NDP announces pilot project for rural buses, via @Edmontonsun. What’s wrong, not enough horses and buggies left? Buses!? Sask just got rid of its Sask Trans buses last year. Per rider subsidy nearly $100 per trip. Ridership off 77% since the ‘80s. Dumb. https://t.co/RcSNPHAfhh

Rachel Notley's approval up single point to 33 per cent: Angus Reid, via @Edmontonsun.
After all the tough talk about #TransMtn, Notley hasn’t even moved her approval above statistical variation. Guess no one’s buying @RachelNotley as a pipeline warrior. https://t.co/5IS0iHlNTE
