AIMCo earns 2% first-half return as clients seek to reduce risk-taking - Globe & Mail. Another Danielle Smith boondoggle. A 2% return is well below the average return and one of the lowest returns for a money manager. Albertans are seeing their retirement and public reserves being eroded by AIMCo.

Well, the list of books being banned from EPSB is appalling. And it's very likely that an author on this list will get their other works pulled too, especially in the absence of teacher librarians. There are books on this list that changed my life. This is what the UCP is taking away from kids.
