3-4 decades of crippling public education can do that

Yeah but I live in Alberta, and I don’t feel like a lot of the things I see have much to do with what I learned in public education. Maybe I’m wrong.

Danielle Smith already sorted this for you though, Albertans don't need public education anymore. All she had to do was label CO2 a "foundational nutrient for all life on Earth” and bam! No longer a pollutant. Easy-peasy.

She also told us that smoking actually makes you less likely to have cancer.

Ironically, it pissed me off so much that I’ve started smoking more to alleviate the stress.
