Alberta's finances for 2022/23 in one simple diagram.

Fun fact: oil and gas revenues now exceed all health and post-secondary education spending combined. #cdnecon #ableg

I’d sooner have my government pump all my taxes into fixing healthcare then giving bonuses to already rich oil execs and their shareholders.

We need to think of each other as true sisters and brothers, and to be concerned with each other’s welfare. Rather than working solely to acquire wealth, we need to do something meaningful, something seriously directed toward the welfare of humanity as a whole.

Good morning to everyone except whoever designs the algorithms for targeted social media marketing.

Last night I spent maybe 10 minutes looking at engagement rings online for the first time and now every ad in my feed is either for a jewelry store or prescription-free Cialis.

Shout out to everyone who is still doing their best and caring about others. The world sucks less thanks to you.

My cell phone bill in Scotland is less than $20 a month and I have 160GB of data at 5G speed, unlimited talk and text in the UK, use of my plan within the EU for $3 a day, and an Apple Music subscription. Telecommunications in Canada is robbery!

Before you believe Pierre Poilievre's narrative "I'm running for Prime Minister to give you back control of your life", ask yourself how much control you'll have over your life if you find yourself in a situation where you need to sell everything you've acquired over a lifetime..

If you think the carbon tax is sinking you, just you fucking wait till you get a hospital bill thanks to the conservative governments dismantling the health care system.

If you own a restaurant/cafe/bakery and have fgluten free options, you really need to add that to your website and Google Business Listing. Lots of us search for restaurants by using “Gluten Free (city name)”

Periodic reminder: there is no labor shortage. There is a shortage of jobs that treat workers with dignity and an excess of corporate greed.

Let’s actually support cancer patients.

That really shouldn’t be too much to ask of anyone trying to hold Alberta’s highest elected office. #ableg #abhealth

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

When you have a peaceful and tamed mind, life is more pleasant for your friends, spouse, parents, children, and acquaintances; your home is quiet, and all who live there enjoy an excellent sense of relaxation. Upon entering your house, others feel a sense of happiness.

If only there was a day to celebrate the cultural heritage of Alberta 🙃

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Of course, we are driven by self-interest, it's necessary to survive. But we need wise self-interest that is generous and co-operative, taking others' interests into account. Co-operation comes from friendship, friendship comes from trust, and trust comes from kind-heartedness

Devastating Auditor General Report that is focused on the UCP and former Finance Minister Travis Toews.

$4 Billion COVID spending in Alberta could not be accounted for, and the government can't account for what was achieved.

What the UCP calls fiscal competence?
