Enjoy it while you can, you little weirdo. +temps forecasted for the next 2 weeks.

Does McDavid have a broken finger or something? Passing like shit, not stickhandling like his alien self, etc.

An attempt was made.

The final days of the Alberta Legislature’s Spring 2025 session pissed me off. I rolled up my sleeves right after and started a research project. I present to you all an #ableg 🧵: Danielle Smith’s Legislative Wrecking Ball: Part One

CANADIANS Please consider signing Elizabeth May's petition to have the federal government recognize endometriosis and adenomyosis as part of the disability law in Canada. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

🧵 Breaking: Alberta government embarrasses itself again Today, the Centre of Recovery Excellence (CoRE) published a study. Unfortunately, last month I published two stories showing how their data are junk. Let's take a look. 1/

“It's night and day.” A harrowing tale of long ER waits, uncertain treatments and a 600 name wait list for a specialist Chatted with Edmonton's Rayanne Boychuck who says health care has grossly deteriorated in AB since her first serious diagnosis 15 years ago podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/m...

It’s never quite so clear how little hockey I watch now compared to a few years ago as when there’s a trade and I have absolutely no idea who the player is. Anyway, welcome to the Oilers I guess, $4.4M new guy. 🤷‍♂️

Tonight, I participated in the Coldest Night of the Year walk to support Bissell Centre in Edmonton. Easily the coldest of the past 4 years, but nothing compared to what our houseless neighbours endure. 390 walkers raised over $150k! And I got to high-5 @janis.irwin. Together we can create change.

What’s even more sad to me than the misogyny is the part of society shrugging and saying what did you expect from rich white males as though it’s some inevitability we can’t change. Thanks status quo enablers.

Need a new best friend? We've been fostering Inti since January 9. He's almost 4 months, super smart, and he's ready to be adopted! Find him at Alberta Homeward Hound: www.albertahomewardhound.com/ahhrbadoptab... (We'd keep him ourselves if we didn't already have two!)

$30 with 6 days remaining. Song title applicable to an entire nation today.

Unfortunately, good things continue to happen to horrible people. Specifically the Tkachuks.

So that’s what happens when Makar doesn’t dust it off for a full calendar month before shooting.

Originally posted before Canada won the 4 Nations Cup, so reposting for good luck. As always, I’m raising money as part of the Coldest Night Of The Year fundraiser on Feb 28 benefitting the Bissell Centre in dt Edmonton who help our houseless neighbours. cnoy.w-ith.me/AlexL youtu.be/fsWu4XTQBco?si

$180 to go. No time to record something new, so here’s my Raffi cover again. A little refresher on democracy for those who may have forgotten.

Now $300 to go.

A little Gordon Lightfoot to fundraise 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

Guillotines are the moderate solution

I bought a Kool & The Gang LP a couple weeks ago specifically for that eventual occasion and I intend to crank it with the windows open to alert the neighbourhood.

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?...

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...

👀 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.
