POSITIVE THINKING: Looking at what we like about Alberta

Regular (and probably even non-regular) readers of this blog will know that we here at AGRDT like to complain a lot. While we feel that every bit of this complaining is warranted, we thought it might be nice to give our readers an occasional respite from these bad vibes and try and focus on something a little more heartening.

Accordingly, we came up with an idea for a series titled "Things The Tories Haven't Wrecked Yet." Then one titled "Silver Linings," and then one titled "We Know It's Not The Tailings Ponds..." And then, finally realizing that none of these names quote captured the feel we were looking for, we decided on
"POSITIVE THINKING:" a series looking at what makes our province a good place to live.

If you listened to the government (via it's advertising/public-relations campaigns), you would likely come to the conclusion that the most remarkable thing about Alberta is its low tax load. As inspiring as that is, we think that there's more to the province than that. Like what? In a series of upcoming posts, ourselves and a number of guests from as large a cross-section of Alberta as we're capable of rounding up will be endeavoring to answer that question.

So, over the next month or so, look forward to our onslaught of cynicism being occasionally interrupted by a shining beacon of warm, positive light.
