I really dig these arftful boxes of sand the City is putting downtown.
Yes, there’s snow in the forecast. But in some of the sagest words to ever come from science fiction; don’t panic.
This has to be good news, what with the way our provincial government basically depends on energy money. And you didn’t help by buying all the bonds. More on the bonds from the National Post.
There are going to be more stories, I’d bet, on the Alberta foster care system in the next little while. This is because a toddler just died in care. And it’s being investigated as a homicide. So, you’ve got this, and this to start the debate. Sadly, the debate only tends to happen after such a bad incident.
Then it will be shuffled off the front pages by bikini girls, Oscar winners and Daryl Katz begging for money. Alright, one of those is just the Sun, and one actually has an impact on the future of our city, though dead kids surely impact our future in some way.
Oh, and something about this Sarah Palin headline sends a chill down my spine. This story on Rebooting Alberta only moderately helps to warm that chill. The Journal’s got more on the Alberta Party too, in a story here.

Taxi Tax (Insurance surcharges, as Metro can show you, aren’t a “tax.” Add a dictionary to the animal books, Global. And the Sun says cabbies are going to ask the City to takeover their dispatch too.)
The Oilers have won two in a row. Didn’t anybody tell them to keep gunning for the first overall draft pick?
