Living in a world where common sense is so rare that it is a superpower. Opinions are my own.

Alberta is an embarrassment. Shandro's response to the commission's ruling is not unexpected, but it underlines how desperately the UCP tries to push their narrative. 🤦‍♀️

Chu's shenanigans - both now and in the past - have resulted in loss of public trust and ability to represent his constituents in a meaningful fashion.
Will he have continued poor judgement, or will he finally do the honorable thing and step down?
An emoji says it all... 🤦‍♀️

'Freedom Convoy 2.0' being planned for February 2023
An organizer of the 'Freedom Convoy' says he's planning a reunion in Ottawa in February. James Bauder, the founder of Canada Unity, a group that called for an end to all vaccine mandates, posted on Facebook calling for a 'Freedom Convoy 2.0' Feb. 17 to 21 in Ottawa.
Privatization in health care 🤦‍♀️
Disaster for Alberta.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s plans for health care? Brace yourself for user fees, co-pays, privatization and sly de-listing - Alberta Politics
“Once people get used to the concept of paying out of pocket for more things themselves then we can change the conversation on health care.” — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith
National parks, not provincial parks. Gate fees only make up a quarter of what they cost. Passes work across the country. They are not Smoth's personal cash cow.
Wonder if Alberta would like to also pony up the shortfall. 🤦‍♀️
I don't have a great deal of faith in having a 911 operator triage health care needs. Ontario recently started shipping people across the province if they needed a long term bed. This fractured support systems and made life harder for patients.
