anniegirl1138: Carbon tax isn't hurting us here in Alberta. We get a hefty rebate. But auto insurance premiums are hurting us. The endless add on fees on our utility bills are hurting. No ER access hurts us. Overfull hospitals hurt us. What hurts us in Alberta is Danielle Smith's UCP.

DuaneBratt: This is a pretty damning statement. Cue the Section 35 court challenge. Premier Smith should read the original Federal Court's decisions on Northern Gateway and Trans Mountain pipeline.

FilmsByJames: Prizzi’s Honor (1985) - 4.0 / 10 A romantic drama about two assassins who fall in love then are hired to kill each other. Think ‘Mr & Mrs Smith’ but less polish, less action and less romance. It’s not that great. There’s also not enough of Anjelica Huston for my liking.

Wilfrid Scawen Blunt Poem
A Woman-s Sonnets: Ii
 by Wilfrid Scawen Blunt

Nay, dear one, ask me not to leave thee yet.
Let me a little longer hold thy hand.
Too soon it is to bid me to forget
The joys I was so late to understand.
The future holds but a blank face for me,
