Alberta’s Premier marches in Calgary’s Pride Parade on one day and then flips and serves burgers for unemployed and underemployed Albertans at a union-sponsored Labour Day BBQ in central Edmonton on the next day.
Those two days provide some powerful symbolism of how Alberta’s politics have changed, and become a little more progressive, over the past few years. (I like this new Alberta)
I will be taking a short break from writing about politics over the next few days. Please feel free to visit David Climenhaga‘s excellent AlbertaPolitics.ca blog during my absence.

Communism is alive and well in Albertastan.
Is that shirtless guy in the background Justin Trudeau?
Another way Alberta has changed is the DEFICIT — making our children, grandchildren, etc. pay for our lifestyle today. Maybe NDP should take a selfie of the selfishness it is burdening the next generations with. As Margaret Thatcher [big groan & moan by Dave’s acolytes] observed: “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” [Ouch]
