Smith is floating up enough impactful decisions for this province that it merits calling an election to see if she has a mandate from more than just her base. Am I wrong?

Today, we have to do a weight check on our two kitties. It will be the first time they go to the vet together. Send thoughts and prayers.

Argh! Shoot a clean plate first. Five takes ruined because I didn't have the clean plate I needed for the special effect. Always shoot the clean plate first.

Ever get the feeling that instead of trusting experts, Danielle Smith is going to rely solely on the same people who designed the decal for her WRP campaign bus?

Well, making almost everybody a cabinet minister or parliamentary secretary is a kind of united. But as for conservative... I'm sure taxpayers will raise an eyebrow at all the bump up in salaries.

If a bozo eruption occurs in a forest of cabinet appointments, and the media is stretched too thin from reporting all the other eruptions to track the new one, does the voter stop caring?

Wouldn't it have just been more efficient to say who didn't get into cabinet?

Madu getting deputy premier is not a endorsement of his past behaviour but a sign that Smith's all-rural strategy needs a few urban ridings to hold on to power. Wouldn't it be terrible if that plan backfired?

My cat is lounging on top of my laptop with some serious Friday energy.

The more I see newly formed Twitter accounts with anonymous handles tweeting their support of Smith, the more I'm reminded of the joke about the lonely kid who wore a pork chop around their neck so the family dog would play with them. #BotBotBot

As I observe from the sidelines, I can only conclude that the politician who stokes anger to rise to power will eventually become the target of the anger they stoked.
