I just popped into the local registry to renew my license. One, that now costs NINETY-EIGHT DOLLARS. Two, the agent assisting me was so ill I'm a bit shocked she was allowed to be customer-facing and feel like I should be fumigated. I blame Danielle Smith and her caucus for both of these things.

My point is that Sylvestre is perhaps not the best source for reliable information.

I love watching the rise of the UK Greens.

We’re down to 1/8th of a tank so now we’re walking.

Can't ignore the power of a good long weekend!

Colours of the coulees.

First Friday!!! Love me a long weekend.

"Teachers are professionals,” he said. “They already teach the prescribed curriculum in a balanced, thoughtful and age-appropriate way. "Any suggestion otherwise is unfair and quite frankly offensive to the profession." #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I know this is petty, and repetitive, but I sorely miss the Boomer commitment to quiet libraries.

"The Alberta that he, Rath and the rest of their movement yearn for isn’t compatible with most other cultures. Or, indeed, with reality." More and more, this is conservatism writ large.

I can't imagine a better way of encouraging parental complaints and teacher stress while discouraging anybody from wanting to move to the province to teach on the social sciences side of the curriculum. #ableg #abpoli www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?...

Politically ideological bill tabled by the UCP government today in the legislature states “schools must be free from politics and ideology.”

Alberta's new electoral boundary recommendations would see the two biggest cities have less representation in the legislature, per person, compared to the provincial average: Edmonton: 5.7% more people per MLA Calgary: 2.6% more people per MLA Rest of Alberta: 4.8% fewer people per MLA

In my next life, imma be in band instead of sports. Band kids are way cool with their mad skills. #Lethbridge #LCIBandSpringShowcase #LCIGoldJazzBand

Harry learned about using the coulee trails by getting footfuls of pickle pear spines. It’s been well over a month since he’s had one but he got one last week that we couldn’t find for days and then couldn’t remove. That’ll be $572, suckers. Here he is, working it off:

For more than 40 years, the Charter has defended our rights as Canadians. Now it’s time for us to defend it. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/03/25/o...

I'm in full-blown perimenopause & have hardly slept in a week. I cannot use HRT. A friend sent me a newsletter of her fave menopause researcher. The link for my symptoms took me to a supplement that cost $80CAD for 60 tabs (dose: 3-4/day). Go ahead: call me "crazy". #perimenopauseisnojoke

Our dept is having a belated Brain Awareness Week. If you’re in Southern Alberta and want to check out what our dept collectively does, pop in on Saturday. My lab will be open with brains to look at and hold! #yql #Alberta www.ulethbridge.ca/artsci/neuro...

Shit going down in delivery suites in Florida. As if birth isn’t HARD ENOUGH.

Happy Spring, beeps!

Good gawd.

This is a game of legal chicken. Wealthy corporations want taxpayers to cover their exploration costs now. They want us to pay even when their applications get rejected. What kind of world are we living in? thetyee.ca/News/2026/03...

“Palpie” at home.

“Dog whistle to the pro-life base." Chatted with Kristen Raworth about new MAID restrictions, which she says go against UCP's promise to respect personal medical decisions. She adds the bill could’ve forced her stepmother to suffer, instead of passing peacefully podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/r...

This.

@theglobeandmail.com’s resident Trumpist thinks “all” Canadians were tuning today to some rightwing 🇺🇸American podcaster interviewing a 🇨🇦Canadian political has-been. Guess I’m a Greenlander or something. I was having a nap. 🤷🏼🤭🤷🏼

I love this SO MUCH. How did I miss it until now? RB-coded characters:

I have a young person who has been looking for work for a year. Can confirm.

Your health care is strictly between you, your doctor, and Danielle Smith

The UCP is doing what is really important for you folks. I hope this lights a fire under some fence-sitters. This is deeply horrible.

Does everyone know at least ONE Alberta conservative voter who accepted the UCP lies and are now LIVID with this government? Just me?

Are there any businesses with government contracts that have no relationship with Sam Mraiche?

I repeat my belief that Wab should run all of the provinces.

All the GenXers came out to wax poetic (and pathetic) about their undergrad. Enjoyed.

"Companies", like, "farms"?? Sure, Danielle, send the NDP down to the farmers to get them to use local labour. Great idea.

I know you’ll all be shocked but it’s crazy windy in Lethbridge rn.

UFC FBI is the name of my 10,000 Maniacs cover band.

The Manitoba government has Sobeys in its crosshairs as it looks to end anti-competitive zones around grocery stores and offer consumers more choice.

When one lives in a dry place and it’s even drier than usual, one puts a LOT of focus on precipitation in the weather outlook. Which leads to disappointment. (I can’t even use a gif because all The sad gifs have rain in them)

I prefer a minority government, personally. I would rather not see NDP crossing the floor. I enjoy seeing conservatives do it, though.
