I went to a talk by an author of a book about Jason Kenney and how his time in Alberta government led to the current situation with Danielle Smith and the UCP. In light of current issues, I figured it might be worthwhile, if depressing.

It was just as depressing as I expected, and I'm not sure if I got out of it as much as I expected to, though I did take some notes of things to look up later. The author thought that Danielle Smith can be pressured and persuaded to change policies, but in response to my question of, "How?" had no concrete suggestions.

I'll probably read his book, since the library has it, but we'll see. (It's Kenneyism by Jeremy Appel.)

I have to believe that there is some way to change my province for the better, because otherwise, the outlook is too bleak.
