And this was Feb 25th
Bob Rutherford will speak to Birds this Thursday. (March 3rd). Heather Forsyth will also be at Birds along with a few others in the PAC to raise support for a unified Conservative force in Alberta. What’s that line about it being time for all good men (well, 2B PC, people) to come and support the party? Well, t’is time to do so.
Members:
Brett Bain.
Sean Baylis.
Jim Bladon. Nothing is benign no more. (Double negative is okay when you know what you’re doing. Roberts’ Rules of Righting.) Drones are newest tool in housebreaker’s Arsenal. Two were used to case a country home then used as spotters while crooks emptied home of contents. • Jim recommends the movie Dead Pool . Livelier than it sounds, he says.
Paul Boucher.
Greg Callander.
Ian Campbell. Even the world of hearing (or not hearing as well as one could) is slowing down. If you know anyone with a hearing aid, urge them to get them adjusted and cleaned. Hearing aids need maintenance twice a year. BTW Best service centres are Ian’s clinics.
(X my heart as Bird this b true.)
Matt Dart. There may be lotsa new hotels around but they’re sure taking things slow. • Matt is about to try backpacking/hiking with his son. Welcomes any advice you might have.
Don Davis.
Todd Dean. Google has changed things again.
George Doherty.
Don Doolan.
Ken Eades.
Tony Fisher. Palm Springs beckons. Tony has absolutely no resistance so … adiós.
Gord Forsyth. Vroom-vroom-Gord and co-pilot-Heather trucked a bunch of things back from Phoenix. Were grilled at border by Canadian Customs but eventually allowed back in. Gord feels the Americans are nicer than our guys. • Ah well, US real estate market is good and since he’s selling …
Mel Gibson. Instead of buying insurance protection, he suggests you stay away from hover boards and e-cigarettes. Those things will disable or disfigure you. • Noticed that Google made another big change this week.
Henry Heuver. You can do some pruning now but check w Henry before cutting. • You can fertilize now but maybe it’d be better to get a soil analysis. Then you’ll know what fertilizer to buy. Guessing is not a strategy.
David Hicks. Living in Reno-land is coming to an end. House is dusty but looking good.
Bill Hoogstratten.
Dan Kennelly. He’s not impressed with city plans for bus lanes along 14th Street. Nenshi may have hidden agenda. (Might? Hah!)
Keith Kozak. Not a call this week did he receive. Advises caution for those who would be landlords.
Matt Litke. Had kudos for Todd Dean. Really appreciated Todd’s creative mind, spitballing attitude and brain storming help.
Andy Lockhart. Andy now has a dog shoulder to go with his bum knee: he lost his balance playing with dog. Rather than fall on pet, Andy fell on his side and separated his shoulder. • CRA and Disability Tax Credits (for his mom) experience turned out surprisingly good.
J.D. MacDonald. Singing “I can hear you calling but you’re not letting me in.” He’s receiving lotsa calls and requests for estimates but few orders. (SFX: gnashing of teeth.)
Michael McLennan. He wishes Konica Minolta were a little smarter about marketing. Ah well. • He couldn’t help but notice how many hockey rinks Edmonton has vis-a-vis Cowtown.
Ross Mikkelsen. Donald Trump look out. Calgary has a new, budding developer. Ross has a bare piece of land. Big enough to do something commercial on. Is thinking of naming it Mikkelson Tower, maybe. Calgary today; Canada tomorrow? You never know.
Mike Mikkelson.
Bruce Roblin.
Dwayne Vink. Off to Bay Street (well, Toronto) to pick investors’ pockets (well, offer them a promising opportunity). Magnesium mine needs development capital and promises surprising returns. Will be working the floor at Mining Trade Show. • Speaks well of RDSP for disabled family members. Check into it or talk to Dwayne, Chris or Dave.
Bob Wiggins. Kudos to Henry.
Chris Wright. CRA is making changes and they could cost you more than necessary, if you don’t do things right. Capital gains and dividends are complicated. Chris has the answer.
George Roberts. Words work when written well.
