Jason Goes to Ottawa


I can't believe how grateful I am that Jason Kenney is taking a delegation of 8 cabinet ministers and civil servants to Ottawa to demand a fair deal for Alberta. I say that because Alberta has been given such a raw deal all these years. Sure, we’ve been the richest province in the country and we still have the highest per capita income but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t get what Quebec has, our own pension plan and police force but we also want our own healthcare system without interference from the federal government. That way it could be public or private or whatever.

Some may argue that Quebec has a distinct language and culture but we have oil. Oil’s made us rich and therefore distinct. Sure, the demand for our oil is diminishing and may never get back to where we were in 2014, but if we have faith and we stop all” Negative Nancys” and “Debbie Downers” making their horrible comments on social media and in public, maybe we can turn this province around.

And yes, I’m also talking to you teachers. I don’t care one whit about critical thinking skills. That just adds doubt and doubt gets in the way of positive thinking. Negative thinking won’t bring the good paying oil related jobs back to Alberta. Every person in the province has to start praying at least once a day and then I think, for sure, the jobs will come back. It’s not going to hurt, right?

As well as wanting a fair deal, Jason is also demanding a fixed date for the completion of the Transmountain Pipelines. Sure, Justin had no control over the courts responsible for the delay but that doesn’t mean he can’t be blamed. It’s kind of like that saying in “Field of Dreams.” “Build it and they will come.” In this case, it could be, “Create the narrative, and they will believe.”

Then, there’s the fact that the federal government bought the pipeline to ensure that it would be built and the oil would get to tidewater. A private company might have eventually purchased it but what if one didn’t? The building of the pipeline would have been greatly delayed. But, is Jason grateful? No, he’s demanding that the pipeline be built by a certain date. It’s like your neighbour offering to build a shared fence with none of your assistance and then you demand that it’s completed by Friday. Now, that’s chutzpah. Oops, I mean daring cause isn’t chutzpah Yiddish which is another word for Jewish which Jason Kenney certainly is not. More on that later.

Television - oh how it's changed.

Crank phone with shared line A little over a year ago, my wife and I cancelled the landline for our home phone. The number was transferred to Nicola marking the end of an era. No more checking phone messages at the end of a holiday. No more telemarketing. No more phoning our house and wondering who’ll pick up. (which our daughter misses the most. Now, she has to decide which parent she’ll phone where before, it was a crap shoot.)   The landline symbolized home. To know a phone number was to know an address. It began with a stem phone with common connection shared among neighbours followed by the rotary phone, then the pushbutton phone and finally, the cordless phone. And then, the cell phone. The cell phone has no sense of place. It goes with its owner to work, a restaurant, a friend’s, on holiday or the side of the road where it fell from a pocket.   The old television with rabbit ears In the same tradition of our landline,...

Cancel or Decouple, that is the question

  Cancel or Decouple? Have you been cancelled? I believe we all have in one way or another. We were cancelled by our neighbours. I don’t know why although my wife blames the dogs, particularly Pippa, our female cairn terrier who likes to pee on Gordon’s pristine lawn. They used to like Finian, our male dog, because he would visit them and watch the goldfish in their pond. Then, Finny pooped on the lawn and that was the end of his visits. But they’d still say hello when we’d catch the other’s eye while out gardening, hanging laundry, weeding the stones or whatever. I do that on the street. If someone catches my eye, I say hello whether I know them or not. It must be an old man thing. One day, they just stopped saying hello or acknowledging our existence whatsoever which isn’t easy because there isn’t a fence. (Weird as it may seem, the only line differentiating our property from theirs is a slightly different arrangement of rocks on the ground.) Betty especially has ignored us. Nico...

Leaving is very hard to do.

Leaving a community where I’ve spent almost half my life was extremely difficult. Leaving a house where we’d really enjoyed living for the last 14 years is also difficult. As I sat for one final time on the couch in the basement and, to be honest, had a little cry, my wife told me that we would always have the memories. However, like music and smells, memory is attached to places and by leaving places, we lose a bit of memory. Our eldest’s paintings of tropical fish in the downstairs basement, the stockings hung by the fireplace on Christmas eve in the upstairs family room. Opening those stockings on Christmas morning. Our ridiculously huge Christmas trees harvested along access roads, our backyard where we’d planted trees around the perimeter to provide a screen from the neighbours and a connection to the forest beyond. The woodpeckers that would come every year to feed their young at our feeder. The bounty of apples provided by the tree in the front yard we’d planted the first ...
