75% of the billions of dollars that Canada has been spending on military equipment have gone to suppliers in the USA. That's about to change. www.ctvnews.ca/video/2025/1...

“If our world survives, the next great challenge to watch out for will come - you heard it here first - when the curves of research and development in artificial intelligence, molecular biology and robotics all converge. Oboy.” - Thomas Pynchon, 1984 archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes....

Stunning autumn colours today at the Peace Hills Park #discgolf course in Wetaskiwin #Alberta. I designed and installed it in 2005 for the AB Seniors Games, now one of the best courses in #Canada? 🤷🏻‍♂️ The trees 🌲 have grown, mown fairways are tight; it’s a circuit that is relentlessly difficult.

📌 The entire world 🌎 is laughing at America now 🐥

“NDP needs to get it together. Their comms are abysmal.” 🤔

💯 👍🏻 👍🏻

Great news for Canada Thank goodness we voted in PM Carney… he’s working very hard for us 🇨🇦💪

Kent Monkman cementing his position as one of this country’s greatest artists.

Today we honor the children taken, the survivors, and the strength of our Nations. Truth and Reconciliation Day is a call to listen, learn, and stand with us. The path forward is built on truth, respect, and action, together.

😔 #LestWeForget those brave young Americans 🇺🇸 who came north in WW2 BEFORE Pearl Harbour and helped us fight the Nazis.

Sun Fathers/Moon Mothers Beautiful and BIG new paintings by Amy Gaulin at CASA in #Lethbridge this month. 🤔 The humble dandelion grows anywhere. It is a symbol of resistance and survival. PS: #SlavaUkranii 🇺🇦

There are 10,000 signatures heading up to #Calgary today, then on to #Edmonton where they will be compiled with the others collected around #Alberta. Well done #Lethbridge! 👍🏻 👍🏻 One month down and now, less than a month to go. 🤞🏻 #ableg #abpoli

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Amelia Earhart was in the balcony of Ford Theater and also on the Grassy Knoll. She also flew all those Area 51 UFOs. There is speculation that she also tampered with the Challenger O-rings.

Booked a two month cruise to Polynesia and Australia on Holland America’s Zaandamn today. Yay! 🎉 There were other choices, notably Cunard; we will make the trans-Atlantic crossing on the Queen Mary 2 someday. BTW #Disney, no longer a choice after canceling #JimmyKimmel. #BoycottDisney 🖕🏻

We are in an all-hands-on-deck moment for women across the world. I spoke to the @nytimes.com about the strong forces trying to turn the clocks back and how we can all fight for women's rights and futures. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/u...

Unusual temple, especially in contrast to the perfection of the nearby Parthenon.

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment. By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. mh

My nephew and his future bride at the wedding rehearsal #Banff Springs Hotel last night. Both of them newly minted #Doctors with portable skills, the $64 question will be can the incompetent #antiscience #antivax Government of #Alnerta hold them here? #ableg #abpoli

My MP has great difficulty reading. 🙄 We have freedom of expression, not free speech. It is not absolute, nor should it be.

Good article. A lot to unpack. Battery technology is improving exponentially, from small scale applications all the way up to the grid. If I’m honest, I don’t see anyone in the current #Alberta government paying attention. 🤷🏻‍♂️ rmi.org/batteries-th...

"Europe’s first rare-earth magnet plant has opened this year in Narva, north-east Estonia,...built by a Canadian company with the support of the European Union, marks a milestone in the EU’s effort to secure its own supply chain for critical technologies." www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

JRR Tolkien in the gardens of Merton College @ox.ac.uk #Oxford. #UK. He died in 1973, so I would guess this photo was taken sometime in the late 1960s. “It is not for us to choose the times in which we are born, but to do what we can to repair them.”

Brandon taking a solo last night on alto sax with local group ‘Midnight Channel’. The kids are back at the University so, live #jazz is back for another season at The Owl 🦉in #Lethbridge #Alberta. Next show with HB03 September 25 Dig it babies! 😎 😉

In what is likely a vain attempt at improving historical literacy around the subject of The Middle East, I suggest reading these two books together. Of note, the rise of #antisemitism and the slaughter of Jewish men,women and children in #Europe during The First Crusade. pg. 134 in The Silk Roads

A modern take on Chronos Devouring His Son by 18th century Spanish artist Francisco Goya. 👇🏻 Both images equally terrifying.

It’s a tipping point everywhere but #Alberta, where SmithNWesson and her crew have made us miss the #solar bus. 🤦‍♂️ #abpoli #ableg

The gun lobby in this country certainly won’t admit it, but Canada’s 🇨🇦 reasonable restrictions on firearms help this country avoid most of (but not all) the horror and gun violence we see in the #USA.

Fabulous and uplifting, spending just 5 minutes of your life watching this. “Nothing really matters, anyone can see Nothing really matters Nothing really matters to me.” 😉

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Hey #Korea, if you don’t like the treatment your workers receive in the #USA, and who would 🤷🏻‍♂️, move your operations to #Canada. You’ll get the respect you deserve.

😬 “The lamps are going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our life-time.” Sir Edward Grey British Foreign Secretary July 1914

“These results suggest that physical activity levels are directly influenced by the built environment and not simply a product of personal preferences or other types of selection effects” If we really want to make America healthy again, walkability should be a priority

To Cezanne, and beyond. 😉

If you want to see close up the forces that have always been arrayed against the truth about climate change, watch the docudrama ‘The Trick’ streaming on the PBS Passport service. It tells the story of how the bad guys worked assiduously to undermine confidence in climate science, and fighting back.

Avoid doing business with someone who cheats at #golf #discgolf, or any other #sport. It’s a tell

His one legged Marathon of Hope started in #Newfoundland and ended after 5373 km, just east of Thunder Bay #Ontario. Legendary bravery and selfless determination by a 🍁 hero.

“I was just thinking of all the trails in this life there are some that matter most. It is the trail of a true human being. I think you are on this trail, and it is good to see.” Kicking Bird (Graham Greene RIP) Dances With Wolves

I agree with Roosevelt - #StephenMiller is a traitor to our country & our Constitution. #Ftrump #Fmaga #NoKings #EPSTEIN

Doing the same dumb thing over and over, then expecting different results is one way of defining UCP insanity. The people of #Lethbridge said #NoToCoal 4 years ago, yet here we are again. 🤦‍♂️ Can we just give NorthBack $141 million and ask them to go away? Cheaper for #Alberta in the long run.

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming We're finally on our own This summer I hear the drumming Four dead in Ohio Gotta get down to it, soldiers are cutting us down Should have been gone long ago What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground How can you run when you know?

Axe The Vax Tax #Alberta SmithNWesson pandering to her Wild Rose base does #Alberta a disservice.

An interesting study from #Germany.

Yes! ✌️ + ❤️ + 🍷 😉
