With all due respect we didn’t have Universal Medicare or The Canada Pension Plan in 1961, on top of other services we all rely on. So I am asking you, where are you going to cut?

In 1961, the avg. Cdn family spent 34% of its income on taxes, vs 57% on cost of living. Today the avg. family pays 43% of income to taxes vs 36% on necessities. And the NDP & Trudeau Liberals say you can pay even more with their carbon tax. WATCH:

As a University of Calgary Senator I stand in solitary with the students who are exercising their right of free speech. I am deeply troubled by what I am seeing at this moment on campus, less than 24 hours after the protest has begun. @UCalgary

To my recollections what is happening here and at the University of Calgary is the most aggressive form protest disbursement in Alberta's big cities history. No dialogue, no deescalation, only violence, by one party. This is a dark week for higher education in Alberta.

If you go to a restaurant be patient if the service or food is slow. So many restaurants right now are understaffed after 3 rounds of opening and closing. It takes a while to onboard. And if you can tip well, a lot of the staff have dealt with financial hardship.

As a former restaurant manager I can say that Yellow Tail Shiraz from Austrialia is a full body wine with a hint of blackberry, carry's a mild smokey flavor, goes well with a grade A Alberta steak and won't stand in the way of safe pipeline development. #AbLeg

An important note. AHS and AGLC has ALWAYS had the right to suspend a restaurant's licence and their ability to serve without a court order. Running a restaurant in Alberta is a privilege, not a right, and if you can't be compliant with the rules, you can't operate. Full stop.

@Dave_Dormer I'm a former (lost the last election) MLA, but I'll practice what I preach. I'm at my neighborhood pub, picking up takeout, to take home for dinner with the family. #buylocalyyc @BobbysPlaceYYC
