I am a retired web developer with an interest in political and environmental issues in Canada, but with a focus on Alberta, since this is where I live. I have an interest in music, Linux, and play guitar and piano a little bit. Sometimes I try my hand at cooking. My kids are all grown up, and I have three grand-children.

The ideal apology is one that acknowledges the mistake, expresses remorse and makes amends.

There's not much love in the literature for the conditional "if" apology, the sort of one Premier Danielle Smith delivered a day after saying the provincial government gets "treated the exact same way from Ottawa" as First Nations do.
