 😉

How are you feeling about Alberta's provincial election?
If you're one of these people who says you're going to leave Alberta because of the election results, where will you go?
I'm gutted and profoundly discouraged. I'm keeping an eye open at housing in BC but have also just started the process of getting solar panels installed so I guess probably sticking around for awhile.
@robsonfletcher can you really say they won 52.6% of the popular vote? If the popular vote is defined as actual voters, then yes. But in reality, it was more like 32% of eligible voters (based on actual UCP votes compare to all eligible voters).
@bcinfo @thetyee #DanielleSmith as well as other #libertarians and #conservatives have only a surface connection to #AynRand’s ideas, and #Rand rejected them both. https://disqus.com/home/discussion/thetyee/lsquoweirder_and_weirderrsquo_danielle_smithrsquos_new_example_for_canada/#comment-6197394421

Friends, I'm sad, disappointed in our province, and concerned for the next four years.
Let's talk about the good news:

Brace for Post-Election Chaos in Alberta, @thetyee
I don't have a lot of thoughts about the #ABElxn yet, I'm not ready to think that much about it.
Instead, I'm both excited and anxious for my first #BikePacking trip! Heading out from #yeg to #ElkIsland NP first thing in the morning, staying two nights at Oster Lake.
Will post a photo of my rig once I've got it all packed!
