| So long story short. If you want to kill yourself and you don't meet the previous stringent criteria, feel free but don't expect me or the other taxpayers who disagree with your decision to pay for it. Go out and buy a bunch of fentanyl and do it right. I don't understand what you're fighting? You ... |

8.4 cents per kWh? Oh the horror...
Seems whenever Alberta gets a taste of the real world in terms of the price of services, goods, and taxes, the crying ensues. |

| I suspect this is what Jessica is doing, but has had her plans foiled because she owes money from the last trial. I also wonder if he/she is really a Trans. I occasionally suspect he is just pretending so he can win these cases and make money. I don't know for sure but I would think he/she would be... |

| This article can be translated pretty easily into: "It's FAR cheaper for Facebook to allow anyone to say anything they want to, even if it's provable lies designed for political electioneering purposes. So instead of doing our civic duty, we're going to try and save a few bucks and pretend it's... |
