There's no title for this because anything I think of sounds like my bragging another "I told you so".  But Jesse Kline, writing in a column in today's 'National Post', says exactly what I said about our new mayor, Jyoti Gondek.  Basically, she doesn't know what she's talking about.

"Calgary mayor on a fool's errand" is how he described her because she stupidly declared a "climate emergency" in Calgary and immediately vowed an all-out war on oil and gas.  Hello!?  Oil and gas are the life blood of this city, this province, the entire country and every other for the foreseeable future.  Fixing the climate will take decades, if not centuries, if mankind can even make a dent, says Kline.  In the meantime, it's an oil and gas world.  I agree with Mr. Kline, Jyoti, stop shooting us all in the foot, enough of the blah-blah-blah and work with the industry to keep jobs in Calgary and Alberta.

Doug Saunders, in today's 'Globe and Mail', wrote about an interview he had had with Governor General Mary Simon during her "State" visit to Germany.  (I put "State" in quotes because unless she ventured there at the request, and on behalf, of Her Majesty, what was she doing there?  Perhaps a reader will enlighten me.) 

Apparently, Her Excellency kept referring to herself as Canada's "Head of State".  No, Ms. Simon, you've got that wrong.  Queen Elizabeth is our Head of State.  Mr. Saunders reported that her staff actually had to call back to say that she meant to refer to herself as "the representative of Canada's head of state."  

As I have said, please brush up on the Cole's Notes version of what a governor general is, Ms. Simon.
