Snow Day: 09/27

Mark October 18th on your calendar! Mike M has arranged for Councillor Jeromy Farkas of Ward 11 to join us for breakfast.

Gord may be going home soon.   Visiting him there is a good idea.  

Members:

Brett Bain. He asks the unanswerable: why run for a political post when you set yourself up for intense abuse in the media and online?  

Sean Baylis.  

Jim Bladon.  

Paul Boucher. Paul visits Denver and experiences how a robust and diverse economy can be seen and felt just by ‘being there’. Remember when Calgary felt like that? How can we get that feeling back? See Brett’s question above. • It’s heresy, I tell you. Heresy. Paul is praising the Dell laptop – recommending it above the (fat-priced) Apple.

Ian Campbell.  

Matt Dart. Is everyone smoking a ‘doogie’? Are we all high on good weed? Aurora has seven projects on the go and more coming online. And that’s just Aurora.

Don Davis . He’s liking all the fish jumping in the lake. Mike M assures Don that this time, the local fishers will not delete the stock.  

Todd Dean.

George Doherty.

Don Doolan. He encourages us to visit Gord. • He also recommends Roberts Jewellers for evaluating your possessions for insurance and estate purposes.  

Tony Fisher. So how come Alberta is making a mess of its minimum wage policies while Ontario in doing it so much better? Have you driven a Ford lately? Or, see Brett’s question above.

Gord Forsyth.

Mel Gibson. Not sure what to do. Do I sit in my car? Or stay home? Auto thefts and home B&E’s are high and going higher. • Mel says gas is cheaper in Medicine Hat … but it’s a bit of a drive.

Henry Heuver. Don’t wait. Do it now. Blow out your irrigation lines.

David Hicks. To calm himself down about the silliness of pending residential speed limits, he’s stocking up on good whiskey – now on sale at Coop.

Dan Kennelly. It was exposure to radiation while in space, I think. GG Julie Payette is rewriting the Governor General’s job description to suit her sluggish lifestyle. Doing nothing suits me, she says. Besides, I only get $240Gs a year. If I’m gonna intone “Dib, dib, dib” for Boy Scouts, I’m gonna want more money. Of course, JT is waffling.

Matt Litke. Asks an intelligent question: do we want a Christmas Party this year?  

Andy Lockhart. He shares Gord’s feelings about the professional Physical Terrorist assigned to Gord’s ward. • Andy also figures JT will sell out our supply management system – right after the Quebec election

J.D. MacDonald. Has some surgical work coming his way … directed at his left shoulder.

Michael McLennan.

Ross Mikkelsen.

Mike Mikkelson. He’s attending the Pipeline Show and finding the mood very somber. He might have seen Rachel there – but she’s so short and her retinue so large, he’s not absolutely positive she was there.

Brad Pachal.  

Gerry Parcells. Kids and grandkids are traveling everywhere. • His wife has given up her driver’s licence. Voluntarily. That’s a very big and difficult thing to do.

Dwayne Vinck. The Power Purchase Agreement and the balancing pool here in Alberta are political tools to be abused by the NDP, it seems.

Bob Wiggins . Backend discussion.

Chris Wright. 

George Roberts.
