fact implies last markets nervous supplies year
There's a lot of nervousness in the markets already, but what do you get nervous about now. The fact that tankers aren't being used as much as last year implies that supplies are getting through.
weekend personal-life
I thought very seriously having something more like a normal life where I might have my weekends and evenings off, and be able to read and have a more robust personal life.

If that is what the algorithm shows, I think it needs quite a bit of work.
negativity easy aggressiveness
For members who have only ever been in government, the negativity and aggressiveness of the opposition is easy to caricature.

Sometimes the government has to answer questions with ambiguous language.

new-beginnings diversity community
You go to a lot of small communities in rural Alberta and you'll find a degree of diversity that probably hasn't existed in terms of immigration for a century - you'll find the Filipino grocery store, and the African Pentecostal church and maybe a mosque. Albertans are pro-immigration; they're also pro-integration. In my years in this province I cannot recall more than a handful of expressions of xenophobia or nativism that I've encountered. It's the land of new beginnings and fresh starts - it is rare Albertans who trace their roots here back more than a generation or two.
result
I think the result is positive, and the dividend is a real bonus.
