I decided to rant on the Bird site about my (privatized) ECG test access problems because it still feels like the right place to document anger. This place seems less appropriate. That’s probably a good thing. #ABLeg #ABHealth

#ABLeg Bill 1 is being amended so that Cabinet-written legislation has to come back to the Legislature for regular 3-reading debate. If that was always the intent, then why does Bill 1 need to exist? The governing party bringing legislation is the normal legislative process! They don’t need a motion from the Legislature to do that.

Looking forward to our first Foothills Concert Band concert of the season. “Something Old, Something New” is the theme. At St. Stephen’s Anglican in the Beltlind, 7 pm, suggested donation $10. #yycmusic #windband #yyc

Some days, I love time zones. Just before I went to bed last night, I dropped a note to someone in Europe, asking for some background information. When I woke up, the response was there in my inbox (with some nice personal anecdotes as well).

I made it to Friday!

There‘a a number of good takes on the #ABLeg UCP Sovereignty Act, but this one by Graham Thomson has the best opening:

“Observers had long suspected Alberta’s Sovereignty Act, once unveiled, would look like a dog’s breakfast.
What we didn’t realize was that it would look like a dog’s breakfast after it had been through the dog.”

I started to flush out my next #MacAdmins blog post tonight while walking the dog — it’s going to be a doozy! Lots of different working parts for this one that play off the expertise of (many) others, all to create a tiny, signed, mostly payload-free package. So, if you don’t see it for another month, you’ll know why. 🙂

It’s been years since I had an aura show up in my visual field. That happened this afternoon. Definitely need to de-stress. I’m just grateful I don’t get the migraines that go with these for most people.
