It's the last weekend before Christmas, and I'll be darned if I'm going to spend it on this bird site raging about politics. One thread and I'm moving on to gingerbread and butter tarts and Christmas tunes. +
Alberta: your government made some very undemocratic moves this week to cater to their base.
They rammed through their Sovereignty legislation, limiting debate on it. They refused to consider bills put forward by the NDP that proposed improvements in health and affordability. +

We will act with integrity and build back trust that so many of you tell me is now gone.
We are a strong team of hardworking candidates with a broad range of expertise. We are ready to hit the ground running. +

If you're still unconvinced, I urge you to reach out. I'm happy to chat about what matters to you.
I may be busy trying not to burn the butter tarts, and the music will undoubtedly be loud, so please let it ring 😉
