Growing an economy is a recipe. Tax cuts are an important ingredient, but not the whole dish. Public education, healthcare, broadband, infrastructure, and stable leadership are needed too. The NDP platform is a plan for a Better Future!

ICYMI: The Canada Pension Plan is an important part of retirement security. The plan is stable and well-managed - averaging annual 10% returns for the past decade! We can't afford to let the UCP gamble with Alberta's pensions. Their gambling has already cost us too much. #ableg

New #solar milestone yesterday in just over a month since install. We got our first net positive day. Solar generated 30 kWh and we used 29.1 kWh, had there not been a hour and a half of cloudy time the numbers would have looked even better. #solarpower #greenenergy

Graph looks good until you look at the scale. Been a pathetic couple days of production with the snow covering the panels and cloud. #solar #solarpower #greenenergy

Tried out the PiPbot v1.1 from 3D Honza today. Turned out really cool, some wonkyness on the tracks from my printer stranding but overall really neat. #3dprinting #ender3v2 3dhonza.com/
