Come Jan 1, all of Alberta goes smoke free.

I think that was like 2 years ago? But in any case it was awesome. I heard talk about them doing it again, but possibly a larger amount. But also that the money might just go into Albertas infrastructure too.
Yea, it was grand. I don't think they will do it again. The provincial government is doing a good job in my opinion. I'd wish they would spend more money on education though. Also, build that high-speed train from Calgary to Edmonton. That would be grand.
If they really go all out, they could get the Maglev system. Oh it would be grand.

Honestly, the smoke-free things will be sweet! I don't smoke, and I certainly don't enjoy sitting in a smoke-chamber all evening.
