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.

That’s the statute under which a referendum would be held. Before Bill 14, under the Referendum Act a successful independence referendum would have been binding on the government. But not anymore. Bill 14 says the government is not required to implement the results of a referendum
“if doing so would contravene sections 1 to 35.1 of the Constitution Act, 1982.”
Those are the same words that caused the trouble in the repealed section 2(4) of the CIA. Independence “contravenes” sections 1 to 35.1. If Albertans vote to leave Canada, the Alberta government now has the power to refuse.
I put this ...
Although I agree with pretty much everything she says, she misses the bottom line for all these insane recall petitions…the NDP’s goal is to take over government. The can’t win it legitimately in an election so they’re trying to do it via disruption. They don’t want change in our system, they just want to rule.

The current wave of recall petitions sweeping across Alberta — with 21 MLAs now facing recall efforts — represents a fundamental misunderstanding of both our democratic system and the purpose of recall legislation itself. While petitioners cite disagreements over Bill 2 and the use of the notwithstanding clause to end the teachers' strike, they're actually attacking the very foundation of our Westminster parliamentary system while pretending the problem lies with individual MLAs.
Let's be clear: the Recall Act was designed to address corruption, unethical behavior, and serious misconduct — not policy disagreements. When former Premier Jason Kenney introduced this legislation, it was meant to hold politicians ...
