    New workspace. "Hot desk" concept. Not supposed to leave anything. No personal items or even our work materials. This is my tiny rebellion: a new light! Because I am on a deadline.

    Imagine that: misinformation (aka lies) from a MLA. Shocking. The leader sets the tone. Choose a leader with a proven history of dishonesty, and what can you expect?

    Just to remind and that Trudeau is following through on Conservative promises from 2015. Just like he followed through on your planned trade deals. And on your idea to price carbon, your EQ formula. Makes you look a little foolish when you whine about him.

    Racists keep assuring me that Alberta isn't racist, that they've never seen racism here. If you're not seeing or hearing it, maybe you're not paying serious attention to anyone except your own kind.

    Lets look at some Income double dippers! For those prudent fiscal warriors who 6 figure salaries aren't enough yet rail against minimum wage increases and basic income pilot projects: Erin O'Toole, Scott Reid, Ted Falk, and David Tilson.

    10/ I would ask the politicians and everyone else to stop pretending "for the kids" means anything when it comes to their behaviour. Ask how much it means when politicians say "for the kids" - she's been fighting to get them to mean it. End of rant. 💤

    9/ attempts to address climate change. So what's the point of saying "for the kids" when a politician with 5 of them doesn't accept that argument? Politicians who tell their kids it's important to tell the truth seem to have no compunction about lying in their job. So in 2019

    8/ not 20 or 30 years down the road. And that might mean working together NOW. Even if your job is to be in Opposition - that means holding the govt accountable, not blocking everything out of a mistaken idea that you have to. Think about it: Scheer has 5 kids, but works against

    7/ for all of us - in the now, not in the future. Stop using the kids as a cheap way to get people to agree with you or to feel guilty if they don't. It hasn't led to lasting action. Let's act on climate change because it's OUR world, OUR responsibility NOW. The problem is now,

    6/ politicians from embracing anti-kid policies. Similarly, not having kids doesn't stop people from caring about the future of the world. Look at what is needed NOW. Don't say "for the children" unless you mean to act on it. Even better, act because it's the right thing to do

    5/ say the needs of the kids come first, but it's not as easy to do. People rationalize that what is "good" for them is good for the children. (Unleash the outraged parents who will insist this isn't true - and for a minority, it isn't.) Having kids has not stopped some of our

    4/ that means we no longer treat it as a crisis NOW for US. It's in the future. So we drag our feet. Second, and this is uncomfortable, politicians are like everyone else: while they say the kids are the most precious resource, they still act out of self interest. It's easy to

    3/ more investment in the Heritage Trust Fund. Didn't inform many of their decisions. Why doesn't "for the kids" work? My guess is that it's twofold. First, it actually pushes the problems into the future. We start thinking "we have to fix this over the next 20-30 years," but

    2/ Watching the nominations in AB, where so many candidates announce how many children they have, as if that's a qualification. Having kids didn't stop the PCAA from screwing up Alberta Health. Didn't persuade them to fix problems with Child & Family Services. Didn't lead to

    1/ A wish for 2019: that politicians would stop saying "for our kids and grandkids." They trot out the kids when it's useful - but they're only a prop. If we'd bern thinking of "the kids" we'd have made different decisions on energy policy in the 1970s. ...

    And the ONLY reason it's 48% is because cancelled cap-and-trade, thus bringing on the carbon tax for 38% of the population. That's right: if Ford hadn't done that, a full 86% of Canadians would NOT be affected by the JT carbon tax this year.
