It's happened, folks.
In US terms, if I might steal someone else's analogy, it's as if Texas went all Democrat, from Governor to county dog-catchers.
Further: the last time someone other than the Progressive(?) Conservatives ran that province was in 1971.
Hoping this is a Good Thing...

You remember this posting?
Well, I've got some disappointing news linkage for you.
To be honest, I'd prefer that the fund-raising go ahead for real. As I said earlier, better to cure that petro-dependency now than later.
But it's not up to me, right?

Apparently, there are people looking to make this happen for real.
Given the last few decades of Petro-Dependency, Alberta getting into this game at whatever speed they can would be a Very Good Thing to my mind. However, I can't spare a lot of cash myself right now. I do, however, have this nice little blogging platform with which to spread the word to (a) those who can investigate the project further and - once confirmed that this is a Real Thing in Progress - to (b) those have more cash than I to spend who share my thinking can do something helpful about it.
If this is not a Real Thing in Progress (and there's a chance that someone's indeed out on an internet lark), I'd like to be able to say to my nieces and nephews and their kids and grandkids that I helped in some small way to make it real.
As far as group (a) goes, I know several people reading this weblog are journalists and reporters of some experience and skill. I think I can rely upon you to investigate the matter. Once that's squared away, we can move to group (b).

Figuring that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tartysuz, opaqueplanet and a few others might have a better clue about this one.
I'm hearing about a heat wave in the prairie provinces right now that's been leaving places like Calgary warmer than Dallas! That prospect scares me more than a bit for any number of reasons that, say, a cold-snap hitting Saskatoon for the better part of a month three years back as of this month would not.
To everyone in prairie Canada reading this right now: how's everything going for you weather-wise, if you're willing to share publicly about the subject?
