Happy Birthday

Today is Alberta's 100 birthday. September 1, 1905 was when Alberta became a province. Although I know very little of the times back then. I do know that when they were thinking of naming this province 'Buffalo' was one of the options. I'm glad they made the right choice. Also today Alberta raised it's minimum wage up to $7.00/hr. A 19% increase from the $5.90 it use to be.
I read two good articles today, one by Licia Corbella and one by Michael Platt, check them out.

Happy 100 AB, now if we could just learn to hang on to some of our wealth and not spend it like a kid in a candy store that would be great.

That's a going to be a problem. Everyone's gonna have their hand out looking for a piece of the pie.
mmmm... pie!
I'm hoping for tax cuts, suprise suprise. Whether it's income tax or health care premiums. I don't care.
