Welcome, newcomers to this group. For those wondering, this group was formed as a continuation of the former Danielle Smith Locals which she started when she was still a talk show host on the Corus network. She interviewed guests with a wide range of opinions and so many of us started following her. Then she left radio and ran for Premier. She won.
DS Locals was phased out after she became Premier, as she now represented the whole UPC party and there was risk that some of our outspoken posts and comments could be used against her.
When DS Locals shut down, people migrated here and I see we are gathering new members over time as well.
Please read, like, comment and post freely. All polite opinions are welcome, so far, anyhow, and as long as they are not inflammatory or illegal.

Kids got hurt. We fell down. And we signed a lot of casts.

There was no next day delivery.
There was no bundle this with that.
There was no internet. Skip the Dishes didn’t exist.
Fast food was not the norm. It was easier to eat healthy. There were home phones. There was VH.........
