Went to stupid Tuesday at Safeway this morning only to discover they have adopted self checkouts. I watched a lady stand there and try to buy her groceries for 20 minutes and load her bags that were sitting on the floor because there isn’t enough room to put them AND the system was glitchy even with the staff’s help. I wrote Safeway this morning to tell they I would be shopping at No Frills from now on because they are WAY cheaper and I expect bargain basement service from them for it. I have to bring bags or pay for them, load my own cart, scan my own groceries, only get the 10% off Tuesday bonus if I have a Scene card (which I don’t) so what’s the advantage of shopping at the most expensive store in town? They are getting less and less name brand and you have to contend with the crappy “Compliments” brand, it’s just garbage so FAREWELL Safeway after 45 years.

I didn’t choose this road — Ottawa paved it.
I didn’t wake up one day looking for a fight, and I didn’t land here because it’s the popular thing to say. I got here because I’m tired — not social-media tired, not election-cycle tired — Alberta tired. The kind you feel after watching the same movie play over and over while Ottawa tells you to sit down, be patient, and wait your turn. I’ve argued both sides of this over the years. I really believed we could fix things from inside Canada. But eventually you stop lying to yourself when the pattern never changes.
I hear the people who say we just need to keep pushing within Confederation. I used to be that guy. I figured if we voted harder, fought smarter, and kept showing up, someone back east would finally get it. But after watching policy after policy shaped in the East land on Alberta’s doorstep — rules written for places that don’t live like we live or work like we work — it stopped feeling like reform. It started ...

Insulting the U.S. men’s hockey team for accepting President Trump’s invitation to the White House and his State of the Union address is a new low for The Globe and Mail. Comparing our gold medalists to zoo animals, questioning their literacy, mocking their education... that’s quite a take. In Michigan we call that sour grapes. These young men won fair and square and deserve to celebrate. And they can read just fine, including the scoreboard.
