1) is there such a thing as a “sist and decease letter?”

2) I’m saving the 18 fragments of my 30+ years old AB healthcare “card” for when the Glenbow Museum reopens and will submit such as primary evidence of “the Alberta Advantage” during the Klein era

Haha I also thought I’d made that mistake and missed it in my editing but I now guess you meant the AP email?

PS: I can’t recall the last time I actually had my paper card. I know the number and verify it’s me with my licence 😏

No, it was just a stirring in my foggy mind boggled by the non-stop bs emanating from UCP 🫩

I have my paper card and I like it too!!! Enough of the UCP silliness.

Thanks for sharing your sense of humour. DasHeibz from DasStack wrote an excellent essay on our new info cards.

Getting your Albert’s Health Care Card laminated is a traditional rite of passage in this province.

"That, unfortunately, isn’t even an exhaustive list, it’s just what I recall off the top of my head."

You're right, it is an impressively long list.

I've always said this is a huge political liability for the UCP and free points for an opposition party that wanted to run with it. The NDP seem reluctant, maybe Guthrie et al will give it a go.

The bungles have been so costly. Almost like it’s not their money and they don’t really care.

I'm good with the Alberta NDP not officially endorsing Mr. Lukaszuk's campaign; I think we know where they stand even without the hockey stick.

I'd be more curious to know where some of our more outspoken MP's land. Has Michelle Rempel-Garner signed? Arnold Viersen? Rachel Thomas, who seems to have so much esteem for American influencers, (God rest his soul)?

I do have quite a funny letter from Shannon Stubbs, from a while back, a letter regarding the APP full of twists and turns where she endorses it but doesn't want to be seen doing it.

Ugh. Why do conservatives hate Canada?
