Allez les bleus!
This federal election has been interfering with my efforts to recognize the ongoing good work of Alberta's Progressive Conservative backbenchers. Fortunately, that was brought back to the forefront of my mind by today's Saint City News, in which my own MLA, Mary O'Neill, writes a column summarizing the Spring sitting. The most interesting portion of the column is when she blames the Opposition's propensity for asking a large number of questions for preventing a number of private member's bills from making it to first reading - among them, her own bill to make ammolite Alberta's official gemstone.
Also, for you elections junkies, I've been advised by Chris Jones that POI is undergoing some scheduled downtime, and should be back up by Monday morning. In the meantime, just try heroin.
