When Canadians complain about our healthcare system, they are often skipping over the massive amount of mismanagement by the provinces. Don’t say “it doesn’t work” while provinces do this ⬇️ regularly

Hitting my goal isn’t looking likely, so go donate to Erin and keep her gold button streak alive!

I don't think it's hyperbole to suggest that every political leader in Alberta needs to officially come out hard against this separatist nonsense to send a message. Every mayor, every county reeve, every MLA with the stones to speak the truth needs to do it.

Considering the events of the day, it feels like a good time to post this @raffi_music cover. As always, I’m doing to to raise funds to support houseless Edmontonians, so please consider a donation at cnoy.w-ith.me/AlexL, like, share, and enjoy! youtu.be/aM6K-aA7Aa4?...

Fundraising for #CNOY26 Coldest Night Of The Year for the Bissell Centre in downtown Edmonton. One-take covers from a guy who needs to practice more. Please donate anything you can or help by sharing. cnoy.w-ith.me/AlexL youtu.be/VmnvOmVCsMU?si

Today is Hockey Day in 🇨🇦 so I’m reposting the one-take Stompin’ Tom cover I did last year. Please help me raise funds for the Bissell Centre helping out houseless neighbours in downtown Edmonton by donating at this link secure.e2rm.com/registrant/F... youtu.be/fsWu4XTQBco?si

With 26 days left, the “Alberta Funds Public Schools” petition is only a quarter of the way to their goal…. Here’s where you can sign. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli abfundspublicschools.ca/cgi-bin/publ...

I’m still fundraising for the Bissell Centre as part of the Coldest Night Of The Year campaign if anybody has some room in their budget for donations. Any amount helps those in need via a proven org with feet on the ground. secure.e2rm.com/registrant/F... secure.e2rm.com/registrant/F...

Among other things, the city needs to explain why this specific plane is privately owned when previous planes were owned by the city. Why did Edmonton tax payers buy a plane for private shareholders?

Honestly, I don’t really want to sing songs for nickels to start 2026. Please donate at the quoted link so I don’t have to. Here’s one from last year that got a bunch of views inexplicably though. youtu.be/mYmvrq-e1kM?...

The difference a year of sourdoughing makes.

If you’d like to make a donation in your name to The Human Fund (money for people) this #Festivus, look no further than this actual, legitimate charitable endeavour which will help fund outreach programs for houseless individuals in Edmonton. secure.e2rm.com/registrant/T...

Preach, @andrewknack. Edmontonians deserve a fair voice in our provincial legislature. One Albertan, one vote. Your vote shouldn’t count less because you live in Terwillegar than Two Hills.

A citizen e-petition has been launched in the House of Commons calling on the Federal Government to its disallowance power to override Alberta and Saskatchewan’s use of the notwithstanding clause to violate the human rights of trans Canadians. Sign here: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Donate a bunch and I won’t pester you all with 2+ months of bad acoustic guitar covers. secure.e2rm.com/registrant/F...

👀 The Table of Availability™️

…did Carney just get Danielle Smith to smilingly agree to, effectively, the Notley NDP’s carbon strategy (sans c-tax) while putting the onus of getting buy-in from Indigenous leadership and BC on her, and requiring a private partnership on the actual (theoretical) pipeline build? Because if so, 👏

An Alberta Sovereignty banner has gone up in my neighbourhood. The house also has a Trump flag, and a half Alberta/half American flag. So do they want sovereignty, or do they want to be annexed? I doubt they know. Just dumb enough to be dangerous.

For all the folks attending protests and collecting signatures in Alberta, it might be a good idea to brush up on these skills.

We need a referendum to force the government to never introduce or pass laws based entirely on religious grounds.

I know it’s a coincidence and has likely been booked for months prior to being released publicly, but Dave Chappelle announcing a show in Edmonton the morning after our government stripped rights away from the Trans community is a little too on-the-nose, don’t ya think?

At this rate, I expect Danielle Smith will also invoke the Notwithstanding Clause when a red light at the Legislature parkade stops her hasty exit later tonight, too.

Looking at some printable Letter To Santa templates, as one does in mid-November, and getting irrationally annoyed at every one that lists Santa’s address as North Pole, USA.

I am soooooo close to 50%! Can I make it there today? With friends like you, it'll be easy. Every dollar you help me raise goes to help Bissell and they are an incredible organization. Thank you Xoxo Erin secure.e2rm.com/registrant/F...

One day, in a hopefully not too distant future, we’ll all go to bed not having seen his face, read his name, or heard him spoken of or alluded to all day. It will be a beautiful, cleansing event even if we probably won’t realize it in the moment.

Nothing like last night, but they’re out there over Edmonton. All visible with the naked eye, btw.

Don Iveson for Edmonton-Riverbend please.

Nefarious, cowardly, swindling rat fuckers.

I didn't properly appreciate this about folks with chronic illnesses until I lived with one but they get absolutely unfairly painted as lazy or not dedicated. Let me tell you those motherfuckers be showing up for work on days when you & I wouldn't have even been conscious let alone gotten out of bed

As has been my official stance for many years, fuck Ryan Kesler. www.nytimes.com/athletic/675...

I’m watching The Tragically Hip live at MuchMusic from 2000 and aside from the complete lack of crowd control around the building the part that makes me feel oldest is that the show just put up a fax number for people to send in questions.

Just watched an interview with Mike Elliott on Global. It’s the first time I’ve seen or heard anything from him aside from a flyer in my mailbox a month ago. He was on screen for about 4 minutes and didn’t mention the people of Edmonton once. The police and Provincial govt? Numerous times. Telling.

Everything seems effortless when you don’t bother to learn how anything works

Those Future Voter stickers at advance polling stations are a nice touch. It would be a lot of work and completely impractical, but one day I’d love to see a kid’s voter card they can mark with an X and deposit in a ballot box too. Make it candy vs ice cream or something fun to engage anybody <18.

Portland is rocketing up the list of cities to visit if the situation ever improves in the US.

If you’d like to hear a front runner mayoral candidate complain about city administration and colleagues and play victim for an hour, listen to the latest special episode of the usually very entertaining Grose Misconduct podcast. Please do not vote for Cartmell, folks. Vote for someone with vision.

Oct 1 officially brings us into the “6 months of frigid cold when you can’t do anything or go outside” that so many people repeat like it’s their job when they speak about Edmonton.

We now go live to Danielle Smith addressing Albertans on the wait list for surgeries, those barely scraping by on AISH, Trans people just trying to access any medical care, Rural Albertans who need one of the many closed ERs, and every houseless person.

Smith's Alberta: We are the economic powerhouse of Canada! BOW DOWN TO OUR MIGHT! Also Smith's Alberta: ONE IN TEN Albertans are on a health care waiting list, and the numbers keep growing…

I'm pretty sure that in 2025, when someone passes away unexpectedly, there are a number of predatory, AI-driven, fake obituary websites that post unsanctioned info. Just an FYI, because I think that's happening today. #yeg #yegbike

Damn I thought girls loved living under constant threat of the most alcoholic parent in the district demanding they prove they have a vagina

I want you all to take a big deep breath and think about the political discourse of this past week. Now think about the reaction/over-reaction and what consequences will be forced upon those deemed to be celebrating when the guy in the big round office goes. They’re putting that framework in place.

(1/2) Sheer is literally doing what Kirk has been doing for years — driving hatred towards those he disagrees with politically. In this case, towards a vulnerable female journalist, @rachelgilmore.bsky.social. It's stochastic terrorism 🤬. #cdnpoli

Yes. Yes, they are.

People running for office should just drop by playgrounds around 6pm. Walk to wall prospective voters doing nothing but looking at their phones while their kids go wild.

You may have heard of the Bechdel test for assessing sexism in movies & tv. There are variations, but I’ve never seen one regarding depiction of overweight people.

FUCK you @nationalpost.bsky.social. This is unforgivable, traitorous shit from people claiming to be journalists. How dare you accept this framing from a state that is SLAUGHTERING our colleagues. How DARE you.

A productive evening of baking, I’d say. Sorry to the gluten sensitive community for this display.
