A quotation from Herbert Hoover

   The duty of public men in this Republic is to lead in standards of integrity — both in mind and money.
   Dishonor in public life has a double poison. When people are dishonorable in private business, they injure only those with whom they deal or their own chances in the next world. But when there is a lack of honor in Government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned.
   Some folks seem to think these are necessary evils in a free government. Or that it is smart politics. Those are deadly sleeping pills. No public man can be just a little crooked.

Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) American engineer, bureaucrat, US President (1929-33)
Speech (1951-08-30), “Concerning Honor in Public Life,” Iowa Centennial Celebration, Des Moines, Iowa (radio broadcast)

Albertans already face the highest car insurance rates in the country, and Danielle Smith's solution is to raise premiums by 15%. She isn't listening to the concerns of Albertans. On June 23, let’s send her a message she can’t ignore: Vote for Better. Vote for Alberta’s New Democrats.

A quotation from Thoreau

The effect of a good government is to make life more valuable, — of a bad one, to make it less valuable. We can afford that railroad, and all merely material stock, should lose some of its value, for that only compels us to live more simply and economically; but suppose that the value of life itself should be diminished!

If you can pray, then pray
If you can demonstrate, then do that
What ever you can do that is not against the law, just do it
But Tinubu must not continue in power, the hardship is much on the people.

I just found out that our brain dead, mental midget, group of con-artists and thieves that we call a provincial government in Alberta de-funded a ton of physiotherapy. Soon Alberta will look like a scene Victorian London as we hobble about crippled, looking like we have scurvy from this short sighted, dumb ass decision.
