It sure would be nice if the Premier of Alberta would call out this treasonous behaviour by one of her own party members for what it is.

I am gritting my teeth, listening to some feel-good radio piece about a ‘grandma advice stand’ in New York and Texas. I’d never really noticed how much US subjects appear on CBC, but ever since ‘elbows up’ it really stands out,. Wow, do we ever get fed a lot of US culture.

Just at local Rona hardware store, and bought a fistful of Purdy’s paintbrushes for $2 each. Normally $23-38, they proudly declare ‘made in USA’. According to sales guy, no one is buying them at anywhere near regular price. Feel bad for retailer, but market for US goods appears iffy

I am similarly driven up the wall by the credulous coverage and framing around pipelines.
Whenever a politician says, “we are going to build a pipeline,” or a journo says, “do you support building a pipeline,” the answer has to be, “WHO IS WE?!?!?”

The pipeline discourse may eventually drive me insane. Not because I think it should be verboten, but because of its weird disconnect with reality.
