I’m family friends with some core PC turned UCP insiders. They are not separatists, and swear that the premier isn’t either. I genuinely believe them, but think the fear of breaking the party apart is real. So they’re going to do the Brexit route and hope it fails.

I know not everyone is a coffee drinker, but I've always appreciated client gifts of branded coffee beans in the couple times I've received. People are often home more during xmas and drinking more coffee than they normally do at home.

Sounds like my MLA in Calgary-Lougheed. I do expect a number of my neighbours are happy with the job he does though.

I think this is it. Starve out the teachers, push more families to private, charter or homeschooling and destroy the will to fight.

Upon further research, Alberta day is Sept 1, as it became a province Sept 1 1905. This year it is observed Aug 31 because Labour Day falls on Sept 1.

Been a while since I read it, but I can think of at least three sex scenes in it. I don't remember them being terribly graphic but they're in there.

I think much of what we’re seeing stems from conservative anxiety of having a trans child. So anything they can do to ensure that child remains in the closet is good (in their mind).

I think you underestimate the conservative hold on rural Alberta. Calgary suburbs too. They could run a sack of potatoes in Calgary Lougheed and they’d get in.

I think the cultural piece is the point. To erode a cultural connection of Alberta as a part of Canada, with a goal of a future separation.

Alberta just started a $15/day childcare program, dropping to $10/day in 2026. Not sure what the difference is between this and the federal program, but my daycare fees just dropped substantially for April.

Calgary here. Daycare fee went down from $725/mo after affordability grant to $350/mo. No additional fees, daycare provides breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack. We don’t qualify for subsidy.
