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 had a conversation in person recently that pretty much sums up the Canadian political divide right now. Not the cartoon version from the news... the quiet, everyday one we've all had with friends, or family.
It started predictably of course. The usual labels tossed out like confetti (xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, bigot, Maple Maga). Because apparently if you question a policy, you must secretly hate the group it’s supposed to help.
And this little exchange laid it out for me.
For a lot of modern liberals, politics seems to be less about what actually happens and more about looking compassionate. Slap the right moral sticker on a policy "help the marginalized! Expand programs! Signal virtue!" and you're golden.
Ask whether it works in practice? Ahhh... suddenly you’re the bad guy with a heart of stone.
Their world is simple... you’re either “for people” or “against people.” Intentions are everything and results are optional.
In that framework, a policy doesn’t ...
FYI… I just did my Scrutineer training.
Just like our petition signatures collecting… rural voters will Not be able to use their Drivers license with BOX NUMBERS as ID to vote.
They will again need a second piece of ID showing their PHYSICAL ADDRESS to vote.
Also the attestation forms can be used.
This time the attestation forms will be kept by elections Alberta at the voting site.
If they still have the original attestation form they filled out and took home with them to sign the petition, they can bring it and leave it.
The attestation form must be in ink. No copies,
