@ryangerritsen For prices to fall you would have to have negative inflation. Inflation at 2% isn't going to lower prices, just slowing the bleeding.

Beautiful day in @cityofcalgary to enjoy a nice cup of @TimHortons

@mrsunshinebaby The NDP is done. Completely irrelevant and out of touch with reality.

Here's a piece of literature by me, suitable for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools, unlike -- we are told -- The Handmaid's Tale. (Sorry, kids; your Minister of Education thinks you are stupid babies.)

John and Mary were both very, very good children. They never picked their noses or had bowel movements or zits. They grew up and married each other, and produced five perfect children without ever having sex. Although they claimed to be Christian, they paid no attention to what Jesus actually said about the poor and the Good Samaritan and forgiving your enemies and such; instead, they practised selfish rapacious capitalism, because they worshipped Ayn Rand. (Though they ignored the scene in The Fountainhead where “welcomed rape” is advocated, because who wants to dwell, and also that would have involved sex and would de facto be pornographic. Well, it kind of is, eh?) Oh, and they never died, because who wants to dwell on, you know, death and corpses and yuk? So they lived happily ever after. But while they were doing that The Handmaid’s Tale came true and Danielle Smith found herself with a nice new blue dress but no job. The end.

I’ve often criticized @MarkJCarney, but I appreciate the respect he’s shown toward @PierrePoilievre here. I hope that when Parliament resumes, both he and Pierre Poilievre engage with the same level of respect for one another.

Our country needs less polarization and more constructive dialogue.

I’m from Donbas.
I remember Ukrainian songs in school.
I remember books, not bunkers.

Don’t tell me we were “always russian.”
I was there.
We lived.
Then russians invaded.

@JasminLaine_ If you think that's how it works then you probably don't deserve the raise.

Sadly many people believe this nonsense.

Did everyone at CRA get fired or laid off??? No one can get through. Not my accountant. Not me. Not my friends at KPMG. This is a disaster. They used to be so good on the phone. They even had a callback feature . I am missing some very important mail! A cheque! @MarkJCarney

[TL @speedernet]

@sarbjitkaur1 @MarkJCarney It's an absolute joke. You are lucky if you call and get into the queue, and are then faced with being on hold for hours.

@KirkLubimov This is unreal. Maybe he should outlaw cigarettes, lighters, and gasoline while he is at it.

[TL @speedernet]

@Tablesalt13 Utterly ridiculous.

A fire ban sure, banning motorbikes sure as they can spark fires. Hiking though ...?

Crown land belongs to the people not the politicians!

@mario4thenorth If they were serious about their EV mandate they would allow free market and people might actually jump on the move to an EV if there was a low cost option. Either way they should allow them to be sold here with a reasonable 25% duty. We are catering to the US agenda not our own

@ryangerritsen It's called Musqueamview St for postal records, etc so that's what needs to registered. It's really not that hard to figure out.

@PLawrenceCAN Justin "the budget will balance itself".

Carney we just won't bother with a budget. I thought this guy was a banker?

Same clown show, new ring leader.

@MelissaLMRogers It amounts to $800/family which barely covers groceries for a family of 4 for two weeks. @CPC would have seen a $1300 benefit. Still peanuts out of the massive amount of tax taken.
