AB ND Gov; 4 months in

[TOM4CWB]

Perfeco,

I truly hope Premier MsNotley will get back on track... and be true to her statements May 1.

If however Premier Notley takes orders from Ottawa/Quebec... it will be a sad state of affairs.

We need fair minded common sense approaches, which are needed to build our economy and province. We can hope this occurs.

I'm with you perfecho, a refreshing change after the complete corruption and incompetence of the previous administration.
So much of it is just bogus rhetoric anyway - redneck paranoia - "minimum wage up and increasing" - as if you could hire anyone for what the minimum wage was in AB anyway.
"farm workers allowed to unionize" - again big scary move - well not really given how the average Albertan thinks - how many would want to belong to a union? and if they did so what? isn't it a bit like free speech, the right to associate with who you want or practice the religion you choose?

Biggest problem with the NDP is how many billions they are going to waste on climate change? The other thing that needs to be dealt with is curbing public sector pensions and NDP will certainly not be up to doing that job.

Good book for all to read, especially if you're new to dealing with the NDP.

Yes Oliver. Twas a very enlightening read.

Will agree with that statement Tom.....
A heck of a good read is "the crash of 2016" Thom Hartmann
It certainly explained to me why some things just didn't feel right....businesses buying up others at such a pace, loss of middle class, Government choosing losers and winners with bailouts......

A quick overview of "Left Out", maybe shows why we should be changing parties regularly....but will look for the book.

I am still of the mind not to have political parties....you elect representatives solely on their merit and they then become the board to hire a CEO for your province or as PM....Do what is right for the country, not for your party! (And only small bonuses..)
But it ain't gonna happen.....

Farmaholic why risk it...next week they might come out with a warning of using Heat on Flax.

Few showers in Regina today...dampen the pavement and no dust on roads.

I'm just being an ass, again. It will get glyphosate in a little while. Need to wait a bit. Enough other "cleaning" up to do.

Good for you farma, just started yesterday, wheat dry, nearly 50bu/acre, grade unknown, today a 1/10" shwr just to see RR's get steamrolled again. Felt way better harvesting yesterday than sitting at home today watching the LOSERS!
