One Alberta Voice

I just received a text message from Ryan of the NDP Caucus. There isn't a Ryan on the NDP Caucus, so you do with that what you will. It was a message that I regretfully deleted.

While I can give them kudos for doing hiring freezes (although, really, let's be real: there should have been staffing reductions, but, hey, it's the NDP and they feel responsible for everybody having a job) ...
