When asked about the UCP's statement on the last offer by the ATA which said teachers need to expect a deal that is "rooted in reality"... ATA President Jason Schilling held very little back in his response. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #abed

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

So it's not just ICE who wears face coverings. Hamas does too. Strange. Maybe it's something terrorist organizations do...

The hard truth is that CUPW members are feeling the lack of a paycheque and so want to go back to work. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

The Moody Blues was an amazing band of ground breaking musicians. One was the bass player, John Lodge. RIP John. Jam it out in Heaven. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/o...

"A billionaire’s wealth entitles him to as many pools or houses or private jets as he can find the time to buy. But it entitles him to no more say in how a country is governed than any other citizen." www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

That show where CUPW learns that it does NOT run the country and they can't get ever increasing money when the Post Office is going broke. Our business just transitioned ALL of our bill payments to EFTs. We will now probably not mail any letters next month. Good job CUPW, you just lost a customer.

Calling friends in Simcoe County and Central Ontario: Thursday next week, October 16th, I kick off my Ontario tour with The Sentimentals in Midland at Midland Cultural Centre. It's going to be a special night. Get your tickets now via my website or from Midland Cultural Centre. See you next week!

We just have our fourth grandchild. Yup. Bingo!

You are so right Maria! This is a wonderful EP and they are a force of Nature/Gospel. If you are ever able to see them live jump at it and it will light your soul down to the core. Congrats Ann and all the Inner City.

I kinda think that Senators and House Members shouldn't get paid during a government shutdown. Seems fair. I mean they ARE government employees right?

Wait, so it the US government shutdown part of the plan to turn the US off and then back on to reset it?

Just listened to Taylor Swift's new album, The Life of A Showgirl. I admit it's not my kind of music. It's overproduced as is standard with this style of music, and the songwriting is what you'd expect from TS. Fans will love it. I'll probably never listen to it again. And the fans can enjoy it.

They are purposely destroying the public education system by underfunding it and funneling money to private schools. They are purposefully destroying the public healthcare system by underfunding it. And yet they have money to have political rallies and call the the "Alberta Next Panel".

Man this is awesome Seth! What a great tune. I love it.

It's for real. I just checked

Can anyone - ANYONE - post a 3 minute clip where the President of the US speaks in full sentences and makes any sense at all? Reading a script from a teleprompter does not count.

Spread this around. Such a well spoken and mature young Albertan!

One of America's best guitar builders is fighting cancer. I own one of Ken's amazing Parker Fly guitars. Ken is a genius who radically rethought the instrument. If you can, help him out. www.gofundme.com/f/help-ken-p...

Want to solve the shutdown issue? Pass a law that all members of Congress, the President and the cabinet can ONLY have Medicare and no other health care plan. Medicare would be paid for forever.

"f my experience with measles has taught me anything, it’s that being vaccinated is as much about protecting those we love who are vulnerable as it is about protecting ourselves – and that, in many ways, we seem to have forgotten that." www.theglobeandmail.com/life/article...

I need to say a few words about Darren. He was, in many ways, the doctor all doctors needed to be. Compassionate, caring, an advocate and a poet. We were all privliged to have him in our world. And we are poorer for his departure from it. Wherever you are, I hope there are paddles and pedals.

Did you sleep well last night? Well you won't tonight. Read this and realize that we are now at the stage where bio terrorists could end human life on earth. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

This is a horrible and sad loss. Dr. Markland was an outspoken advocate for a better AB health system. A great loss for all.

I love Scottish folk music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=loqt...

The Canadian advantage.

For my friends in North Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire, I’ll be at The Ropewalk in Barton-Upon-Humber one week from today on September 19th playing with The Sentimentals. I can’t wait! Bring a friend and I’ll see you there! Tickets via stephenfearing.com or from The Ropewalk.

Good summary on why the US is fucked. The Democrats have no clue on how to fight Trump and his desire to end the democracy and their leaders have no courage or wisdom on what to do next. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/o...

Great new video from Stephen Fearing and the Sentimentals. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LL4...

Have decided that there are two types of people. Those who, when sneaking from point A to point B, imagine the Mission Impossible theme tune as their soundtrack. Those who, when sneaking from point A to point B, imagine the Pink Panther theme tune. (And then young people, obviously.)

Ouch. Too accurate

Well Andrew Coyne is now saying it bluntly: Trump is planning to become a dictator. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

This is so predictable. Those running to remove Gondek are splitting the vote and she'll win again with less than 30% of the vote. Farkas, Sharp and Davidson need to decide which one should run and the other 2 need to step aside. Sharp should stay a councilor.

Nail him up!

This is a Fuck Democracy. “Democrats are freaking out because they are realizing Texas has the authority to redistrict, and we’re going to do so in a way that’s going to lead to these additional seats that will vote Republican,” Abbott said during an appearance Monday night on Fox News’s “Hannity.”

ICYMI, a new Hounds anti-Trump anthem is out:

Tom Lehrer was a huge impact.on me. My grandparents had most.of his albums and I still.know every.word of those songs. They were brilliant. Tom was a rare genius. RIP Mr. LEHRER

So 2 purchases from the US (on behalf of others, not for me) were hit by duties where previously there would have been none. The result: I don't want to buy anything from the US if I can help it. I'm sure I'm not alone. So Trumps tariffs WILL hurt US businesses.

The word “Research” is doing way too much work. We need separate words for “creating new verifiable knowledge” and “looking shit up on the internet”

Why fund a Coast Guard? Well here's why. Quality boat, quality crew very well trained who did everything right. Coast Guard saved their lives. www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/artic...

Science is so cool.

This is one outcome of the failing US Empire. The Chinese are racing past the US in manufacturing, innovation, and production. Ultimately, the Chinese EVs will dominate the market and the US may not produce any cars. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...
