Although I do not follow politics... a friend of mine does, and just mentioned to me something I thought I would pass on. Especially to Dorothy Colleen... and anyone else in Alberta.

The new Premier of Alberta seems to have broken with tradition in a big way, by re-instating funding for SRS patients in the province (up to 25 per year) -- without waiting to be forced into it by the legal actions still winding their ways through the courts.

Smile. I was on the record a while back as stating that it would take a court order to make the government of Alberta start funding this again... which I thought would take many years... and that it would take something drastic in the way of change in the current political climate to speed things up. Apparently, I was wrong -- and something drastic did indeed happen to Alberta politics.

It is not often that I speak of any politician using printable vocabulary... but kudos to the new Premier of Alberta, Alison Redford, for a job well done! Grin. If you want a job done right -- get a woman to do it... ;-)
