Alberta's Provincial Priorities should be our kids Four days until Alberta teachers strike: the clock is ticking.

"... like it or not, this is Danielle Smith and the UCP’s problem. They told Albertans they wanted the job, they got the votes from Albertans to get the job, now Albertans are demanding they do their damned job."

This week’s delivery from Odd Bunch. Thought I’d try it for a bit and see if it’s worth it.

Watching the election results live reminds me how big Canada is. Maybe wake me up in a couple hours.

Voted. So as soon as it warms up, I’m buying a frosty as my reward.

Election day! Come on Canada! Remember the old rule: if you don’t vote, you can’t complain.
If there’s one thing we love to do it’s bitching about politics for the next four years. Or two. Or less. We decide today!

The French Language debate for the Canadian federal election that is scheduled for Wednesday has been moved up two hours so the Quebecois can watch a hockey game. Now that is an example of being Canadian.

I’m a true lefty but this is a two party election so, Scott, you’ll get my vote this time.

Yay, the election has been called! I wonder how many three word slogans little PP is going to come up with now?

At what point does Global Affairs Canada issue a travel warning to Canadians heading to the US?

Because I think we're thoroughly at the point at which this is necessary.

Just received a Canada First flyer from my local MP even though the election has not been called. Officially, at least. The only reply I have is β€œSorry, not sorry.”

So tomorrow we get a new Prime Minister. How nice. Now about that election? Really soon so little PP goes away.

AB runs the wholesale but not the retail. They can’t order stores to remove it. Oil and gas? They can but won’t.
