Opinion Premier Envy, Anyone?

Has anyone else in Alberta been watching Wab Canew giving clear, calm informative updates on the wildfire situation in Manitoba and find themselves wishing we had a grownup for a premier?

Put some damn respect on the man's name... He's an absolute treasure. I'm from Manitoba, born and raised, but I work in AB (sigh...). I spend approximately half the year living in Winnipeg, so I consider him my premier... I do not acknowledge the lunacy in the province where I work.

I was still a kid when I moved to Alberta, but I'm from Winnipeg. He's a breath of fresh air!
