Layton Burton was one of the few who didn’t have to leave the province when the government cut the Film Tax Credit but he did have to go back to school in his 50’s and completely reinvent himself.
Maybe not quite as nice as the all-inclusive Mexican resort I posted yesterday. But our “staycation” at the recently re-branded Atlas Hotel & Waterpark in Regina with both sets of grandparents was quite a fun way to spend Saturday night!
Went to a meeting of my local constituency association tonight and was very impressed, not just with the big turnout on a frigid night but some of the numbers I’m hearing about fundraising and volunteers. Not sure if I’ll ever have as much fun as I did being part of the Ryan Meili leadership campaign […]

I’ve always been a Flames fan since I have a lot of family in Calgary but they were my second favourite team, at least until we moved to Calgary […]
