One month after finance ministers met to discuss the Alberta government's intent to pull out of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) public opinion polling by the Angus Reid Institute suggests there's little desire among Albertans or the rest of Canada to see Alberta leave the plan.

My bro is in a similar state, but not for conspiracy reasons.

I'm finding it challenging watching for a glimmer of reason or otherwise waiting for inevitable calamity. I figure as long as he's cursing me out, he's still good.

    Yeah, I had to cut Mom off long before her move... The constant stream of agitated nonsense was corrosive to my mental health. I kept lying awake at night, trying to figure out how to battle the onslaught of total bullshit from Facebook and the far-far-right blogs that her boyfriend kept feeding her... In the end I figured that I couldn't defend against the entire internet and some dickhead who lived with her 24x7x365, so I walked away.

    There's only two scenarios I can envision -- I get the call that she's been hospitalized and to come get her, or I somehow find out she's died. I'm not sure how I'll deal with either, but I'll know that she did it to herself by believing the bullshit over her last living relative.
