Ford: Albertans' complaints don't bear much weight compared to life Down Under (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Relief from the “high” cost of living in Alberta is available. Unfortunately, one must travel about 13,000 kilometres to find it. And deliverance is the opposite of what one expects. Finding a country where everything seems twice as expensive as home but eerily familiar is bizarre. Welcome to Australia. We speak the same language, sort of; we pledge allegiance to the same king, both refusing to tug our forelocks; our First Nations have similar grievances, but this is still a foreign country. Can
Ford: Smith and supporters are the outliers while the rest of us stand together (opens the original)

If David had married Goliath instead of killing him, that might have reached the level of astonishment for many watching two former Alberta premiers smiling indulgently at each other. When conservative Jason Kenney and socialist Rachel Notley announced they were banding together to “fight” the province’s separation question by leading a Canadian Chamber of Commerce campaign, the pairing came as a surprise. But that’s a superficial reaction. In reality, the former premiers from different sides of
Ford: Banning books doesn't help kids — and won't stop them from reading them (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The new year doesn’t start Jan. 1; it started Monday. It started with the first day of the new school year, and while I believe school should never begin until after Labour Day, I’m not the one making decisions. I do caution those in charge, though. At some point in the future the kids going to school now will become parents, and (I hope) they will rebel against everything Alberta schools are becoming. It’s not pretty; it’s repressive; it’s more damaging than instructive. Your weekday lunchtime
Ford: New generation needs to step up to save lives (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It started at the University of Alberta when the Red Cross launched a blood donor clinic for the students. It ended when a chronic heart condition rendered me ineligible as a donor. But in those 50-odd years and more than 50 donations, I was a committed blood donor. As first I told people, I went because it cost nothing; I could lie down in the middle of the day and would be given free juice and cookies (if not doughnuts) at the end. But the real reason I became a regular donor was far deeper an
Ford: A future with AI will spell the end of traditional human interaction (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is discretion a programmable aptitude? Can a machine feel pain; recognize frustration; have empathy? Maybe the answer is “not really” or “who knows,” and that’s why it’s called “artificial” intelligence. I am too old to truly appreciate the intrusion of AI into the working world. But I am not too old to feel the effects. Last week, AI came to my attention. It wasn’t a pleasant meeting. It taught me what the real future of work will be for future generations and it’s not a step up the ladder of s
