UCP wasted...
$125 million on trying to switch to DynaLife lab services then reversing
$70M lost on Turkish Tylenol (now in storage, costs for disposal TBD)
$238M payouts for coal companies
$1.5B loss Keystone pipeline

And...92% of Albertans think that oil and gas companies should pay for well cleanup, unpaid municipal taxes, and unpaid land rents

How, in any stretch of the imagination, does anyone think this is this good governance???

Today was a very good day.

There are a lot of things I still struggle to accomplish, a lot of things I wish I could attempt and a lot of things I really miss doing.

But today is a good day as I reflect on the things I now can get done that seemed impossible not so long ago.

Living with chronic pain is a mercurial dance. Two steps forward, one step back.

Today I'm back in the pool. I'm back in the pool now stronger and with more ROM than 6 months ago. :)

"this is a manufactured crisis that could've been avoided years ago, but was used as a litmus test to see if they can sell off our public services, and then take away rights of groups of people in a single day. Lo and behold, they seem to have succeeded."

"If you think this only applies to teachers, then you haven't been paying attention. If allowed to stand, this government will use this precedent whenever they want to remove any rights you think you’re entitled to - if it suits their purpose. If the government thought what they were doing was legal, they wouldn’t need the notwithstanding clause. They KNOW this wouldn’t stand up to a court challenge and that an arbitrator would have given teachers more than government is offering."

Got our vaccines today. FLU and COVID. So very thankful.

From the ABMedicalAssoc today...
"IF only 5% of people who should be vaccinated are deterred by costs, booking difficulty, etc
AND considering COVID at a 15% infection rate
THEN the addition hospital costs alone will exceed $65 million.

The UCP math is not mathing...
