What's your resting heart rate?

[NbyNW]

Sorry for my rant. But there are long time Albertans who want less tax, it is a province with big C Conservative for many decades, etc. Well, guess what: this is the situation that's going on right now. Alberta is abit like Canada's version of Texas in a down-scaled way, probably.

So does all this mean I should start taking my heart rate. For me it means doing simple stuff often, maybe not perfectly....cycling, eating ok, etc.

No problem -- I knew you would have an interesting perspective on this since you have lived in several provinces and still have family all over. What I don't get about Alberta is that they are always talking about how wealthy the province is, yet they can't get their priorities straight and solve some of the problems that you outlined.

FWIW, I think the oil companies absolutely could fork over more $$, for all the environmental damage they cause that potentially impacts public health.
