One month after finance ministers met to discuss the Alberta government's intent to pull out of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) public opinion polling by the Angus Reid Institute suggests there's little desire among Albertans or the rest of Canada to see Alberta leave the plan.

Oh yeah, my mother was pushed down the internet conspiracy theory rabbit hole by her idiot boyfriend over the course of the pandemic. Their latest dumbass move to was to relocate to Alberta because the political climate more closely aligned with their beliefs. Given that my mother is chronically ill, and it had taken years for her to find good specialists, I will not be surprised when I get the call that she’s died early because her disease isn’t being properly managed.
My bro is in a similar state, but not for conspiracy reasons.
I’m finding it challenging watching for a glimmer of reason or otherwise waiting for inevitable calamity. I figure as long as he’s cursing me out, he’s still good.
Yeah, I had to cut Mom off long before her move… The constant stream of agitated nonsense was corrosive to my mental health. I kept lying awake at night, trying to figure out how to battle the onslaught of total bullshit from Facebook and the far-far-right blogs that her boyfriend kept feeding her… In the end I figured that I couldn’t defend against the entire internet and some dickhead who lived with her 24x7x365, so I walked away.
There’s only two scenarios I can envision – I get the call that she’s been hospitalized and to come get her, or I somehow find out she’s died. I’m not sure how I’ll deal with either, but I’ll know that she did it to herself by believing the bullshit over her last living relative.

Stop electing morons and this would be less of an issue
Can’t stop won’t stop.

Dat rural voting block fml
I’m sorry for my neighbors. People out here are more interested in punishing Trudeau than they are in improving their own lives
they’re more interested in punishing his father, but will settle for trying to make JT’s life miserable by proxy.
I see so many F🍁ck Trudeau stickers on trucks. How does a person make their personality about hating on someone? It makes no sense.
Have you met their role models from America?
