Bright flowers to offset the murk

Calgary is buried in smoke just now. It looks like fog, but smells terrible. I was out last night and took a quick photo of it, scroll down. In the meantime, enjoy the bright flowers in sunshine.






It seems fitting that the carbon tax was repealed today. Stupidity. Alberta was in control of where the revenues for that went. Now the federal government is. And no, nothing will come of the court case where Kenney will spend more of our hard earned money tilting at windmills. Saskatchewan recently lost a similar case.

The carbon tax  currently adds 6.7 cents a litre to the price of gas. The price oscillated by far more than that, which tells me it's not significant. Look at this graph of average gas prices in Calgary, and point to a change in the line that tells you when the carbon tax was enacted.


Just for reference, the carbon tax started started January 2017.

This is an unedited view of our street last night about 10pm. It should still be bright, since the sun is still up.

  1. Well number 3 is a break with your normal structure isn't it? That pale yellow background really helps to set off the tulips, which initially read as a single flower. Nicely done! Cheer, Sean
