QUOTES
+ referring to her brother Charles in advance of his coronation, “"Well, you know what you're getting because he's been practising for a bit, and I don't think he'll change," – Princess Anne … indeed!
+ We learn nothing by being right. – Elizabeth Bibesco
+ a deal has been struck – the federal government strike by 150,000 workers is looking like it is near an end, sort of; the deal is ‘tentative’, so it needs to be approved, and it doesn’t cover everyone – because the folks at Canada Revenue Agency are not part of the ‘tentative’ deal; Canadians are without the services of these employees who, so far as we understand, haven’t missed a paycheque yet – so when the unions complain they can’t get a fair deal, it strikes me as really unfair to this taxpayer; tell me your thoughts, but these employees deserve a contract, but they walk of the job, claim they want a contract because they haven’t had one in two years (weren’t we all gridlocked during the pandemic – and they never missed a paycheque then either);CRA and union resumed talks – so this week will see more light shed on this … tik tok …
+ Alberta Election – the starting gun, the Writs have been issued; the election call date was the worst kept secret, and all parties have been campaigning and nominating candidates since the day Danielle Smith won leadership of the UCP last November; but Smith and NDP leader Rachel Notley did campaign launch speeches in Calgary. All experts and mainstream media folk are predicting a very close election; if you want information, to confirm you are on a voters list, or to register to vote (forms were sent out recently based on old lists – there is no face-to-face enumeration) by visiting the Elections Alberta Website
