Family getting ready to enter store tonight. Mom & dad put on their masks, then dad crouches down to little girl, maybe 3. Dad: What do superheroes do? Girl: They protect people. He helps her put on her mask. Dad: What are you? Girl: I’m a superhero! Yeah, kid, you are. #yyc

Sigh. 3.5 more years of this. And all we can hope is that @nenshi and @albertaNDP , along with Albertans, can make enough noise to pressure the government into being not so crazy and evil. #ableg #abpoli

I never thought I’d see the day a government would support a town hall led by conspiracy theorists and physicians who have lost their license to practice, but here we are. The lunatic fringe truly is running the show in Alberta.

@CAFinUS It’s a start. A good start, but just the start.

@meyer_lucas @Jamestcanadian1 Good. At this point he shouldn't ever get his license back. I compare his dangerous behaviour with Paddy's BBQ here in Calgary, who voluntarily chose to go to take out only. And in the process earned repeat business from us this weekend.

@kourtpenner We need our municipal leaders to speak out like this. Smith & the UCP need to be held accountable for their words and actions. And Calgarians need to recognize how little the government cares about the majority of Albertans who live in our cities. #ableg #yyccc #yegcc
