There were a few fires in town that have left a whole bunch of people homeless. It’s freezing outside, and all of the emergency shelters are full… People have to sleep in freezing temperatures.
Absolutely unacceptable.
No pop-up shelters? Seriously?!

Making art is a whole bunch of whittling. Even if it’s exact and quick, like some modern works, you have to whittle in your mind before you get to the final results.
Bad art is a lack of whittling.

First day of councelling…
I do not want to do this. I’ll try to make it entertaining for the both of us during this brief time. I don’t make enough money or have enough benefits to keep this going. Just give me some closure. I’m tired.

The more I look at all of the evidence, the more obvious it is that social anxiety is the culprit to my limitations.
But what am I going to do? I've gotta be around people to survive. Then I hate surviving for this constant sea of overwhelm.

I'd say abusing the Notwithstanding Clause is a clear act of unethical behaviour by a politician.
Albertans are using the UCP's recall legislation accurately.
