“It’s like they throw this shit together because it’s flopped and changed and morphed and loopholed so many times. I don't know how much of this is on purpose — some diabolical intention — and how much of it is just incompetence.”

My love letter to Alberta - a province I proudly call home. I’ve had huge response to this essay - mostly positive, but some very negative indeed. Some have questioned whether a Senator should even weigh into this debate. I’d argue it’s not just my right - but my duty. What say you?

Senator Simons nails it, as usual. “Canada needs Alberta’s brand of courage. Sadly, the hostile, xenophobic discourse emanating from this place has turned many Canadians against us. They see only the worst shadow side of Alberta, the public performance of its ugliest stereotypes.”

Such an important letter. This speaks to and speaks for, so many Albertans feeling the same way. Thank you Senator Simons
"The Alberta I love wasn’t such a cramped, selfish place. It opened its doors, welcomed the world, gave a new home to refugees, recruited the best and brightest, to build an economy and culture the world could envy."

"Our culture of hope and generosity feels subsumed by a culture of grievance and persecution." The brilliant Paula Simons reminds us of an Alberta legacy to be proud of. It’s time to start feeding the right wolf in the fight. #abpoli #canpoli
