I want to see the cards that Raj Sherman holds, so Mr. Premier, if you have nothing to hide, give him the written assurances to protect his whistleblowers.

Every day when I take the LRT to and from downtown, I can expect two things: being accosted by drunks and a voice recording that the train is 20 minutes late because of some mechanical failure.

Edmontonians need to face the fact that with or without the Oilers, Edmonton is Winnipeg, just 12 hours west.

I fear for the future of our world. Working with an intern who recently graduated from college has made me realize that an entire generation believes they are entitled to everything and feel they don’t have to work very hard to accomplish anything.

Albertans have given the oil and gas industry $3.7 billion in a drilling stimulus program in the past two years. Is there a correlation, that we have given the Tory party power for 40 years?

The U.S. army is alleged to have stripped its own soldier and left him naked for seven hours because he is suspected of a WikiLeak. Absolute power corrupting absolutely?

Do you ever get the feeling that Jason Kenney invented the “inappropriate letterhead crisis” to take the heat off of Bev Oda?

My friend was recently turned away from playing at a bar in Calgary because he was underage. Even though the rest of his band is over 18, they wouldn’t allow him to play for fear of a fine. This whole situation is just ridiculous.

If you think the proposed arena will be built for a grand total of $4.5 million, then I have some oceanfront property for sale in Willingdon, Alta., that you should get your mayor to invest your money in. The return would be better!

Katz and the Oilers saved $3 million to $5 million or more this season just with the Canadian dollar on par with the U.S. dollar.

Every month, Katz sounds more and more like Peter Pocklington.

The development of the airport, extension of LRT and now pushing the new arena at all costs. What has our mayor found — the goose that laid the golden egg?

In the U.S., cities and states are on the verge of going broke. Here in Edmonton, we’re considering billion-dollar projects like a new arena and the redevelopment of a downtown airport (or keeping it open, whatever). Life just isn’t that bad here, folks.

In what is surely one of life’s cruelest ironies, I have developed a zit on my bald spot.

It is nice to see Iris Evans in the news. I was wondering if she is going to run for re-election again or get a job at the new Sherwood Park hospital.

Calories are those little creatures that get into your closet at night and sew your clothes tighter. My closet is infested with these critters!

The more photos I see of more PC relics smiling at or with Danielle Smith, the more I am convinced that Alberta is doomed. We keep falling for the same old stuff they’ve been throwing at us for 40 years and don’t do anything to change.
