The Page was in an accident last week! He got steam-rolled!
Not by some big machine – no, no! – but by that annual event we know as a birthday!
Remember as child when it seemed like it took years for birthdays and Christmas to roll around As you get older, they seem to sneak around the corner and hit you smack-dab in the face! Sheesh!
When The Page was younger, his birthday wish list included a few toys, clothes, money or an evening at a nice eatery.
Today, The Page wishes for a cane, walker, vitamins, Geritol, pain relievers and – ahem! – medicines!
Golden years, schmolden years! Bleah! At least The Page is thankful he still has his good looks!
The Falher Pirates are closing in on their fourth NPHL title.
After a big come-from behind 6-4 win at Manning March 15, the Pirates lead the NPHL Final 2-1 and now have home ice advantage.
The Pirates are slowly but surely taking control of the series.
After losing Game 7 of the final the last two seasons, it appears the Pirates are knocking the door down and barging through to win the title.
Go, Pirates, go!
Another few weeks (April 20) and it will be Bunny Day!
Bunny Day is April 20 when that furry fictional friend delivers us a few chocolate treats and hard-boiled eggs.
Bunny Day is rather late this year. April 20 is one of the latest dates Bunny Day (Easter) can fall on. Easter can occur anywhere from March 22 to April 25. In case you did not know, Easter occurs on the Sunday following the Paschal Full Moon. It has nothing to do with a date Cadbury or Hershey chooses!
The Page figures Lesser Slave Lake MLA Scott Sinclair should get a medal, not the heave-ho from the United Conservation Party caucus for opposing the provincial budget.
This, people is a perfect example of how sleazy politics works.
During elections, all the candidates tell us they are working for the people, right? Well, didn’t Mr. Sinclair do that?
During elections, all the candidates tell us they will uphold integrity and honesty in office?
Well, didn’t Mr. Sinclair do that?
During elections, all the candidates tell us they will first and foremost represent the interests of their riding and the people they serve?
Well, didn’t Mr. Sinclair do that?
It seems Mr. Sinclair is the only member who stood on his principles! For that, he should be admired and respected. Instead, Premier Danielle Smith and the rest of power-hungry political elite has to “slap him down” for not following the party line. In this case, to be specific, the elected pigs in the urban centres of Alberta.
The fact is, Edmonton and Calgary treat rural Alberta like colonies. Rural Alberta is a place to rape and pillage the resources to benefit the rich elite in cites, and rural Alberta’s voices be damned and silenced should they speak up.
Some Albertans talk of separation. Perhaps Northern Alberta should separate just north of St. Albert and the southern portion of Alberta would quickly realize where a lot of the wealth in Alberta comes from! Fort McMurray alone, is often called the ‘Economic Engine of Canada’. This sounds a lot like how Ottawa treats Alberta, yet Smith the rest of the buffoons make a lot of noise about that!
But when the shoe is on the other foot, Smith treats rural Alberta just like former prime minister Justin Trudeau treated Alberta.
Boy, that is sure something to be proud of! Following in Trudeau’s footsteps, are we Premier Smith?
On another note about MLA Sinclair, The Page is confident he has garnered a lot of respect in political circles. If you could inject rural Alberta MLAs with truth serum, The Page is confident Sinclair would be receiving a thunderous applause from his colleagues rather than a vote to give him the royal boot from caucus. Sinclair was the only MLA who showed courage.
That shows how sleazy politics is, people.
The Page predicts Sinclair will be a cabinet minister within two years, possible Indigenous minister.
Sinclair has earned the respect of many people in this province on both sides of the Legislature. Even Smith and the rest of the arrogant UCPs will eventually realize it and reward him.
No takers yet to buy the old High Prairie tourist booth, The Page heard at a town council meeting March 11.
Perhaps another town might buy it and use it as a tourist booth? Unlikely, as moving charges might be a deterrent.
The Page has heard a lot of talk about it the last two weeks and is confident there will be bids.
Hubbies, how about a nice gift for that special gardener for Mother’s Day? Might make a terrific and attractive garden shed!
The Page does not demand a sales commission, thank you!
What steps in more manure than a cow walking along a trail in a pasture?
Justin Trudeau!
Riddle: Sandy’s mom had four kids: North, East and West. What was the name of the fourth kid?
Sandy! Gotcha!
Is a retired vegetable a has-bean?
