+ 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.
