If bitumen transport has to be nationalized, then let’s have a debate about equity stake, revenue sharing and royalty rate at source. If we are finally admitting this resource belongs to the public in the first instance, as Lougheed often reminded us, then let’s be honest about it.

The Premier says we have the lowest living standards. Perhaps enforcing clean-up by the oil companies is a good step to improving standards.

We have the lowest living standards but 52% of Albertans would vote for the UCP. Maybe Albertans are basically satisfied?

Hearing rumours that the Calgary Stampede may have to close early because too few Albertans have $80,000 Ford F-150 Lariat pick-up trucks to drive to the midway for Lobster Tornado Rolls.

It is incredibly frustrating that there is no leadership at any level of government--year after year! This photo was downtown Edmonton June 9, 2019 with lights needed during the day. Jasper, Fort McMurray, Waterton, Slave Lake: from B.C. through to New Brunswick--our standard of living has dropped.

Dave, do a road-trip. Listen to people in coffee shops in Edson, Legal, Morinville, Viking, Vulcan, and Ponoka. You'd be amazed at what you hear....

We're receiving insights into who Albertans really are, their character, their values, and their attitudes.

Agreed. These panels are at best the same as the sports desks, and are frequently just shills for their parties.

We don't see many white tigers in Alberta. I blame mining development in the eastern slopes.

Perhaps instead of banning books we should encourage youth to read Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451”

Hmmm 🤔 But can you find Tommy Douglas’ “The Cream Separator”, or “Mouseland”?

I concur. I had a Pablo Picasso end-table once. It was never level, and I always felt like its eyes were following me around the room.

Volunteered at the Edmonton Food Bank today and was shocked at the overall demand and the increase over time. Alberta has a serious problem.
