It’s Friday, the sun is shining. Seems like a good day for a giveaway. You know the drill, shout-out your favourite Edmonton restaurant by noon Saturday and I’ll draw a name for a $100 GC! Good luck everyone and I hope you have the best Friday!

Dearest Reasonably Reasonable Alberta Conservative Friends, I know some things. Like, KNOW some things. Like, qualified by Courts of Law to give expert testimony under oath. I always affirm rather than swear to give truthful testimony. I am not going to start by lying about what I do on Sundays. And believe it or not, I can go days without using curse words (fucking excruciating). On the daily, I will interact with people coming at me with their take on the Alberta electricity market, usually about renewables, typically after reading the Sun. If I was in court, I would testify that their understanding of the nature of an electric energy-only market versus an electric capacity or spinning reserve market was incorrect and would lead to wrong conclusions. But politics doesn’t operate in a Court of Law. It operates in the Court of Opinion, where another jury of my peers has convicted me (again) of being a Commie, libtard, chickenshit, freedom hater. (I am none of those things by the way. I have witnesses.) So why is this important? It’s because we are ELECTING people with the same incorrect, skewed and useless beliefs, with the same ear hole stuffed attitudes, and the same attitudes towards “experts”. People think there no way to get to “truth”. Of course there is. Courts and tribunals do it day in and day out. Find and weigh evidence. Apply principles of law. Give it all a good shaking and make a reasonable finding. But it’s damned expensive. Imagine if we valued the truth in politics that much, that we would pay judges and lawyers and clerks to determine what was correct, truthful and reasonable before anyone could talk about it, with the limits of what was known and unknown or unknowable clearly specified. It would be the end of politics as we know it. A political party has one purpose, to elect and re-elect a slate of candidates to gain or maintain power. The many voters who perpetuate bad understandings or untruths are infinitely more useful than we “so called experts” and so they run to lead the parade of idiots marching down the street. And we get really bad policy made by really dumb people for really stupid reasons. Like: It would be better if we teach kids about the climate change hoax. Vaccines are the real killers. Or good girls should just say no. You know, good Christian values. Deep in your flint-filled hearts, reasonably rational Conservatives, you have seen this coming and dreaded it. There is a line of social tolerance and compassion that is the norm in this province that has been crossed again and again during this last term. This TBA-influenced, Kenney-manifested, Smith-headed monster will tarnish your legacy forever, if you let it. Nothing good ever comes from avoiding the truth. You let Kenney lead you into a very dark place and avoided Lougheed’s warning. Don’t ever let the preachers back in.

@ChefPaulShufelt I agree that they have to get paid(I am one of them). When the price goes up it will still be a better deal than the super chains. The added bonus I know where it comes from how it was raised and how it’s life ended plus I am supporting a local family so the $$ stay in community

@bkumpula That price will be going up. I can promise you. If your farmer can hold the line count yourself lucky. They have to get paid too.

@ChefPaulShufelt I agree but not to store prices. We still buy our beef for $5/lb when we buy a whole or half an animal at a time. We order with friends. Same thing with lettuce, buy it growing locally in the Edmonton region instead of the imports. Cheaper, less rot, etc

@bkumpula Also a great choice, but I know a few farmers and they are having to move their prices up too. Grain prices and tough growing seasons have really taken a toll on them.

@drdagly I saw/listened to you the first time on tv during the pandemic and then started following you on here. Your impact goes further than you know/imagine. I have greatly appreciated your thoughts, perspectives and photos. You are a true gem for many of us.

When Twitter dies, I don’t think I will seek a refuge. My time here was to help out during the pandemic. My words and images were always free for the taking. When it goes I will redirect those energies into being true to who I am. Just on a smaller more person scale.

@ChefPaulShufelt If that’s all it took I clearly should have convinced you to go for a walk before the plants got heat stressed.

@ShayeGanam @ShayeGanam take a look at business property tax. Edmonton is highest in the region and businesses are making strategic moves now to get out of the city.

@takeETSalert what a failure! The lineup to get tickets to take the train at the coliseum is unreal. And we wonder why no one wants to take ets? I know we won’t be doing it again

I have heard from some outside of #yeg that are making the conscious effort to shop in #yeg because of the mask mandate. Are you making this choice? The opposite (shopping in places there is no mask mandate)?

You know how banks are all like "Omg we LOVE small business!!" but then are more like "Oooh sorry can't help you unless you jump through these 42763 hoops...". Are there any banks that *actually* make life even slightly less painful for entrepreneurs?

@staceyy_j Literally the only reason we are watching the results, cause the rest of the election was a waste of $600million

@MattDavid321 @CMOH_Alberta Often there are more inter generational families with elders living together, the living conditions are sometimes much poorer than the rest of the population, and there is limited ability for self isolation. Therefor my assumption is the risk is higher than general population
