Hi everyone. I wrote this on Sunday but it still holds true today after yet another Oilers win. There more to this NHL run that winning the Stanley Cup.

"Go Oilers" replaces "Have a nice day."
And I’m okay with that.

This is a spot-on message to be hammering in Alberta (especially since nobody else really is, to much extent). Eleanor isn't just fighting for Edmonton Centre, she's standing up for everyone here in Alberta. Vote Liberal in Edmonton Centre.
Transparency in healthcare is essential. As your MP for Edmonton Centre, I will ensure that every dollar spent is dedicated to directly serving the people, not private profits. #edmontoncentre

Glad to see a Liberal candidate in Alberta taking on this issue.
As a former pharmacist, I understand how vital it is for all Albertans to have access to the medications they need. It’s time for Danielle Smith to step up and sign the Liberal pharmacare agreement and leaving Albertans behind. #Pharmacareforalberta

I wanted to "float" an idea for leaders to ponder during this election campaign. Looking for something really really big? How about an idea to really dive into open.substack.com/pub/kimtryna...

A big idea, for a bold period in our time.

As I've said many times before ...The CBC needs to constantly adapt and change to serve Canadians, especially in the regions. But it's our public broadcaster, and it needs to stay Canadian. (plus they provide a ton of content)
What a gem the CBC is! Telling our stories. All the time. Everywhere. Poilievre promises to kill the CBC within 100 days and (plausibly) sell-off the radio and TV assets to Musk / Murdoch-type oligarchs? Let's #SavetheCBC & Vote strategically to stop the Cons from winning the next election. #Canada

I agree with the new CBC president, that Canadians need to have a national conversation about the role of our public broadcaster. That idea - is just Common Sense.

Attempts to administer this agency is a complete joke. The only time it had stability was during the NDP administration. Aside from that it's been a mess of come-and-go CEOs and mandates.What a shame. It needs to focus on healthcare delivery, and guiding its thousands of workers in Alberta.

The #CBC needs changes, but I think it has been making a good attempt to finally get back into communities to connect with the public. It's so critically important in this age of disinformation, bots, and very loud U.S. based news. I prefer my news to come from a Canadian perspective,and Canadians.
The Poilievre Conservatives are following Trump’s playbook. We must defend the #CBC.
We do 100% "still" need the CBC - and should think about how to expand its reach internationally especially to Americans.

We have a long-standing unspoken, unwritten practice in our neighbourhood to do with snow shoveling.The 1st one out clears the walks for those next door, and across the street and vice versa. It evens out over time. If only international trade was so civil.Written while watching it snow for 24 hrs.

I appreciate the temporary GST tax break, however I think the greater problem is the persistent high cost of produce.Some items have come down, but not everything.I get it -fruits and veg are imported & our dollar is low. But I feel consumers are still being gouged by big Grocers.Ouch.
