The Cons always get it the wrong way round. Cut back on spending when the economy is doing well and spend when it is not. They never learn

There’s too much short-term thinking. Does the UCP still think Edmonton and Calgary are small cities of 700,000 people?

Yes they do. And both cities, especially Cowtown, prove her right every.single.time.

I'm not sure if population is the best criteria to differentiate between big and small. Some big cities feel smaller and some small cities feel bigger. Although I do feel the UPC thinking small.
Also, I feel both Edmonton and Calgary are at an awkward size where a lot of the growth is still in the suburban areas and not as much in the cores. Like Vancouver or Toronto in the 1970's.

I realize our Premier is not easily embarrassed even when she should be, but this must be more than a tad embarrassing
Albertans can get a free COVID-19 shot in B.C.

Her government is an embarrassment to mankind

She probably thinks it's great because someone else pays the cost and she doesn't have to address the issue now.

Her lame excuse is they ordered twice as much as was needed and wasted a lot of money. So dumb ass why not just order half as much.

The waste problem was probably compounded by the fact that they sent it to virtually every pharmacy in the province as well. Cut the order by three quarters and only make the vaccine available at select locations throughout the province (10-15 locations each in Calgary/Edm and 1-2 places in the smaller cities etc.) and you’ve dealt with your waste problem.

Vaccinations should really only be a public program.

Hey Smitty, look what your fellow MAGA lover in Texas is doing? He’s building as opposed to your backwards thinking of saving and gee whiz - “@we can’t afford anything right now cause of the Liberals…..”

$146 Billion for "Congestion relief projects" in Texas - that's funny. A few more lanes will do it - until it doesn't. Seriously, when is enough enough of that madness.
Dreeshen's comment - probably too many bike lanes in Houston slowing things up.

Sooo…
If I rented the band stand shell on the legislative grounds for a Pride Concert or an AISH recipients support group rally or an MMIWG vigil, would I also get midnight access to the Legislature Building for a sing-along???
