This is a place for Pragmatic Politically Pluralist Albertans can engage and share, as Citizens, not Partisans. Our mutual concern is about the future of Alberta. We in a state of Flux with a changing economy, overwhelming ecological responsibilities, and eroding social cohesion. Now we have to step up and fix our broken political culture. It's all about taking positive action and Press for Change as, together, we strive to build a Better Alberta.

    Should We Trust Jason Kenney?

    For effective long-lasting leadership, a person has to be Known, Liked, and Trusted. The more we've gotten to know Jason Kenney, the less we like him and for sure the less we trust him. I look at the Four Levels of Declining Trust and apply them to Albertans' experience with Jason Kenney.

    What is the UCP Leadership Impact on Citizens?

    There is a culture war inside the UCP for who gets to lead. The Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity for Albertans is destablizing everything. Alberta's Democracy is fragile, especially now.

    Let's Have a Real Public Inquiry - Into Covid

    There is a lot to uncover and unfold and drag out from under the proverbial political rug when it comes to Kenney's handling of the Covid Pandemic. So far only political theatre ideas have been floated around, by the NDP or the UCP, on how to find the truth about COVID policy and processes in Alberta.  We need to know what really went on in the Kenney government around Covid planning, processes, and policy decisions. No All-Party Committee or a few hours dedicated to political debate is going to get the facts, based on real evidence.  We need an independent Public Inquiry to get trustworthy truths. I'm talking about a real Public Inquiry, not the politically motivated abuse of the Public Inquiry process.   We don't need another farce like the  Anti-Albertan foreign funding scam done under the pretense of a Public Inquiry.

    Elections and Reflections - Communities Reboot Local Politics

    There has been a dramatic shift in the political culture of many cities in Alberta, Especially Edmonton and Calgary. Urban Moderate and Progressive voters showed up and made a big difference.  They elected a significant majority of progressive candidates to local government councils. Diversity and Inclusion seem to have risen to the top of the political values agenda.  We have Mayors of colour and from minorities in both Edmonton and Calgary.  And a huge success for those who organized with a goal of gender quality, especially in Edmonton. The other side of the results was the overwhelming rejection of the authoritarian and far-right candidates, many with UCP connection and alignment. There are numerous and enormous challenges facing local government in Alberta.  There is a provincial government that is already hostile to municipalities.  That hostility can only get worse now that their side was routed and ruined at the ballot box.   So what's next for Rebooters and other Moderates?  The basking has to turn into continuing political engagement. We must support those winning Moderate and Progressive candidates as Council members. Otherwise, nothing will change enough to be embedded and gains will not be achieved.  So you need to Citizens Up even more now.  Voting was just the start of the journey to making things better.

  6. Lessons Learned From the Federal Election

    Lessons Learned From the Federal Election

    Many have complained about the ünnecessary, expensive, and expensive" Federal election. As an Engaged Citizen with lots of concerns, I think it was a worthwhile and even timely exercise in applied democracy. We all learned some things and valuable lessons.  The Party Leaders learned they had to deal with pandemic politics and personal attacks. The Candidates learned that campaigns matter volunteers are key to winning and getting out the vote makes the difference. Citizens learned that we have power to make changes, even if that means reaffirming the Liberal Minority government. Citizenship Power is especially potent at election time.  that's when Parties and Candidates truly pay attention to you. They are after our attention and approval so the power shift from the Party-Bound MP to the Individual Citizen. We learned that apathy is boring and indifference is debilitating and together they are dangerous to a robust and sustainable democracy.

    It's Time for an Alberta Vaccine Passport

    Albertans are vexed and the Kenney cash-for-a-jab scheme to bribe bad faith anti-vaxxers to get vaccinated. They are not going to change their vehement and vile attitude against vaccination for a mere hundred bucks.  They will believe that Kenney is desperate and that they are winning the Conservative Culture War when It comes to COVID.  And they are! the Unvaccinated are clogging up our hospitals, ICUs, overwhelming our caregivers, and preventing responsible citizens from health care.  They are costing taxpayers unnecessary additional health operating costs and undermining our economic recovery. Coddling with carrots must be over.  Their bad-faith fabricated farce about "Freedom" is not being taken away.  They can still refuse to get vaccinated but now with consequences. A comprehensive and forcefully applied Vaccination Passport will respect their choices but not allow them to add to the COVID risk to the rest of us.  The rest of us have Rights too, and ours are in the Charter. It is time for Kenney to put away his Libertarian Ideology and do the right thing for a change.  Consider what is best for all Albertans, not just policies that pander to the radicals in his Political Base.

    Schools Are Reopening. COVID is Ready. Are Schools?

    Min of Education says that starting in September students will have "...a normal school year." Normal! Really? How so as a 4th Wave of dramatically increasing COVID infections are overtaking Alberta? There is so much wrong going on here due to ideologically wilful blindspots of those responsible inside the UCP government. Parents, Students, and Teachers are Fearful Uncertain, and Doubtful. What will be the consequences of ill-advised, unsafe, and poorly executed in-person school-based learning? We will know soon. It's not likely to be good.
