To talk about the weather in a positive way is not only infrequent, it is also a bonus. That is where we sit in Edmonton this week. Awaking to +5 this morning and a week forecast much the same makes me feel like I can do this 4 month stint.
I am beginning to figure out all the administrative stuff with this job, but not liking any of it any better than the first day. Might just as well suck it up and just do it all. That is what is expected of me, and that is how it is.
Now time to wander in the direction of the school and begin a new day. Armed with newspapers for my classes, we will be discussing and reporting top news stories together. I wonder if they will understand the impact of the premier announcing that a 'sales tax' could become a very real situation here in Alberta. With plummeting oil prices, the premier is facing a huge deficit in the provincial bank account, and unable to figure out how to deal with this other than a sales tax. Alberta has always been the dream province to live because of that lack of a tax. We all know that if a sales tax is implemented that we will never see it go away again. That is the way of politics. Watch and wait.
