Tax forms... I just found a bunch of them in a digital "vault" that my financial advisor likes to store them in rather than helpfully emailing them to me. Possibly the worst vault-opening result since Geraldo.

What a gorgeous day for blossom-watching on the dog walk! #Bloomscrolling #YYJ

What is happening to people’s critical acumen? It’s like someone pulled the plug and suddenly we are all salivating down the easiest plug hole. Celeb-frothing titles have already turned publishing to brainless dirge. Take it the fuck back. Stop acting like pop stars & influencers are salvation.

If you were a kid in the 80s, you probably let out a huge sigh of relief about 10 minutes ago

UVic is abandoning its weather station network (maintained by faculty and staff for free beyond the odd part and unlocking the occasional door to a roof) https://victoriaweather.ca/ #yyj #victoriabc

(1/1) It’s one small step to cross and one giant leap for safety! Work is complete on the updated Oak Bay Ave. and Wilmot Pl. crosswalk in the heart of Oak Bay Village. Upgrades include concrete curb extensions, flashing pedestrian-controlled crossing lights, tactile warning strips and more.

Brazil’s new #ClimatePlan focuses on stopping #deforestation 🌳🚫 The country aims to eliminate forest loss by 2030, since land-use change makes up nearly half its #emissions 🇧🇷 Brazil updated its climate goals to 2035, but this plan puts protecting forests at the center of cutting pollution 🌍

A good 30 years after he said it, I still laugh when I remember my Irish friend referring to his Birks as his "Nazareth knockabouts"

They were evicting him over a measly $75, and they made him read this statement: “My actions had inadvertently subjected the landlord, especially Andrew Bekes of AQP Management, to undeserved criticism and harassment. I sincerely apologize." They deserved every complaint they received. #YYJ

jupiter wishes you a very happy trans day of visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

Judges in Alberta live in Alberta. They are chosen by their peers. It’s non political. That’s what Smith objects to. She wants handpicked judges beholden to her. #abpoli #cdnpoli

Australians all, let us rejoice!

I'm a Canadian and I was a baby when this happened, but I'm fairly certain it wasn't a win

objectively the funniest critique an american could level at another country

Trump people are like, "I slashed my friend's tires, and now they won't give me a ride? Rude?"

A new twist on two classics

Let’s be clear: Russia attacks, Russia refuses a ceasefire, Russia chooses to continue its war of aggression every single day. Ukraine has offered an unconditional ceasefire and wants peace. While Ru refuses to stop the war, Ukraine defends itself and retaliates. Ukraine has never attacked anyone.

Having cozy source relationships with evil people makes your journalism worse and degrades your personality

When Australians poison dingos, they call them wild dogs. When Canadians poison ground squirrels, they call them gophers. Awful stuff, will kill hawks, foxes etc. that eat poisoned squirrels. Weirdly, Health Canada claims that there is a 'safe level' of strychnine 🤡 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Israel will destroy all homes in Lebanese villages near the border and 600,000 people who fled the south will not be allowed home until northern Israel is secure, the country's defense minister said, vowing to inflict Gaza-like destruction in the area reut.rs/4sMaUe3

Another great afternoon to be a dog—or a human—in Oak Bay #YYJ

"The discovery is the latest in a string of recent breakthroughs with solar technology, making the renewable energy sector increasingly efficient and cost effective." www.the-independent.com/tech/solar-p...

Nice little Sunday afternoon: saw the feel-good movie everyone's been raving about, ate delicious tacos, and ran into my twitter buddy @raynarambling.bsky.social who I've been missing on here. If you know her in real life, tell her to come back!

Not sure what the value is for Albertans in having a second party that just wholeheartedly supports the oil industry against any effort to diversify. Not talking about party drama here, just the pure electoral math of it.

You can safely ignore all pundits and pollsters who are already saying that Avi Lewis needs to run to the centre and be pro-oil, anti-immigration, etc. -- basically, Liberal/Conservative Lite -- or else he can't win. No, he needs to live up to being a real progressive and you'll see what happens.

Rushing to the hospital Emergency Room has emerged as perhaps the paramount objective of slamming one’s own dick in a doorway.

Yet another beautiful day to jump in the Gorge #YYJ

Great Bruce McCulloch show tonight in #YYJ. I laughed, I sang about Daves, I felt sentimental. bruciomcculloch.com

Alberta electricity company Capital Power has successfully lobbied the Mark Carney government to drop clean-energy regulations, clearing the path forward for the development of their gas-powered AI data centre. Journalist Taylor C. Noakes explores: https://ow.ly/XM7b50Yzsyb

“The real question, the question almost nobody was asking, is not about Claude or any language model. It is a bureaucratic question about what happened to the kill chain, and the answer is Palantir”

Fuck that

Caledon OPP did basic traffic law enforcement. Imagine how much safer our streets be if Ontario's other OPP detachments and police forces tried doing the same. www.ctvnews.ca/barrie/artic...

A reminder that this and many other innovative restoration projects are the result of the BC Salmon Restoration and Innovation Fund - a fund that the federal government promised to renew in their election platform but are yet to do so.

I also don't really mind when the character of my neighbourhood changes because more density = more stuff closer to me, and i am lazy

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

So folks in #yyj would be wise to add AQP MANAGEMENT to their list of asshole landlords to be avoided.

BRING HIM HOME 😭

Mark Carney is really going on social media and condemning Iran for its "unprovoked attacks on the region" with his whole chest, and I just think we should all mail him pictures of the bombed Iranian children's school until he gets the fucking picture.

This was entirely predictable. And now we are mourning the loss of an Ottawa crossing guard who was just trying to keep kids safe. Shame on the Ford government for putting populist politics over people’s lives. ottawacitizen.com/news/ottawa-...

A billionaire can get what they want with one donation to a political party. The rest of us must fight for years to get even the most basic rights recognised. Money destroys democracy, more than any other cause. The first step towards a better world is to stop the rich buying political outcomes.

Same SOP for Conservatives in Canada. Defund ➡️ Crumble ➡️ Complain ➡️ Privatize

Bringing the A-game to the closing argument: “This case is as easy as ABC,” lead trial attorney Mark Lanier told the jury. “Addicting, brains, children,” adding companies “didn’t just build apps, they built traps.”

Sorry I can't stop thinking about this. This needs to be treated like a massive scandal because it is. The government made a major decision about someone's life using a machine (who has the data?) that was *completely wrong*. How often has this happened and not been caught? Who made this choice?

Honest question. I see people on here make silly fun lighthearted jokes about things that are not that serious, and people respond with an unnecessary Trump joke. Why are you letting that man colonize your mind?

Yitzhak Kroizer, Israeli MK and member of Israel's governing coalition, defends the summary execution of two Palestinian children by Israeli soldiers who shot them in the head: "in Jenin, there are no innocent civilians. In Jenin, there are no innocent children."

One week ago. Sigh.
