I ordered a pair of fringed “dancer boots” from Manitobah Mukluks this morning because well firstly I love fringes and secondly, they were on sale. When I scrolled down the page I read the following statement. I had a little chuckle because the boots are made in China there really is no information on how “indigenous” the staff are. I suppose it’s OKAY to sell off your culture for profit and assure the NON-indigenous buyers that they will be fine if you make statements like this. I wonder what the “celebrating Indigenous culture in a authentic meaningful way” will be when I am stompin around through Costco in them this winter - LOL. Good grief people are twatwaffles.

I have never voted for DS/UCP candidate in my area; (never trusted her since the floor crossing.) I have supported the independence choice from early in the APP process. The recent result was disappointing but not unexpected
I would encourage folks to read Judges and Samuel. In Samuel the people choose a king over serving God even after he warns them what will happen. It is reminiscent of today, nothing changes when we choose other people to rule over us. The underlying observation is, Who do we serve?
A free Alberta would have been great but it is poor second choice to a freedom of God's choosing which may not have been the direction that the new country would have taken.
In the mean time I am a UCP member and have engaged in the process of changing policy to further provincial sovereignty within Canada (a poor third choice). DS needs to be pestered with those policies at the AGM and in future townhalls.
It's more likely Canada breaks apart early next year, these debt levels can not be maintained, Canada can not defend itself and by January we will have lost our biggest trade partner (75%+).
KEITH WILSON: Alberta will hold another independence referendum within five years.
Speaking just days after the October 19 vote, Wilson says he's certain Albertans will vote again and predicts the results will be very different.
