Robo calls
We've been getting more political calls this year than ever before. I did a phone survey on Sunday around dinner time and was asked who I thought would be the best Premier for Alberta, I answered candidate A for all 5 questions and within 10 minutes of hanging up, our local candidate for the opposing party called me personally and was not a robot.
When I get any kind of call from someone I don't know I ask them to say "I am not a robot", most will say they are a real person but will not repeat my request and after 2 or 3 requests they cut off the call. So I guess when you think you participating in a legit unbiased poll, you are not.

When the real people call asking about which party Im voting for I just reply " which ever one harasses me the least" and hang up. So far I have not had any repeat callers. If its a robo call I just hang up and block the number. They really need to make a do not call list that included political parties.

The only person that calls our home line these days is my mother in law - and I'm probably just as likely to answer that as I am the bots, telemarketers and scammers.

I'm still waiting for them to come and arrest me. I must have over 100 warrants out in my name because I owe them money. Funny how they cant find me.

I received a text from the current ruling party, asking if I would stand with our esteemed premier in getting the pipeline built.
I texted them back - with a picture of her standing with a pipeline protester.
They haven't gotten back to me... Hmmmm....
